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

what version of ubuntu are you using?? and version of wine and playonlinux. also what is the video card?

im using 8.04 with nvidia 8800gt and in wine works perfect, except there is a TABBING issue, and hosting. but apart from those, i can play perfect, and infact it runs better than it did on windows.
