Kudos to the developers! The main reason I run Wine is to play games, and Starcraft is one of my favorites. Due to a number of changing variables in my system, Starcraft quit working, got some kind of a font.gid error. Couldn't figure out how to fix it; thought maybe it had something to do with the WinME native installation, so I changed the default load order to use the builtins before native. And then Starcraft worked again! I think its amazing that one could play such an awesome game and not need the Windows installation! I suppose I next need to figure out which native DLLs my other games need in order to work. Since I'm not counting on 3D acceleration working yet (having problems with DRI, anyway), Red Alert 2 will probably be the next candidate. -- Michael Bain

The specific loadorder instructions override the default. Use -debugmsg +loaddll to find what Wine really is loading. Gerard

I realise the battle.net interface is graphically messed up, but the keyboard interface still works normally. I cannot make starcraft join battle.net games... Bernhard
