Getting old versions of wine?
Getting old versions of wine?
Hi, i used to play Warcraft 3 on wine very well years ago and recently decided to give it another go, only to find that it won't work with recent versions of wine. I think this is sad beyond words, but its not my project.
I come here to ask some guidance in getting an old version of wine. My googling reveals that 0.9.10 is the one i should get. I use Ubuntu 7.10 and i can try to compile from source (how to get that old source?) but there must be a .deb package around from when 0.9.10 was the latest.
Thank you.

Interesting. Personally i get a black screen at start. I renamed the Movies and i run with -opengl. If i run with -window i get a black window instead of a black screen. There are countless forum threads about this problem, and not one has a solution. There also seems to be a problem connecting to battle.net, but i haven't made it that far yet. When i played it some time ago i could do everything, battlenet, and even run it in directx mode for laughs!
My wine version is 0.9.58. I installed warcraft and the expansion from original CDs, and the latest official patch removed the cd-check, so there is not even a crack involved. My last ditch effort was going to be reverting to an old wine version. Now i am out of ideas, and would appreciate any help.
Other 3d games work, other wine games work, i am not even running compiz or anything that might unsettle the system. Please help me make this work.

I renamed .wine, created a new one with wineprefixcreate, installed and now it works! I had to rename the movies still, but battle.net works without any further changes.
I should have tried this on my own, but because of my early (2005) successes with wine i had assumed i would never have to reinstall the windows stuff, since i would just carry my /home around as i changed system.
A great thank you to all that helped.
