Hi All,
The following instructions allows one to play Diablo III under either i386 =

amd64 FreeBSD 9. Unfortunately actually installing the game does not work =
due=20
to problems with Agent.exe however once installed (from a Windows instance)=
=20
the game runs well, with 48 hours reported as error free. =20
Special thanks to alphachi for solving and testing the below procedure. =20
Instructions:
1) Install the wine-fbsd64-diablo3[1] package from mediafire[2] (tested us=
ing=20
1.5.4). =20
2) Choose a directory to have the diablo 3 wine prefix (`export=20
DIABLO=3D$HOME/diablo3` or `setenv DIABLO $HOME/diablo3`)
3) Install VC++ 2008 Redistribution (`env WINEPREFIX=3D$DIABLO sh winetric=
ks=20
vcrun2008`)[3]
4) Copy an INSTALLED version of diablo 3 to the wine prefix (hint: use=20
VirtualBox to install the game)
5) Start the game with `env WINEPREFIX=3D$DIABLO wine Diablo\ III.exe -lau=
nch`=20
