HOWTO: Starcraft 2 in WINE
I just finished the last of the testing on starcraft 2 (and the last patch testing)
as of right now, starcraft II is kinda usable, and I hope it will also be usable in the future when the real game comes out.
So, lets begin...
Firstly, you will need to download the game from blizzard (you have to have a beta invite to do so)
After downloading, place the file (or zip)(I dont remember what format it came in)
on the desktop. Extract it if necessary.
NOTE: the following instructions assumes the installer is named Installer.exe (in my case it is)
NOTE: Ive only tested this on the dev versions of wine, not the stable releases.
go to the "libraries" tab.
enter in the box "mmdevapi"
find it in the "existing overrides" list, and click on it.
click edit and set to diabled.
go to the audio tab, and select alsa if you havent done so already.
navigate to where you put the starcraft installer, and
using that output, identify the starcraft installer file (should end in .exe)
replace "starcraft_installer" with the starcraft installer file
Code:
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_starcraft/ wine starcraft_installer
While its applying the patches, ignore the error boxes that come up, their redundant and dont mean anything.
tada!
p.s. starcraft 2 doesnt work in windowd mode. still workin on that.
p.p.s. Ive omitted part of the howto becasue of some blurryness on the CoC. The full howto is avalible here: http://www.carleedolphinaura.co.cc/software/starcraft-ii-wings-of-liberty-wineii-wings-of-liberty-wine/
Re: HOWTO: Starcraft 2 in WINE

Re: HOWTO: Starcraft 2 in WINE
Didn't work with wine-1.1.38 (latest in fedora repos)
Seems like A LOT of work to compile the latest wine development version.
