Im wondering if Warcraft 3 tft works with Wine/Cedega on Ubuntu without any flaws/problems.

I have installed Warcraft 3 ROC but there seems to be a problem. I can start warcraft but when i try to change resolution (default is 800x600 16 bit :-? ) it quits to desktop. I use cedega 4.3.1 and the Ati fglrx drivers (those work fine in Doom3). Any suggestions?

Edit: It works now, you must start with warcraft III.exe --opengl

when i try to install wc3:tft it cant find my original install of wc3 and it wont/cant install. how do i get wc3:tft to see my wc3 install? anyone else had this prob? any help would be greatly appriciated.

You need to edit your registry to point to your wc3 install. Edit user.reg in your wine/transgaming config directory and put in something like this:

[Software\\Blizzard Entertainment\\Warcraft III] 1115591174
"InstallPath"="D:\\games\\war3"

can you be a little more discriptive?

for example is: "D:\\games\\war3" how do i find out my exact Warcraft III install location under p2p/cedega?

and is: "[Software\\Blizzard Entertainment\\Warcraft III] 1115591174" correct? how can i verify that that is in fact the structure in my file system? and what are the numbers after and do they matter at all?

i know these are quite a few questions and i really appriciate your input by far the most promising answer ive com accrost so far. :grin:

The install path is the location where your game is installed. The home directory is set for D:\\ by default in cedega, fill in the path for your install, my directory was just an example. You probably have it installed in C:\\Program Files\Warcraft III or something. That should be enough information for frozen throne to find your copy.

[Software\\Blizzard Entertainment\\Warcraft III]
Is the registry key that wc3 uses. You need that. I am not sure what the numbers are, I think you can ignore those. What you have to have in user.reg is:

[Software\\Blizzard Entertainment\\Warcraft III]
"InstallPath"="Path to game directory"

I hope that clears it up.

i added:

[Software\\Blizzard Entertainment\\Warcraft III]
"InstallPath"="C:\\Program Files\Warcraft III"

with no success :-)

is there some process to installing that im not following? or am i just sol?

[gil-galad]

hmmm, is it installed in C:\\Program Files\Warcraft III ? Have you tried reinstalling the original warcraft III?

You can pm me if you need to.

Warcraft III is really the only game I play at the moment. I know all about running it in linux ;-)

Warcraft III works well with cedega 4.4 and -opengl. Can also play LAN games with windows machines. :smile:

But will it work conntecting to battle.net??

That's the only reason to play once you've done the campaign game...

love doing that with friends over, so glad I've eliminated all reasons to boot into windows.

Help!
I'm new to Ubuntu Linux, I sucessfully installed Warcraft III using WINE/CEDEGA. But the problem is that...when I start Warcraft, it's very slow and even the mouse is almost not moving...Is there any configuration needed so that I can play with Warcraft III - Frozen Throne smoothly? Thanks
