Run it in OpenGL mode. Follow the HOWTO on the AppDb. (You might want
to clean your WINEPREFIX (~/.wine by default) if you tried other DLL
overrides / wine-doors, etc)
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... n&iId=3126
Cleaning a .wine directory:
http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-82f00d0 ... 0f82e84cd8
(it deletes everything you installed in Wine)

A much older Wine (0.9.45) / a patch to the Wine source code is needed
if you want to host LAN games due to a regression. Joining LAN games
work fine.
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9787

If you have Intel graphics, you probably need to run it at the lowest
graphics setting. (I have a X3100, except for a few minor glitches it
works fine, but it is slow. OpenGL mode is needed though)

The HOWTO in the AppdDb mentions a command line switch that you can
add to the shortcut, and a registry entry to set it to OpenGL mode.
Both methods work.

What graphics card do you have?

You can get into Registry Editor with "wine regedit" on the command-line

I need to Clean the .wine directory?

Only if you set DLL overrides and want to get rid of them.

I think OpenGL might fix it for you.

The How to just tells how to install the warcraft right? I think that I instaled him in the same way of the How to

And how to set certain settings.

A registry file that would set OpenGL mode: (Copy and paste the 4
lines from REGEDIT4 to a .reg file and import it into regedit). I'll
try to attach the file as well, don't know if it will work.

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\Warcraft III]
"Gfx OpenGL"=dword:00000001

Hi, I dont get it how to set the opengl mode in the registry, and I dont find the HOW TO in the link, they said "To default the game to use OpenGL, see the registry import below." but the "registry import below" doesnt exist. I need to copy this to a reg file and then import?

os just this?

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\Warcraft III]
"Gfx OpenGL"=dword:00000001

sorry for this questions, but I dont know what I am doing.
So I add -opengl to the command line:
env WINEPREFIX="/home/gabriel/.wine" wine "C:\Arquivos de programas\Warcraft III\Frozen Throne.exe" -opengl
And I run the game, the lag disapear but the image stay bug just like the image that I post here.
My video card is a ATIX1950, and I am running the driver from ubuntu: "ATI/AMD FGLRX"
A funny thing is that only the menu is buged, the game was ok, I play a little and I have no found bugs, just the menu still bug

My attachment did not work... I pasted the relevant part below. (The
attachment.bin link should download the file as well, it would need to
be renamed though)

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310516 should give you background on .reg files.

The effect is the same as the -opengl parameter, except that it works,
even if you cannot directly add parameters (Using a launcher for an
unofficial battle.net server is one example)

Some ATI drivers versions have major issues with Wine. I do not know
much more about their issues though...

Strange... You can try setting the graphics lower and see if that has
an effect... (The menu works fine on my Intel onboard graphics...)
(Intel drivers seem to have eve more problems than ATI, but it is
probably a different set of problems, rather than a superset of ATI's
problems...)

Sorry for the late. I will try this tomorrow, but the game seems to be fine I just need to know how play with garena, the warcraft won't start in garena. This seems to be a bug, I read sominthing in the wine site about this.
