Alright so I can't get this bad boy to work. The first problem I'm having is the fact the graphics are really messed up and the second is there is a lot of lag.
my specs are:

Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 867 624 242 0 7 299
-/+ buffers/cache: 317 549

There is a screen shot of what it looks like when i open it up.< 1f40 /div>

sorry, I didn't mean to confuse you. No, it's where my WC3 is installed. /media/Arnesthas is my mounted XP partition.

So Instead of /media/Arnesthas, you would be under ~/.wine/drive_c and so on.

Do you have desktop effects enabled?

Have you tried making a launcher (or running it from the terminal as something like...

wine /Anydirectory/andsoon/war3.exe -opengl

Because without OpenGL... it will be screwy.

I didn't I disabled those bad boys in hope it would up the speed a bit... (Is it normal for me to be useing so much RAM when i only have firefox up? )

Hmmm... I know firefox uses a lot of RAM on MS OSes, but it's on MS.

My Ubuntu FF eats up about 40 megs...

I don't know for some reason when I try to run
/home/samerious/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Warcraft III/war3.exe -opengl
in the terminal it says
/home/samerious/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Warcraft III
No such file or directory

As this is the Beginner forums...

Have you tried

"~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Warcraft III/war3.exe" -opengl

Note the quotations, as Linux doesn't like spaces...

Or you could make a symlink and follow that to cut the Directory name...

Should I put my name somewhere in that command?
Symlink , I have no idea what or how.

Oh, sorry.

~/ is short for your home directory, which is /home/samerious

You can make a symlink by using the command ln -s [source] [destination]


BUT I have WC3 working without any linking, and I wouldn't really advise it.

You could read the wikipedia article on symlinks, I don't think I'd be great at explaining it in simple terms....



The exact command I us 1f40 e to run WC3 is

wine "/media/Arnesthas/Program Files/Warcraft III/Warcraft III.exe" -opengl

is media a folder you have WC III installed under?

Alright thanks! Appralently i just had to chose a server should have chcecked those few things first before i freaked out XD...

Oh dear...

I haven't done that yet, but WC3x is supposedly a platinum under wine, so it SHOULD work, in theory...

...wait... just did it, but it kicks me off, 'cause I have a no-cd patch in. Just make sure to choose the right region and so on.


Have fun ;P


Oh, if you haven't already, you can make a launcher for it. If you don't know how, I'll tell you. I'm feeling philanthropic.

Awesome that totally worked now we got the route files finally fixed lets see if the open GL does the trick! AWESOME! It did... Much Appreciated...

Rofl onto the next problem! Connecting to Battle net.

First... underscores are NOT spaces.
My favorite method for doing spaces would be...

The backslash forces Linux to interpret the space literally.

so run


After that... I don't know.

Ok for some reason it doesn't want to register my Program Files Folder... I ran different commands up until so ~/.wine/drive_c told me it was a valid directory but
~/.wine/drive_c/Program_Files/ says its not a directory ... I also tried "~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files" same result Not a file or directory...
