Diablo 1 classic requires CD installed after replacing ddraw.dll #286

I downloaded the new cnc-ddraw for diablo 1. When trying to launch classic mode on GOG it prompts me to insert the Diablo CD. When I cancel out it It states there is a problem trying to load diabdat.mpq. The non classic mode works. There is only the cnc-ddraw file, I did not see cnc-ddraw.dmp. Thank you. cnc-ddraw-1.log

Yeah, it's a known problem with the classic version (somehow GOG decided to put the no-cd crack into their ddraw.dll)

You'll have to use the dx version instead, you can copy over the battle.snp to your dx folder in case you want to restore online multiplayer support via battle.net

Thank you for the reply, I will give the DX version a go.
