I currently managed to get wine to run Starcraft. However, it seems to run very slow. I have a 700mhz processor and a 32mb GeForce2 MX so I'm pretty sure that my system is capable of handling the game. What can I do to accelerate the game or any other programs in general?

I'm having a little trouble with trying to install newer versions of Starcraft (updates or Brood War) on a win-free Wine installation. I can run the installer off the original Starcraft CD, and it puts all of the files in the right place, adds a couple registry entries, and then chokes on creating the entries in the Start Menu. Still, I can kill the process at that point, and I have a usable

I have used Starcraft under wine for a long time, and I have just learned to put up with random crashes. The only version of wine I have gotten to work is ancient (991212)! I have tried more recent versions, but I haven't been able to get them running at all. Is there a wine that doesn't crash randomly running starcraft? What wine do you use for starcraft? (BTW, there seems to be a

Ok... here's my big problem with the nVidia drivers. Ever since I upgraded to 0.9-6 DGA mode with Starcraft has been broken!, and now with the 0.9-767 drivers Starcraft has refused to work AT ALL. If I replace the drivers back to the 0.9-5 (which are dreadfully unstable with SMP) Starcraft works fine. Any resolution, any color depth. With 0.9-6 I have to run Starcraft at 8-bit depth, else

I got Starcraft and Warcraft 3 working without a CD Crack using wine. The trick is a link in the ~/.wine/dosdevices directory to your mounted CD-Rom directory with the name: "d:" for example if you starcraft CD is mounted in /media/STARCRAFT then enter the following commands: cd ~/.wine/dosdevices ln -s /media/STARCRAFT d: Don't connect the the Battle.net. Starcraft will crash

I'm sorry if this is a re-post - I switched news servers and it's not showing up on the new one. Here goes: I'm trying to run Starcraft fullscreen using xinit: xinit /usr/bin/wine ./starcraft.exe -- /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 -screen Starcraft This runs SC in full-screen mode, no window manager, a separate X server, DGA-enabled, the whole 9 yards. Starcraft starts and looks great.

hi everyone. i've just compiled and configured wine and tried to play starcraft. but when i start it nothing happens. i mean really nothing. here's the poor output of wine, hopefully it says something to you guys: fixme:console:SetConsoleCtrlHandler (0x4cf850,1) - no error checking or testing yet fixme:ddraw:Main_DirectDraw_SetCooperativeLevel (0x403b39a8)->(00020021,00000013)

Hey everybody, I tried Googling specific problems with this but could not find any. I was working under wine1.3.4 when Starcraft II was in 1.1.1, but after successfully installing the patch 1.1.2 (for Starcraft II that is), I am unable to start the game, and it officially complains about DirectX not being installed. However, that's not true as we all know... The terminal output is as follows:

I have installed StarCraft succesfully, but the screen resolution is only 600x480, how do I change it to 1024x768? I have tried to write: wine --desktop 1024x768 starcraft.exe but that makes the area available 1024x768 inside a 600x480 resolution! Sincerely Jesper

I am running Debian Etch with kernel 2.7.11, I install wine 0.9.21 through the Ubuntu source with apt since there isn't one for Debian all I did to get wine was apt-get install wine installation went well with no error, but when I do this as $ wine /path/to/starcraft.exe &> /tmp/wine-starcraft.log X crashes, and what is below is what's in wine-starcraft.log

starcraft is a game ive enjoyed for a long time and last time i played it was on windows. now im trying it on ubuntu feisty, with wine installed. starcraft installed amazingly fast, but when i started it up, its as if the computer was giving no visual output, and the monitor itself gave me an error message. basicly i could still hear the starcraft music in the background, but i couldnt see a

Hi there I've been using latest (development, 1.1.25) wine on hardy some time ago, but now I am on Jaunty and I have encountered some problems. Wine is up to date, although. First was the trouble with graphics, but thanks to this topic it was solved. Next problem is the reason for this topic creation. When I'm launching Starcraft, connect to battle.net and then quit Starcraft, gnome

Well heres the story.. I decided to install the newest version of wine (20010326 I believe) I am running wine on a linux partition, and have configured everything according to the various HOWTOS and FAQ's and other pieces of Documentation I have read. Starcraft & Starcraft Broodwar installed with no incident whatsoever. There is one problem however, when I try and install the patch to

Allright, I'm at my wits end here. About 6 months ago I had starcraft working perfectly under wine. Couldn't tell the difference between it and running natively under windows. Anyway, between now and then I've reinstalled and updated drivers, etc and I can't get wine to work for the life of me (Recent version too) When I had it working I was using a script to start a second X

I'm having a problem with the directdraw opengl renderer and StarCraft on wine 0.9.49. When I run starcraft with the opengl renderer, only 1x1 pixel is displayed stretched to full screen size. The other settings have no effect, (Other than RenderTargetLockMode = readtext, if I leave this at default StarCraft crashes, but this is known about). I've updated my graphics drivers to the

hey guys I finally got starcraft working (only took about two hrs, not bad) anyways I've played though it a bit and I get the first cinematic but I'm dropped back to X with this message "Starcraft was unable to open a required file, if the problem persists reinstall blah blah blah" the thing is it's trying to open PreTerran_1.smk in the smk folder.......but I don't have

Hello. I have Fedora 16 and wine-1.3.36. I installed starcraft broodwar with out problems. Then i started game and created local network game it was ok. When the game starts i can go in menu and click with mouse everywhere changing options and preferences, but when i make any click on the map or the unit the game just go out... So any click in game after it starts - cause to starcraft die.

I've tried everything i can think of and looked and tried a ton of hints on the page for it. http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=149 Under "Starcraft is soooooo sloowwwwww (that's me)" Posted up my log and everything. I tried updates, wine updates, registry changes, switched from opengl to the default, back and forth. There are times starcraft

I know, Starcraft has been covered much, but I still cannot make starcraft complete its installation. The installation halts while adding shortcuts to the start menu. As someone (Ove I believe) mentioned, Starcraft adds certain registry keys after creating shortcuts, requiring the installation to continue. I have modified wineshelllink in order to gain some insight: #!/bin/sh echo "$@"
