Trying to get WC3 to work with wine.

[Lakjin]

Okay so I installed both Warcraft III and the expansion onto ubuntu, into the wine c drive thing and tried running with wine. but it just...freezes thats all.

after doing a lot of research i see that maybe i have to run it with "opengl"?

i keep seeing this:
wine Warcraft3.exe -opengl

over and over but i have no idea where to put it...i tried in terminal but thats doing nothing

It finally hit me to run it as sudo but i ran into another problem
lakjin@lakjin-laptop:~$ sudo wine war3.exe --opengl
[sudo] password for lakjin:
wine: /home/lakjin/.wine is not owned by you

then i read up on how i should never run wine as sudo =X
so then i did sudo rm -rf ~/.wine && winecfg

and here i am. so what do i do now? How can i get this to work? Should i reinstall wc3 onto ubuntu (it got deleted somehow during this process)? Or is it possible to run wc3 from my /host/program files folder since i already have it installed on vista? thx!

Thx!

Update: I read somewhere that the ingame movies dont work, so i deleted the movies folder. wc3 loads up, but 1) its REALLY REALY slow and 2) it keeps flashing back and worth from wc3 to the desktop...

Yes, you need to reinstall. The ~/.wine directory is where all of your installed applications go by default. Running wine with sudo is insecure and messes up your .wine directory permissions.

You need to run Warcraft with

wine "C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\war3.exe" -opengl

Just like that in terminal.

[Lakjin]

wine "/home/lakjin/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Warcraft III/war3.exe" --opengl

isnt that the same thing? i already tried that.
