Hey guys,
I've only just recently installed ubuntu (removed the resource eating vista ultimate) and was quick to install my favourate game, warcraft 3 (i wanted to see how dota runs :) lol) Anyway, found out i had to install a window emulator etc. downloaded and installed both wine and playonlinux. Installed warcraft 3 + expansaion through playonlinux and tried to play except when i got into the home screen, it was all horrible, i got an error message but i couldnt read it because of the graphics. I dont think its a problem to do with my hardware considering it ran fine on windows vista.
when i ran wc3, my terminal:
Running Warcraft III : The Frozen Throne
preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-60000000
preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-60000000

ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-60000000
Since i thought it was because of the graphics, i changed the 'directdrawrenderer' option in playonlinux from opengl to and gdi and vice versa but it made no difference.
Any help will be greatly appreciated;
Phil
