--- Comment #81 from wonder world wonder75@gmail.com 2008-07-01 10:26:03 --- Blizzards new patch that came out today seems to have changed something. At least it's working for me now with wine 1.0.1. I've been able to play 2 battle.net games which lasted about 15 minutes each.
The bad thing is, the auto-update of the Blizzard-Patch breaks many installations, even on windows. WC3 didn't start anymore asking for the correct CD after updating to 1.22.
Installing MS C++ 2005 SP1 fixes this problem: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/thankyou.aspx?familyId=200b2fd9-ae1a-4a14...
Hope that longer games work too, need to test though.....
