Just a bit of a "me too" here: warcraft3 segfaults under wine if you
try
this (start with cracked ver to get around copy protection, then move
the orig binary back "underneath" so that the battle.net CRC (or
whatever) check works...but as soon as I move the orig binary over the
cracked one, wine segfaults...
Unfort. only solution I've found is to use winex; but I'd love a way
around this (yes I paid for the game, but it takes 20 secs to start with
winex and only 3 with wine).
------------------------------------------------------------
I dont know if it works with diablo 2 but you could do it as described
here
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

for me it works. The script is pretty easy,
my one looks so
cd '/home/seelenfeuer/.wine/c/Program
Files/War3'</small></small><!--

i think this is quite clever ;) But maybe the described version is better.
