Wine/Starcraft problem.

Genesis · 06-22-2003, 11:46 AM

Hey again guys. I installed WINE and then Starcarft but when I run starcraft there is no sound. Is this a common issue when running SC with WINE?

Hi. I can't answer your question... but let me ask you one. How did you get WINE running? I've tried and I can't. It was for my friend so I can't tell you what errors etc it would give me... Did you use WINETools?

I downloaded the source for WINE. And followed the instructions. I'm on Slackware Linux 9. That might make a difference.

Ah. I see. and no.. lol I'm just a fan of Miyamoto's work. Did you use WINETools at all? I couldn't get my friend's binary installation of WINE working. Any suggestions? He's got Mandrake 9.1.

I have never used WINETools. I am a Linux noob myself. I've been on Linux for a week I am probably not the best person to ask.

OK you're right. Gomen (means sorry in Japanese. I watch alotta subtitled anime) ^_^

Try recompiling it, but first take a look at the configure script options with ./configure --help. May be there you will find an answer. BTW what version are you using? I use WINE 20030508, but in my case the problem is related to the keyboard, I cannot get any input from it, all goes to the console (or none at all if run SC from a launcer in desktop)

Read through the WINE documentation. Since I used Wine and I removed it last month, I don't remember how I enable sound. In starcraft, you do not really need sound. You will have trouble accessing battlenet.

If you have atleast 512 megabytes of memory, you can try VMware. I use VMware for Windows programs, some games, and testing software. VMware

Theres Bochs that is similar like VMware. Bochs emulates the hardware instead of emulating software like WINE does. Bochs is free and VMware is commericalized.

Lets see how much of a SC player you really are
I found your problem, you're trying to play StarCraft-I'm sure you meant Total Annihilation, which is obviously far superior, so let's see if switching games vastly improves the performance

Have the same problem with sound (just going to try recompilling wine as you suggested). And had the same prob with kbd.
I discovered that my keyboard got focus and works OK (while wine started from desktop) when switched to other Xwindow and back to SC again.
Or simply try to set DirectX wine switch to N (I don't remember the exact option name for now). I am using wmaker as window manager.

I found that more current wine versions do not exhibit the problem (at least on my system), and I have wine and WineX (bought a license) coexisting nicely, I don't know if this has to do with anything, but as of right now, it works just fine.
