Hello! I recently bought a new computer and I would like to play Diablo on it. I moved all the game files from my old computer to my new one via a flash drive. I had to move it in more than one trip because Diablo was too big. Once I try to start the game it wants to download the whole game again and I don't really want to do that. I don't think I missed any files when I moved them but any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Okro ,

What folder did you put the game in on the new computer? Did you make a new shortcut for the game or copy it over from the old computer? Are you sure it's trying to download or is it just showing the initializing bar? How big is your game folder?

Okro,

Then you're either missing something, the folder structure you recreated is incorrect, or the shortcut is pointing to a different location than where you placed the game. I wonder why yours is so large? Mine is only 11.6 gigs. The launcher is just looking at what you've got and making the determination it needs something.

Try making a new shortcut or checking the properties carefully to insure they're correctly going to the right path.
