Does starcraft work on arm64?

I read here that you support arm64 in wine, is it supported in the latest source code? just curious, and more importantly would the gameplay be any good. ?

  • No. See: Github: AndreRH/hangover. This is required to do a hybrid emulation and translation of Windows x86 binaries on Arm64.
  • No. It's very early days yet!
Take a look at the recent WineConf (2018) talk by, the Wine on Arm Developers, Stefan Dösinger and André Hentschel.

Essentially you want to temper your expectations down! Way down! :lol:

Okay, well glad you replied, That is a shame... Oh well. AMD64 probably is better for such purposes I suppose.

I know I am going to regret asking this, but how long do you think it will be, before there are wine versions for RISC-V?

I mean once laptops start building with risc-v processors in it.

Do you think it will take more time than arm64 to support even if it reaches the same amount of users as arm64. I am asking because of future considerations for getting a new laptop, and I want one that is using a secure architecture and can run certain games. Although, I am guessing its gonna be a crawl to support it either way due to it being so new. I might be wrong though.

Even if it is an open source processor. ;)
