Hi, You should probably edit your wine config file in .wine/config (if you have one) to run war3.exe in a window. This will possibly allow you to view any traceback information. The other thing is that you should make sure that you are running Warcraft 3 in OpenGL. The command is: wine war3.exe -opengl I hope that this helps. --Tim
Hi all,
I recently compiled wine-20050419, and decided to give Warcraft 3 a try. The game installed nicely but crashed at runtime, freezing my computer. I had to hard-reboot the box to recover. Unfortunately, i am unable to give any trace or log, because each time i launch Warcraft it hangs, leaving me with no alternative but rebooting the system.
On the other hand, the world editor works more or less : i can't see the menu bar above the map entry, but i can play with the landscape elements and build a map.
I also managed to play "Starcraft" and "Atomic Bomberman", which don't make use of opengl, so it sounds like my installation is correct.
Running Warcraft with or without "-opengl", in managed or desktop mode, as root or normal user, with any windows version (from win98 up to winxp) amounts to the same crash.
My config is:
- kernel 2.4.26 running on a k6-2 500MHz.
- xorg server 6.8.1
- GeForce 4 MX440 with latest NVidia drivers (1.7174)
Everything compiled locally with gcc 3.3.4.
Any (little) help is more than welcomed!
regards, Seb.
