Hello! Currently I am trying to install Starcraft + Broodwar on Ubuntu 11.04 using wine 1.3.15-0ubuntu5 (wine1.3). My future aim is to get it running well, and to be able to connect to a LAN with several Windows 7 PCs via TCP/IP (somehow IPX does not work for them) BUT: I am stuck at the very beginning: I installed starcraft on wine's C:Programs/ etc ... but no matter if I want to play it, OR install broodwar, there is no CD found! In wine-settings "D:" is /media/cdrom. Is this correct? I hope someone can help me with this little project...
Using this site http://www.hermann-uwe.de/taxonomy/term/2047 I managed to have Starcraft running on wine without using the CD. But as soon as I try to install Broodwar, the programm does not seem to recognize the Broodwar CD ... What can I do? Is this an issue with wine? On windows - PC, the same CD is recognized without problems ...
Blizzard has a patch that you need to work without cd In my case it was BW-1161.exe. You can download this patch at blizzard.com: http://eu.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?locale=de_DE&articleId=22757&pageNumber=1&searchQuery=patch Cheers! Alex
