Warcraft 3 - opengl command in wine

[the_purulent]

I got wc3tft to install perfectly fine under wine. When I launch the game it loads properly, I see the intro video and then I get a blank black screen.

I've read the using the -opengl switch may help. I am just unsure how to add it to my launcher command.

could someone give me the command to launch a game in wine with full opengl suport?

I think it should look like this (I'm not using wine myself).

wine "/blah/blah/blah/XXXXXXXXXXXXX.exe" -opengl

Well, had I known it was as simple as all that I'd have had it working by now. :)
I guess I just assumed there would be more commands or options I would need to enter.
Thanks!

I can confirm it works; the -opengl switch made a world of difference. Where it barely ran before, it now performs just as well my native windows box. In fact, it might very well be bias, but it seems that applications with an opengl mode seem to look better than they do in directx mode, even in windows.

Wine: 1.1.22
ATI Driver Version (did not work until I updated): 8.1.85 (part of catalyst version 9.3)
launcher format (just the default with -opengl tacked onto the end):

env WINEPREFIX="/home/<yourname>/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\Frozen Throne.exe" -opengl
