Problems Activating 7.65
« on: February 06, 2006, 10:21:04 pm »
Alright, This is what I have done:

Uninstalled CE 765
Deleted 765
Uninstalled Diablo 2 LoD
Deleted Diablo 2 Directory

Installed Diablo 2
Installed Diablo 2 LoD
Connected to Battle.Net for the latest patch
Copied all files in the Diablo 2 Directory into a backup folder
Downloaded CE 765 with SP2 included (92.2MB)

Ran CE 765
Opened Mod Activator

Then it said:

Missing File !
patch_d2.ce

Chaos Empire activation failed

What do I do to get CE activated?
Please explain in baby steps so I can understand

Also, sorry for creating a new thread about the same topic I created earlier, but my thoughts were unorganized in the previous thread.

Soweit ich das sehe fehlen dir wirklich nur die 1 Datei:

patch_d2.ce (ca. 85MB groß)

Dafür sehe ich nur wenige Möglichkeiten:
1. Du hast nicht genug freien Platz auf der Festplatte damit diese Datei entpackt werden kann.
2. Dein Download ist beschädtigt
3. Du hast sie versehentlich gelöscht. oO

Durch die Dateigröße ist auch ein Versand per Mail ausgeschlossen.

Could you repeat that in English please? I don't speak German.

Is this what you meant?

So far I see that you are really only missing the 1 file:
Patch_d2.ce (ca.  85MB large)
For that I see only a few possibilities:
1. You did not have enough free space on the hard disk with this file entpackt.
2. Beschädtigt
3. You mistakenly deleted it. oO

Because of the file size, a delivery is excluded per mail.

1. I have 16 GB of free space on my hard drive.
2. What was the second option? I can't translate it.
3. I am 100 percent sure I didn't delete it. I've Uninstalled and Reinstalled Diablo 2, LoD, and CE several times in the past four days, and I have never found the file patch_D2.ce.

Also, my email has 250 MB of storage, so why can't you email it to me? my Hotmail is cta_40@hotmail.com.

Winnipegseas  I think I see the problem. I had something very simliar happen when I tried to upgrade. I think when you connected to battlenet to download the patch it downloaded the 1.11 patch.   I couldnt get CE7.65 to run with the 1.11 installed.

I think if you reinstall Diablo and LOD  then you should try getting the 1.10 patch from the Blizzard patches Chaos site here,

Make sure you dont have a data dir in Diablo II
   
then save the 7.65 patch with the sp2  to your hard drive and then run the file.   

You should be able to activate it and play.  It worked for me doing it in that order.

@WinnipegSeas Beschädtigt  probably means "corrupted"  (bad download).

Quite probably, your ISP won't allow a mail file over 1MB in size, we're talking about an 85MB file.

@DrowElf, Chaos says "Keep sure, that you have a patch.txt in your D2-Folder."

How does that file get into a directory on a clean install?

@GodEmperor: Chaos says all blizzard versions up to 1.11b are supported...

I know Chaos said it works from like LOD Version 1.07 to 1.11b, i was just relaying what worked for me on one of the computers I play CE on.  Since I had a bit of trouble getting it to work properly.

Ive downloaded and re-downloaded CE 7.65 with SP2 included 5+ times now, so is it a courrupted file every time I download it?

I'm sorry, I dont understand computer stuff... What does ISP mean?

The patch.txt got into the directory on a clean install by installing and patching D2 LoD.


I am not upgrading from any previous versions, I am starting at CE 7.65.

Also, before I reinstalled D2, LoD, and CE, I was using the patch 1.10, which failed.

The Data dir was only in the D2 directory after I ran CE 765.

ISP =  Internet service provider.  It's quite common for emails to be limited in size.  typically 2 meg is the max size allowable for emails.

hmmm  Wish I could help. 

dumb question...  are you sure you actually uninstalled everything and deleted any excess files that might of been sitting in the DiabloII folder?   Maybe that's the problem

*************
edit...   try saving the file to a different location.  Your browser may not be refreshing the download correctly.  You might also try rebooting   then reinstalling.

Internet Service Provider... the company that lets you see the internet.  Mine's 'verizon.net'
I have no idea how patch.txt got into the directory on a clean install.
I guess the important question is: was patch.txt there? If so it might have been created by the blizard download-upgrade action.  Since 7.65SP2 knows how to handle all blizzard versions 1.07 to 1.11b, it probably has to know which version your D2/LOD has been upgraded to.

I am not upgrading from any previous versions, I am starting at CE 7.65
understood.  Are your absolutely free of d2loader/NoCD stuff?  Just a stock clean install of D2/LOD and patch 1.11b from blizzard?
Also, before I reinstalled D2, LoD, and CE, I was using the patch 1.10,
and the Data dir was only in the D2 directory after I ran CE 765
Wht's so puzzeling is that I removed CE before installing 7.65, so I was like you: D2/LOD/1.10.  I ran the installer and it was absolutely seamless!  Perfect!

After I uninstalled CE, Diablo2 + LoD, I sent the Diablo 2 dir to recycle bin and emptied it.

My ISP is MTS High Speed Internet, (I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada) How do I check my email limit size?

Is there a way to break down patch_D2.ce into seperate files that can than be merged together after all the parts are downloaded?

Also, it is a clean Diablo 2/LoD... No CD cracks, maphack etc.

What are my options to get CE working?
Postet at: February 06, 2006, 11:51:20 pm
Should I:
Uninstall CE 7.65
Uninstall Diablo 2 + LoD
Delete Diablo 2 Dir
Delete 765

Install Diablo 2 + LoD
Patch to v 1.10
Download 765
Run 765

What should I do if the same error message pops up again?

winnepegseas that sounds like an excellent plan.  It should work. 

Think Positive.   THIS WILL WORK.  IT HAS TOO.   My GOD man this is the BEST mod, it has to work.

Sorry for posting in german, i was a little confused i think.^^

And i can´t send this file to you cause my mail account don´t support sending such great files.

Splitting the file could work, but you wrote that you downloaded the file many times. I can´t imagine that the download could be broken at all this times, cause all other players hadn´t this problem.

I went out of ideas would could be the problem in your case.

btw for 1.07 you are right, there wont be a patch.txt, probably there is, with a base 1.03 classic cd, my 1.00 and direct lod upgrade does not have one...but i created a new patch.txt before, than it worked also for 107
sorry for this confusion

probably it will  be better to leave patch.txt out of everything
