HOWTO
Running Warcraft 3 under Wine

by Jesse Allen; the3dfxdude at gmail com

small updates by Jasmine Iwanek

Last updated 2008-07-11

Before you get started

This HOWTO only lists information specific to this app. Please keep comments and test reports brief. Please don't post copies of wine logs here! If you have trouble, see other ways of getting help.

Wine+Warcraft 3 Status as of Wine 1.0.0/1.1.1

Known Problems

  • D3D8: Direct 3D mode is slow on anything but the lowest settings.
  • FreeBSD: could work on version 6.2 or later, but problematic
  • quartz: Divx movies have poor playback performance.
  • opengl: Resolution bugs, window management bugs. Losing focus will crash the game.

Minimum Requirements

  • Video card and driver that supports hardware based acceleration with OpenGL.
  • Correct device node permissions to your audio, video, and cdrom.
  • winecfg: A drive letter for your cdrom, and running as Win2k, XP or later.
  • A REAL COPY OF THE GAME -- The game probably won't work right if you don't have a real copy.
  • Linux kernel 2.6 with NTPL or FreeBSD kernel 6.2 (preferably 7) or later.

Recommended Requirements

  • Warcraft 3 1.21b or later
  • Wine 0.9.18 - 0.9.45. If using later wine, you must patch it--see below.
  • Linux kernel 2.6.17+ or FreeBSD kernel 6.2+

**Bad Versions**

Even with patch 1.21b, it's recommended to not use these versions of software because they break the SecuRom copy protection (ie "Please insert disc"):
  • Linux vanilla x86-64 kernel: 2.6.9-2.6.15, and versions less than 2.6
  • Wine compiled with GCC 4.0.0-4.0.2
  • Native msvcrt.dll
  • Nvidia video driver compiled against mismatched X11 header files
  • Fedora Core 6 kernel package less than 2.6.18-1.2784.fc6, and kernel package "kernel.x86_64 2.6.20-1.2933.fc6".
  • FreeBSD

Additionally, FreeBSD kernels less than 6.2 might not work with current versions of Wine at all.

Installing the Game

To default the game to use OpenGL, see the registry import below. This creates HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\Warcraft III with new DWORD value called "Gfx OpenGL" with the value set to 1. So you may create a file using the text, or use regedit to do the same.

When the game's installed, everything should run as expected.

After installing the game, its highly recommended that you browse to your Warcraft III folder and rename the movies folder. Many people crash from the movies because of buggy sound drivers, or simply hang, so you should do this in case you are one of them. You can still play the movies under mplayer (or xine if you so choose)! TutorialIn.mpq is the very first cinematic of the game, and for the rest; *Op.mpq is the cinematic at the start of the campaign and *Ed.mpq is the cinematic and the end. If you wanted to follow the story, it's not hard at all to play the ones corresponding where you are at.

Running the Game

Use the shortcuts created by the game found in your launcher menus.

Multiplayer Setup

Make sure you have the correct ports open. Open outbound and inbound, TCP and UDP, port 6112, or whatever you set in the game configuration. More Network Ports

If you try to play using the Local Area Network option, and do not see a game hosted from your machine on another or vice versa, and you are in the same subnet, this is likely caused by not having a default gateway. The game relies on sending UDP packets to the broadcast address and Linux will not send them unless there is a default gateway or another rule to handle them. To fix it, there are two methods:

Add a default gateway.
- OR -
Route 255. 255. 255. 255 to your local network.

See Wine Traffic #62 for another description of the issue. This is not considered a bug.

Mouse Automatic Edge Scrolling

When running windowed, if you move the cursor out of the screen and back again, sometimes it stays as the scrolling cursor and not the pointer cursor. Hover the mouse over a unit or building to fix the cursor. This is an oversight in the game itself and not a bug in Wine. Use mouse grab or full screen mode to bypass this problem. You may also disable automatic scrolling and use the middle mouse button or the directional keys (non-keypad) for manual scrolling.

 
Warning

ALT-KEY COMBO WARNING

Window managers often have the alt key bound to certain features, especially the alt-click. THIS IS NOT A WINE BUG. If you have problems with the alt key in any way DO NOT REPORT IT. Fix your window manager. I'm not going to list steps for every one because there are too many possibilites. Figure out yourself or ask in a help forum (here is okay... but be warned all I use is TWM). If you are desperate, turn off window manager managed windows in winecfg.

