starcraft 2 crashes after 3.0 patch update

Post by cclauson »

Starcraft 2 used to work fine for me, but after the 3.0 update Blizzard recently released it now crashes. I can log in to the main battle.net UI with no problems, but when I click "Start" for SC2 I get the message:

An Unexpected Fatal Error Has Occurred

I'm on Fedora 21 and using wine 1.7.39, does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed?

Thanks

Your Wine version is old, so start by upgrading. If the problem persists, post terminal output.

Thanks for the reply.

I tried updating wine, but this did not solve it.

I did, however, find a post on a different forum about this same problem, the solution is to change the settings for SC2 to 32 bit in the battle.net client.
