Well, I've reinstalled Slackware after somehow messing up something. Everything is relatively fresh now. I gave up trying to get Warcraft working properly with Wine, so I decided to give Cedega a try.
I downloaded the full version of Cedega I could find (5.1), and I was prompted to upgrade a bunch of things. Sounded good so far, so I followed all the little prompts for updates.
Cedega then ran all of its tests, to see if my computer could do 3d acceleration, etc. Still everything well.
Warcraft installed great. The opening movie was fine, then I get to the title screen, and everything is blank. I could hear the game playing, but I couldn't see anything.
hm...i have no experience with Cedega nor Warcraft3
just guessing here, 2 things.
1st: are you really sure your card supports that game? (sorry, had to ask)
2nd: why no resolutions on your xorg.conf? Your DefaultDepth 24, then it's empty, why?
I have many on mine since i run a 1024x768 desktop, run fuhquake at 800x600 and starcraft, doom2 at 640x480.
check it out:
Yes, the card works with the game. I got a little further with wine, however in wine I couldn't get ladder games working. So I figured I'd try Cedega.
Cedega, nothing is working right. I tried adding in the Modes lines above, and I still get nothing. This time, however, I get no sound, either, and have to restart X to get out of it.
ok. I've been toying with it again, pouring over the internet, reinstaling Slack over and over, and now I'm stuck. Not sure if I'm any closer, but this is what's happening now.
After the splash screen, I get a blank screen, and the game is frozen. Looking at the console, this is what is displayed.
Code:
wine: Unhandled exception, starting debugger...

(this repeats quite a bit more)
Any more thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
hmm..the only reason I got Cedega was because ladder games in Wine weren't working. If they got them working now, then I'm ditching Cedega, and going back to wine.
This is the only Win game that I still play. As such, in order to do the full switch over, it's very important I get this one working.
Hey, well it's got gold and even platinum status ... it must work in wine. Maybe you didn't set up your video card properly ... might wanna check the sticky on 3D accel.
