wine users - Apr 2009 - ERROR: Couldnt Load Game.dll

Hello 

Well I turned on my computer one day and then turned on Warcraft III. I went to
B.Net and it started uploading a patch automatically. When it finished it said
restart Warcraft III. So I got out of Wc3 and got back in, but before I could it
came up with :Couldnt Load Game.dll. I then reinstalled Wc3 and still same
effect. Then I didnt go in B.Net and found out that if I dont download the
update and exit then re-enter it doesn't say ERROR: Couldnt Load Game.dll.

Plz help I wanna play Wc3 again using B.Net.  :( 

Thanks in advance.

More than once I got corruption in WoW. Somewhere in wow there is an utility to
repair install. Be warned that in my experience it didn't work well, but you
can try. In the end, I had a working copy of a wow install which just copied
over the broken install.

You might actually want to look for help in specialised wow forums. It's not
necessarily a Wine problem.

WC3, not WoW.

Try deleting your Wineprefix (.wine by default, you will lose all apps
installed in Wine...) and reinstalling Warcraft. Downlaod the patch
from blizzard's site, install it manually and try again...

Ensure that you follow the HOWTO on appdb to get the game running in
OpenGL mode.. (IIRC the latest revision of the patch no longer
requires that visual c++ runtimes)
