Warcraft 3 and Cedega

Crobat · 02-26-2007, 09:20 PM

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.

not sure what to post, so here's my xorg.conf:

Code:

I have DRI enabled, using an intel 915 chipset (laptop). I have no idea what to even start trying.

If you guys could help me, I would be forever greatful, and you'll all get cookies or somethin.

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:

Code:

 SubSection     "Display"
        Viewport    0 0
        Depth       24
        Modes       "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection

Hope it helps, use search on other distro forums too: ubuntu, gentoo, etc in case it's game related
good luck

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.

H_TeXMeX_H · 02-27-2007, 02:04 PM

I think Cedega is even worse than wine ... way more unstable ... only upside is a bit better DirectX support (but soon that too may change).

I would add screen resolutions and monitor frequencies in 'xorg.conf' if you know them. It may help.

Crobat · 03-06-2007, 09:54 PM

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...
000b:: Bad stuff: client ignore setting select events for 0x90077444 to 1
000b:: Bad stuff: client ignore setting select events for 0x90077444 to 1

000b:: Bad stuff: client ignore setting select events for 0x90077444 to 1
000b:: Bad stuff: client ignore setting select events for 0x90077444 to 1
(this repeats quite a bit more)

Any more thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

Doesn't Cedega offer a support forum? They took your money, they should be able to answer your questions.

H_TeXMeX_H · 03-06-2007, 10:01 PM

You sure it isn't a problem with wine / Cedega ?

I remember wine used to give me lots of unhandled exceptions ... none of them were distro-specific.

Crobat · 03-06-2007, 10:09 PM

hmm..I'll try knocking on the Cedega forums again, but they don't seem very responsive lately.

Jeiku · 03-06-2007, 10:19 PM

Hi,

First of all - there's no need to reinstall Slackware when a program doesn't work!

When you couldn't get it working with wine, what were the problems? Logs? Judging by http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=897 it looks like warcraft 3 works fine in wine.

It's more likely a problem with your video card or something.. hmmm

Do any other games work with wine? Try testing out something a little less graphics dependent maybe.

Crobat · 03-06-2007, 10:32 PM

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.

H_TeXMeX_H · 03-07-2007, 12:00 AM

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.

Crobat · 03-07-2007, 10:28 PM

All right. Double checked with the newest wine version. Warcraft still freezes when you do a ladder game.
