    PlayOnLinux and Starcraft

    I thought this best fit here if not well just move it .

    Anyways I have just tried Starcraft with PlayOnLinux and for me it installed easier and on single player was a lot better then just normal wine.
    Although for b.net I couldn't even get on it .
    I know others have,even the wine team has used this program for Starcraft.So can someone tell me what wine version to use with PlayOnLinux?I would really like to go full time with Linux .

    can you run it through terminal and see what errors it generates when you try battlenet. Right now we have very little to work with.

    How would I go about doing this?
    I don't usually use terminal to run programs .

    Code:
    wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Starcraft/StarCraft.exe
