similar to: Starcraft install won't run

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

Starcraft 2 is the new next Blizzard RTS game. It's going to be released later this year, but the beta is coming soon. It will probably work nicely with Wine. Just like every other Blizzard game is working. Still it would be nice, if we'd get perfect support for it. It would be great if we would be able to fix all problems on the beta stage and then the final game would work perfectly on

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,

Well, I found this bug with WINE's folder dialog returning something that the StarCraft beta downloader does not expect. So no matter what folder I chose to save the game in it said "Invalid path chosen! Please choose again." But I can't report it in a useful manner because the beta downloader should not be legally shared. But I was able to bypass this bug by modifying the

I am sending you this email because of an incident which threatens the very existance of Samba. Earlier today, the bnetd project was shut down to the DMCA. Since bnetd is alot like Samba, I figured you would be interested. Bnetd is a server that pretends to be a battle.net server (starcraft multiplayer). This server was created by reverse engineering the communcations protocol, just like Samba

I have installed Diablo 1 lately and found Wine can't load the game succesfully. I see a few frames of Blizzard's intro, then it freezes. With Cedega 4.0 it works pretty well> I played for a couple hours then found later I can't load my games back. Ain't that funny? It seems to be a menu problem. Another thing I noticed with Cedega is, multiplayer hangs really quick.

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

Information you may need: my distro is Linux Mint 12 Gnome I am not dual booting with windows, I only have linux on this computer Alright so the description for this problem is quite lengthy. Basically I set out to do something very simple in Linux. I wanted to install wine to be able to run starcraft 2. So the first thing I did was go to software manager. The latest version of wine I could have

Hey everybody, relatively new Linux and Wine user here, and I'm having some issues with Starcraft 2. I'm able to download Starcraft 2 just fine. My issues are with the patches. Once I try to start up Starcraft, it goes to the patching window as it normally does in Windows. However, after a couple of seconds, the window just closes. I've tried running the Blizzard Updater.exe, but

When I attempt to install Starcraft 2 I receive the following message: "Sorry, the installer was unable to start up. No installer data could be found. If this problem persists, please contact Blizzard Technical Support." OS: Ubuntu 10.04.1 (garnered from "cat /etc/issue") Wine Version: 1.3.11 Starcraft 2: Retail, CD. I let the automated systems take care of the update for

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'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)

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

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:
