Starcraft/Warcraft 3 cursor lag

[iamsmrt]

I'm experiencing some pretty bad mouse lag in warcraft 3/starcraft that make the games pretty difficult to play. I have an Intel 945G integrated graphics card, 1.5 gb ram and a 1.3 ghz dual core processor. I also play Counter-Strike 1.6 without any laggy mouse issues.

I'm running both with similar bash scripts:

Code: Select all

# Wine binary                                                                 
CDLOADER_WINE="wine"

# Game directory                                                              
GAMEDIR="$HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Warcraft III"

cd "$GAMEDIR"

$CDLOADER_WINE "Frozen Throne.exe" -opengl

My 3D acceleration seems to be working:

Code: Select all

brian@brian-laptop:~$ glxinfo | grep rendering
direct rendering: Yes

This post seems to have fixed my SC mouse lag problem but my wc3 mouse problem still exists.

Do you mean the hardware cursor doesn't work? I know this is normal for OpenGL...maybe it would help to look at this guide:

I don't/can't use OpenGL, so I don't have any experience with this exactly, and I know this guide is for World of Warcraft, but it looks like most of the important steps are to wine in general, not World of Warcraft. If it is indeed a hardware cursor issue, then I'd give it a shot.

I should've mentioned that I use Arch Linux, I don't think I can use the deb file that it creates .

I've found an AUR package for wine with the applied patch (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33974). However, I installed it and don't see any notable difference in performance .
