[1.2]StarCraft 2 - Very Slow On Good Computer? Hi, Using Wine 1.2 Final on Ubuntu 10.04 32bit. When running game "StarCraft 2", the game is very slow? My specs are as follows: O.S.: Ubuntu 10.04 32bit CPU: Intel Core2Quad 2.4GHz 4 core CPU RAM: 4GB DDR2 Graphics Card: nVidia GeForce 8400GS (nVidia 195.36.24 graphic driver) Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE Any ideas?

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 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'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

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)

out of curiosity, i ran war2 BNE. the same thing happened as in starcraft: keyboard would not work. it didnt give me any error messages or anything, so I cant really put any of that up here. hmm. any ideas?

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

My nephew was home last night and I couldn't play Starcraft with him because selecting UDP or IPX LAN games no longer works. When they're selected, a message box appears saying: Unable to initialize network provider I had the same issue in 0.9.11, 0.9.12, 0.9.13. I was able to play multiplayer LAN games previously, but I'm unable to say what version I was using at that time. I first

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

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

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.

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.

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

Hello everyone! I downloaded CodeWeavers wine the other week and had it up and running in the instant of a sec. So, I mounted my Cd and installed StarCraft with no problems (except all this jibbrisch about missing fonts). Happy as a newborn daddy I started it up, and noticed that since I couldn't fill in a userid for playing, I couldn't play. it turned out that all my keyboard pressing

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 can't seem to get IPX going in Starcraft. It gives me "Unable to initialize network provider" in a pretty dialog box (as per usual). I have IPX in kernel, the interface configured for 802.2 frame type, and some IPX RIP/SAP daemon going. The kernel's IPX is configured without the "Full internal IPX network" thing. Apparently (from my reading) this would be a bad

ok I've got Starcraft loaded in wine...works fine ;-) I have IPX installed within the kernel.. and have the following commandline.. modprobe ne2k-pci ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up route add -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0 ipx_interface add -p eth0 802.3 0x12345678 but it seems that Starcraft cant see the IPX thingo..err anyone know how to get starcraft to

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
