  • installed and ready to rock :D
     

  • INstalled and ready to pwn demons!
     

  • how big was the additional install (not including the 7.7gigs in the pre-download)?

    • Not big, I think it was only few megs….

    • It ended up being aroung 15 gigs total if I remember right.

      • Yes but then you go back and delete the first folder you downloaded which was 7.7GB. That was just data and has nothing to do with the game after its installed.

        Or just leave it there, it isn’t my hard drive you’re uselessly filling :p 

    • Misread your post. The additional download was 62 megs or something.  15 gig was the “space requirement” to install.  The final install on my drive is ~8gb, not counting the initial 7.6gig pre-download (which i deleted).

  • Is it unlocked for all regions?
    I’m from Germany and it didn’t work for me, still says that an encoding error of some kind occured and yes, I downloaded the new installer :-/ any clues?
    btw. captcha says “patience, child”, so true.

  • after i downloaded the new installer for EU called: Diablo-III-8370-enGB-Installer-downloader.exe 
    I start the Install, and I get this message: ERROR: The Installer was unable to read the file “Diablo III\Diablo III launcher.exe”

    Some words of advice? it happens everytime I try to install the game :(

    • im eu and had no problems with that installer. games starts fine

      • well im installing now, it seems like I did not download the full game client, since when i ran it for the 2nd time, it downloaded 3 more mega and that is so since i saw one MPQ file or whatever it was not completly downloaded since it had temp behind file name

  • …
    Installer Tome 2.MPQE could not be opened because error 108 occurred.
     
    Wut? WUT?

    • I have the same problem! I even made sure to use the new downloader posted a few days ago and re-downloaded the whole 7,6gb or however much it was, as I didn’t trust the installer had updated correctly :(

    • if you have the kit at drive:\diablo\Diablo-III-8370-enGB-Installer

      try to re-download the big 7.6 gb kit at the address:

      drive:\diablo 

      Normally it should overwrite the damaged files and you should be ready to go afterwards. 

    • That means that the file was not completed downloaded.  If you go to the folder where the downloaded contents are, you’ll see that file with a .part at the end.  I had the same problem.  Just launch the downloader again and direct it to the same exact folder you originally specified for the installer.  Don’t choose a new folder or else it will try to download the whole 7.6 gb again.  It’ll run a file check, download the missing content, and at the end the downloader will have a “Finished” button.  Once you click that button, it’ll launch the installer.

      Be patient with the installer.  It sat and seemingly did nothing for at least 10 minutes at some point, then it rocketed it up in speed.

  • The total install was 15 gigs, took about 20 minutes.
    Just started the game up, watched the cinematic and changed some options. Only a couple more hours left to go!! :mrgreen:

    • Really ? my folder size is  just 7,76GB (8.343.517.737bytes) Did something go wrong ?

    • It’s only 7.76giga. I think you installed the game into the same folder as the pre-install files.

      • Strange, I thought the setup said it was 15 gigs and I did make a new folder for the game. My D3 folder is only 7.76 gigs though, so I guess you’re right.

        • The original folder gets deleted after you install the game FROM that folder.
          The only way I could see this getting confusing is if you downloaded the install package to your C:\Program Files(x86)\ drive and named it Diablo III. Then you would have some overlap.
          Otherwise, just execute the installer from the folder you downloaded from Blizzard, then let the installer do the rest.

          When you are done, go back and delete that original folder you executed the installer from.

  • EU here. Installed without problems after updating the installer a few days back. No problems! You can see some movies too!:)

  • Hell yea, 6 hours to go till the Game Begins!  8)
