D3 multiplayer demo for Linux

Post by Csan »

Hey dudes, I'd like to start playing D3 and I am running Linux everywhere.
I've been looking for stuff but haven't found any download links for the Linux D3 demo.

- which version will allow me to play on the public servers nowadays?
- where can the linux client demo be downloaded from?
- I'd start a linux D3 server. Anything specific to know about it beforehand? Any HOWTO on that? :)

Thanks and regs,

you will need full version as demos can't see retail servers. Can't offer advice about where to get it - sorry.

Loki went out of business. You may have to Google-it to find a copy, or check eBay.

I'm trying to start a linux D3 demo dedicated server.

However, 'descent3_demo -dedicated' doesn't seem to run without a 3d graphics environment running.

I find this strange... is that true? Is the dedicated server supposed to run like this or can running it graphically in X11 be avoided somehow?
