Can't find CD when running Starcraft

[heylookitsjerry]

Wine 20050419

I can't get the game to load starcraft because it cant find my CD. Do I have to load my CD-ROMs into the 'dosdevices' drive? If, so how do I do this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi heylookitsjerry

Sorry to grave-dig, but I'm having this problem also. I tried adding "unhide" as specified in that link but I still get the same error message even after rebooting.

BTW the demo worked great under just WINE, surprisingly enough.

You need to make sure the cd is mounted, and your drive is setup corectly in wine. There is a tool you can download in synaptic for wine setup. I think it's called winesetup or something like that. I have gotten the game to work, but it seems to run a bit slowly. Something that helps a little with that, is to kill your window manager. Anybody have any more ideas as to how we can speed it up any more?

I ended up using a no-CD hack, and even then I needed the CD in to play. Odd, no? It worked, in any case.

I also got the occasional stuttering frame-rates in both the game and demo. Shutting down background programs didn't seem to help. Considering the minimum requirements for the game is a Pentium 90, I doubt it's an issue of CPU or resource useage.

Anywho, I got bored with putting up with the stammering gameplay and nuked it. I'd rather play it on my Win2k laptop I think.

you don't need a nocd hack, those can be a pain if they update it, all you have to do is rune wincfg, and goto the devices or drives tab, then autodetect, you may need to reboot wine.. not really sure but that will work
