Last night I installed Wine, and well I had to install Warcraft III and Starcraft truly the only reason in the world I needed a Windows box. They played so perfectly and at the resolutions I wanted that now my transformation is complete. I'm 100% Linux and I hope never to return to the dark side.

So what other games have you tried in wine and what are the results.....I tried Halo and it didn't work out so hot.....

are you just wondering what games are playable?

Have you seen this database on wine's website?

I have been a huge WoW-o-holic in the past, but I was strong enough to say stop before it took my life down the drain :popcorn:

CS sources just plain rocks with wine, it starts within seconds and i have no lag at all with a really good graphic rendering.
Wine devs are doing a great job !

Warcraft 3 does play well on Wine. I found I had better results though, when I installed on Windows and copied the files.

At first sound was giving me crap, but then I set the HW acceleration to Full in winecfg and it runs just as well as on Windows..even the big battle scenes :)

Awww, I feel for you. You install Linux so there is no chance to get back into WoW, only to find out that it works perfectly in Linux! Sorry man!:(
