Hi all, I recently compiled wine-20050419, and decided to give Warcraft 3 a try. The game installed nicely but crashed at runtime, freezing my computer. I had to hard-reboot the box to recover. Unfortunately, i am unable to give any trace or log, because each time i launch Warcraft it hangs, leaving me with no alternative but rebooting the system. On the other hand, the world editor works more or less : i can't see the menu bar above the map entry, but i can play with the landscape elements and build a map. I also managed to play "Starcraft" and "Atomic Bomberman", which don't make use of opengl, so it sounds like my installation is correct. Running Warcraft with or without "-opengl", in managed or desktop mode, as root or normal user, with any windows version (from win98 up to winxp) amounts to the same crash. My config is: - kernel 2.4.26 running on a k6-2 500MHz. - xorg server 6.8.1 - GeForce 4 MX440 with latest NVidia drivers (1.7174) Everything compiled locally with gcc 3.3.4. Any (little) help is more than welcomed! regards, Seb.

I launch Warcraft with the opengl switch, and i tried both the managed and desktop (aka windowed) mode, but in any cases, it freezes my system, and i have to reboot... Seb.
