Warcraft III won't run anymore

Post by flomperdomper »

I have been running Debian Testing for at least 6 months now and up until about a month ago, Warcraft III ran fine. Now it keeps giving me an error about msvcr80.dll. I have that dll in the warcraft directory. Also, I have compiz start up at logon, but even if I replace it with kwin, the same error still comes up so it's not compiz. I checked glxinfo and the correct driver is installed working. My video card is a built-in Nvidia GeForce 7050.

Here's the error that comes up:
err:module:attach_process_dlls "MSVCR80.dll" failed to initialize, aborting
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"Z:\\media\\stuff\\apps\\Warcraft III\\war3.exe" failed, status c0000005

and if it matters here's the output of glxinfo: glxinfo.txt

Edit: I almost forgot to mention that I've purged wine 2 times and reinstalled it and deleted ~/.wine 3 times and still nothing.

Some times that does not work.
You should install msvc2005 runtime to get this dll. The best way is to use winetricks: http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks

I just tried winetricks and it didn't seem to work. I tried vcrun2005 and sp1. I deleted msvcr80 out of the warcraft directory and it said it couldn't find it so aparently the msvc2005 runtime install didn't do anything. I tired using cabextract to pull the dll out of the runtime installer and toss it in the directory and that didn't work. I'm running wine version 1.1.13 if that matters.
