Warcraft III not recognizing

harujai · Post by **harujai** » Sun Apr 05, 2009 10:34 pm

this problem has been plaguing me for the better part of today, and i believe i've exhausted google. Or rather i've reached my maximum effort of trying to figure this out myself.

I am using the newest version of wine ( 1.1.18) and ubuntu 8.10 x64. I've installed wine and warcraft III with no problems; however, when i try to run wc3 it prompts me to insert the CD (which is definitely in the drive). I have manually installed the warcraft 1.23 patch, which did not solve the issue. i was also reading up on the changes in 1.22 and how it relies on Visual C 2005, so i've also installed that which didn't fix my problem either. I'm a little lost, and i am very new to the linux scene. Though i very much desire to make this my permanent home, so any help making the cross would be great.

BTW, I just tested it in gentoo x64 and wine-1.1.18 with version
1.23.6352 and all was well. It did not ask me for a cd and I did not
supply it with one.

Bad video drivers.

So i can further my diagnostic skills, what makes you say that the graphics drivers are bad?

Wrong way to run. Correct way: http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-8d8c06c ... 5c730566e0

What video card and drivers? Reinstall them. If you have compiz (desktop 3d effects) enabled - disable it.

Radeon 3650 As far as drivers go, i'm a bit confused on that at this point due to a long story. How might i check what drivers are currently enabled?

Ask your distro forum.

Okay, i have fixed my graphics driver issue. I think, although i am still having issues running WC3 with the same CD prompt. This is my new terminal output

harujai@harujai-desktop:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Warcraft III$ wine 'Frozen Throne.exe' -opengl
fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on AK5370 , disabling mixer
fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on HDA ATI HDMI, disabling mixer

I've also run it without the -opengl with the same output

Create a fresh wine prefix and install wc3 with only vcrun2005 and no
other native dlls.

Although I do have my cd handy on my desk here at home I have not
needed to use it to play wc3 in a very long time (more than 1 year
possibly). It does not ask for the cd with the patch 1.21 I believe. I
just get my patches from clicking on battlenet and it is automatically
downloaded.

Mission accomplished. In addition to the other things, i found a new thread suggesting removing the Movies folder, which finally put the nail in. Now though, the graphics are really chuggy and slow. So i suppose my graphics issues aren't completely fixed.

using -opengl made them go from white blobs to what they're supposed to be. Just at about 5 FPS. I'm using the opensource ubuntu drivers atm, but am debating trying to get the ati drivers working. Not sure which would be easier to fix.

My advice:
Spend $30 USA get a nvidia 8400 GS use that with wine and the graphics
problems will go away. The root of the problem is ATI and Intel
graphics drivers for linux are not complete and lacking in their
opengl implementation.

The opensource drivers for ATI and even nVidia are even worse than
their closed source counterparts especially in terms of performance.