KDE

Go into KDE Control Center, expand Desktop, click window behavior, then click window actions tab. You can turn off the alt-combos. If you want to make window specific settings, click on window specific settings under window behavior on the side.

GNOME

The option to change the key binding is in System Menu -> Preferences Menu -> Windows.

Email me at the address found at the top of the HOWTO if you want this list added to.

 
HOWTO: Blizzard Downloader

you need a native mshtml.dll and wininet.dll from ie6sp1 in ~/.wine/drive_c/system32

dont forget to set them as native in winecfg

Game broken: Mission won't start
by Thomas Benn on Friday October 2nd 2009, 1:07
Hi there,

I can't play WCIII because I am stuck after Mission 5 of the humans. That is the one where Arthas defends Hearthglen for some 20 minutes. Right after winning this mission there are two little in game videos. After the last one I am kicked back to the list of missions. No big deal really. But when I click on mission 6, the screen just goes black and nothing happens.

Any ideas what I could do about that?

Videos
by Thomas Benn on Sunday September 13th 2009, 14:13
Howdie

I can't get the videos to work. After setting winecfg so that it WON'T allow the application to control the windows they at least play.. just without sound...
The game itself has sound just fine.

How to I get the sound for my videos?

Speed game keeps changing to fast.
by Tomáš Hnyk on Friday September 11th 2009, 6:08
My comment about this topis has been deleted some time ago, but I tried warcrad under Wine after several years and the issue still exists.
Warcraft works perfectly, but the gamespeed keeps changing to fast. No matter how many times I set "slow" or "normal", it always changes to fast by itself after a minute or so. I tried it under a new user, so it is unlikely something wrong with my wine install causes this. If anybody has the same problem or has a solution, I would appreciate it, I cannot solve some rougher missions at fast.

ROC freezes computer IMMIDIATELY upon clicking of "Battle.net"
by igor on Wednesday May 6th 2009, 1:34
Note that this is distinct from the battle.net login crash.

I had the intel video driver problem with jaunty (I described it in TFT forum) but reverted to intrepid's video driver and now Warcraft 3 has a manageable frame-rate. However, whereas before I could log onto battle.net with my frame-rate ridiculously slow, now the moment I click on the "Battle.net" button my whole system freezes. The sound keeps playing, but everything else is frozen (keyboard[can't toggle caps/num locks]/mouse/screen etc.). Obviously I cannot access the console at this point to report a message. Otherwise the title screen looks good and I can play the single player campaign.

Has anyone else had this problem, or is this bug reported anywhere? Any help would be rad,
thanks

Warcraft III saving game progress
by Ursan Marius Bogdan on Saturday April 18th 2009, 3:32
In my test results i did forget to add something:

if i try so save the game works, but the issue is to try to override the save that caused the crash. So either you play the game without saving or if you do save something, try to save the progress in a different name(e.g. save1, save2, and so on)

My apologies for the small error !

Saved Game Crash
by Jaymes on Saturday December 20th 2008, 1:26
Saving a game randomly works.

I was able to go three-four level into the gaming saving periodically, but I got to the 2nd or 3rd human campaign level and saved just after the story clip which crashed the game and corrupted the save file :(

Anyone have similar problems?

100% CPU usage
by Jean-Noel on Monday January 7th 2008, 6:40
Hello, I am using Wine 0.9.52, vanilla kernel 2.6.23.9, nvidia drivers 100.14.19, on a 64 bit AMD Athlon64 3200+ (Gentoo Linux). My card is a GeForce 7600GT.

I can run Warcraft 3 perfectly well and with excellent speed, everything works but the war3 process takes 100% of CPU (looked up via htop for example). I am not sure this is normal as the GPU should be doing most of the work and my computer, if not breaking new, is fairly decent).

Going to 100% CPU usage is annoying, as the fans then start to run at max speed and it makes a lot of noise.

I was wondering what was your CPU usage for you guys, and if it could be a configuration problem on my part.

