wine users - Oct 2010 - Starcraft 2 Cannot create game.

Hello All,

I am in the process of going fully to Linux from Windows. I have everything set
up and working great and I love it. I have been playing WoW via WINE and it runs
flawlessly. I did not reinstall it I just went over to the windows harddrive
that I have not gotten rid of yet and used that install.

I decided to do a 1v1 SC2 match with my buddy and I set up the same things in
WINE for SC2 as the app DB says and used the Windows install just like WoW.

The game loaded up fine did a system scan of my setitngs and chose Ultra based
off of my hard ware.

The only problem is when I click multiplayer and then create game.

I can see the list of maps, but when I select one there is no picture of it in
the little window that shows the map and the button to actually create the game
after selecting a map is greyed out. All the other buttons function properly
except for that one so I cannot actually start a game.

Also the single player works great.

SC2 runs really well in wine.  That suggests to me that your issue is
running SC2 from a Windows NTFS partition.  This isn't very well
supported for various reasons.  Try copying your SC2 install from
Windows to Linux partition (or, ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/) and
creating new icons.

Good luck!
