WarCraft 3 + wine(version-20040408) Doesn't install. (Help?)

VladP12

Anybody get WarCraft3 working under wine v-20040408?
Cause when i try to install it it gives me a wierd message b4 it launches the install.exe file.

i can't say what it is because it's a bunch of ? marks (And because my War3 is Russian Version)
But it says this
?????? ?????? ?? start!

Anybody have any ideas on how to lauch it?

I looked at the website frankscorner.org for instrucions but what he did was on wine version 20030813
So can some1 help me out?

perhaps you should try the --opengl option.

wine install.exe --opengl doesn't even start the App just says that
it shows this

vlad@singer cd $ wine install.exe -opengl
Warning: the --debugmsg option is deprecated. You should use
the WINEDEBUG environment variable instead, like this:

WINEDEBUG=-all wine ...

Unknown option '-opengl'

Wine 20040408

Usage: wine [options] [--] program_name [arguments]
The -- has to be used if you specify arguments (of the program)

Options:
--debugmsg name Turn debugging-messages on or off
--help,-h Show this help message
--version,-v Display the Wine version
vlad@singer cd $

So any ideas now?

I think warcraft is Direct3D, not opengl. You should try winex.

wine probably don't support direct3d.so your game will never work.

For your problem, i don't know.

warcraft works fine using opengl, the problem does not lie with warcraft, it lies with wine.

problem is the wine devs have a strange addiction to breaking things, if you get something working under wine, you should mage an image of your hdd before upgrading wine, id say it is a 1 in 3 chance that your progrs wont work anymore;).

so just hang back and wait for the next wine release:)

warcraft does run in wine. I play it every once in a while.

I am getting the same error and it's my first attempt at putting together wc3 and wine so I thought it was just me. Well, my hope has gone out the window. So, are we saying that the current version of wine does not play wc3?
