Blizzard eliminating D3 instance loading

Blizzard recently changed the way you can launch D3, by returning an error code 1 when you attempt to run the diabloiii.exe. So far it's for only the Asia region, but may soon be for the others. When I inquired about it in the technical blizzard forums, I was told that blizzard would only support launching the game from battle.net from now on and wouldn't fix whatever they did to break it. I don't see any other way the issboxer software can be used to launch the program now.

Have you tried using the launcher, as indicated in the setup instructions?

I believe the reference was in fact to use the "Diablo III Launcher" game profile (i.e. Battle.net), so it loads up Battle.net, you click Play, battle.net closes (you do have to set to Exit Completely when the game is launched), and the next Battle.net starts up.

Oh, thanks. I misunderstood. I'll give that a try and let you know how it works.

Wow, now I feel like an idiot. That worked great, launching through battle.net. Thanks so much. Should I delete my post since the issue is resolved or leave it up?
