Whoever it is that is wanting to update the HOWTO for the Diablo 2
appdb please email me. I don't have my email address on there for
nothing. For whatever reason, I can't see who changes things nor does
the appdb email me on changes anymore.
Quote from new HOWTO note.

What about a checklist of problems it doesn't have, and basing the rating on
that.
Something like:
Installation:
(_) Installs correctly.
(_) No installation nessecary to run.
(_) Preinstalled on Windows.
(x) Doesn't install.
[_] Works without an unofficially patched Wine.

Exactly, we need some logic to ensure ratings are correct. I think the

You keep forgetting that unlike windows Linux
You really expect people to have to read HOWTOs?
Windows users certainly don't expect to, why should Wine users?
Agreed, we can't attract a serious user base and offer it as a viable
alternative to Windows if it requires a howto to get working. It should just
work. Windows users trying out li
