Warcraft 3 and Wine


This is my first time using Wine so I decided to try out Warcraft 3. I went into the CD and typed "wine install.exe" and it brought up a Warcraft 3 screen that said Windows 95 was detected and that it didn't support Windows 95. Anyone know how to fix this?

If u are using red hat 9 or fedora, dont even bother trying any further, it wont work, get Cedega CVS from transgaming themselves (not very easy) or u can get precompiled versions from this place... http://www003.portalis.it/115/tb43hf...4jreoihde.html . If u are using a distro OTHER THEN THE ONES MENTIONED, type this command:
wine --winver winxp setup.exe (try other win versions like, winme, win98, and win2000, and winnt) HOPE THIS HELPS!

Nah I'm on Slackware 10.0. Wonder why RH9 and Fedora won't work though... Anyway yea I know about WineX/Cedega. I've used it before and gotten this to work. I'm just wanting to try Wine out to see how good it does in comparison. I tried what you said and got this.

Code:
wine: cannot find '--winver'
I'm using Wine 20040615 by the way.

Whatever programs you're trying to run are, running Notepad will take significantly less resources than running Call Of Duty would, but you can check out the FAQ here.

There's no reason WINE shouldn't work on RH9 or Fedora, why would they make RPMs for WINE if it didn't?

And as far as running WC3, I'd recommend using Win XP as your winversion, I've always ran it like that, and its never given me any problems. If the auto-patch update doesn't work, try manually installing the patch, gl hf!

I'm GT_Onizuka on Azeroth if you ever want to play btw

Similar Win Ver Issue Resolution

Hey I had a similar issue installing games with wine. It turned out that even though I change the ver in the config file to win98 I forgot to take out the semicolon in front of that.

[Version]
; Windows version to imitate (win95,win98,winme,nt351,nt40,win2k,winxp,win2k3,win20,win30,win31)
"Windows" = "win98"
; DOS version to imitate
;"DOS" = "6.22"

; Be careful here, wrong DllOverrides settings have the potential
; to pretty much kill your setup.

That's what mine is set up as. Also make sure the config is in /home/username/.wine/
or whatever your installed wine directory is.

peace.

wine isnt made to run games as such
it doesnt support directX
it can only run directdraw, direct3d and openGL
to play all the latest EA games such as mohaa, swg and so on, u need wineX
but the problem is, you need to pay for it...linux and money?!?! thats crazy talk!!!
the solution is, buy another machine, slap windows on it, play your games from there
or duel boot.

Yea I kinda just gave up on Wine... WineX works a lot better. There is a native version of MOHAA just so you know though.