Another problem I have that may or may not be linked to this is that I must quit almost all applications (Firefox etc) before playing a game of War3. Else sometimes the sound will stutter (I guess it's buffer underruns), rendering the game unplayable (I am using ALSA). Note that this seems to happen randomly (eg, after 10 minutes of play for example), but it never happens if I shut down my other programs before playing.

War3 freezes when saving.
by luke on Monday December 31st 2007, 19:21
Whenever I try saving, the cd rom spins up, and then the game freezes with "saving game" still displayed. I only run into this if I let the game run a long time before saving, which I assume would mean that it will only crash after the cd that was spinning from when I launched the game stops, but I can't verify that yet. It's somewhat sporadic. The save itself is apparently corrupted in the process.

Freezes during load screen into a game.
by Bob on Friday December 28th 2007, 20:27
Hi I get to the loader bar before a game then it gets to 4/5th of the way and freezes.

I found a sight that seemed to say that I need to do something with the Wine registry to get OpenGL running with that game,
But I don't know what.

It would seem that I'm supposed to enter (("Gfx OpenGL"=dword:00000001)) somewhere,
But I don't get it yet.

I am quite new at this.

So any help would be much apresheated.

Locate CD-ROM?
by Bob on Sunday December 16th 2007, 17:25
ON...
Fedora 8 x86 32Bit.
Using a Nvidia Geforce FX 5200 PCI card with direct rendering running.

The install worked fine,
But trying to run from any location gives this error...
CD-ROM drive error.
Warcraft III was unable to locate your CD-ROM drive.
Pleas make sure your Warcraft III disc is in your CD-ROM drive, then click on Retry'.

I know that that drive has a drive letter and the CD is in it.

Do I need to do something to Wine registry or something.

Gamma problem
by Ian on Wednesday October 17th 2007, 8:20
There seems to be a problem with the gamma setting in warcraft3.
Cut-scenes and the menus are correct but the game itself is unplayably
bright. When a menu is selected the gamma seems to be correctly applied.
The gamma setting in the options appears not to work in the game.
Possibly related to bug 10057.
The suggestion to Disable xvidmode via the registry did not make any
difference.
This is the case in wine 0.9.45 and 0.9.47.
(Ubuntu 7.04, intel gma950/i945)

This image shows the problem
i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc136/idan_04/gamma_prob_1.png
And the graphics seem fine when a menu is selected

Ubuntu 7.04, games didn't complete loading in campaign, can't sign on to battle.net at all. When you click the battle.net button it hangs at contacting the server. Also campaign maps didn't seem to complete loading. Downgraded to .45 and it's working again. The issue began immediately after installing .46. No other changes were made on the system.

Warcraft III - The Frozen Throne, Sound laags
by Florian Finke on Monday February 19th 2007, 12:25
Installation works fine on all used distributions(Kubuntu/Ubuntu) and wine versions >= 0.9.21.

With wine 0.9.30 the sound was fine (only small delay) but sometimes without any reason (really when I did nothing, not eaven mooved the mouse) the game crashes and after 1-3 minutes close without failure message.

With wine 0.9.31 it seems not to crash (yet) but the sound is really bad (delayed, repeated, sometimes totaly stuck) though everything else work smooth.

To fix it there might help the sound option (not listed nigther in the --help output nor on the man page?)

Dsound has trouble with the movies
by David Vanderson on Wednesday December 13th 2006, 14:19
I kept getting Dsound errors that were crashing Warcraft III until I removed the cinematic movies. You can try this by renaming the "Movies" directory in the Warcraft III directory to something else.

This made the game work, but of course you don't get to see the movies.

LinuxKernal: Linux-386 2.6.15.24

I applied the opengl patch, not so sure if its working right or not, so I am using:
wine "C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\Warcraft III.exe" -opengl

When i run that i get the cdrom cannot be found dialog. not sure what else to do besides download the loader and patched .exe's but I really would like to get it to work from my cdrom. If you need anymore information just let me know and i'll see what i can do.

The installation ran flawlessly, i was quite impressed however.

KDE and alt key
by James Choa on Saturday September 2nd 2006, 20:27
I know full well that the alt key thing is window manager related but the problem is that i've been searching practically everywhere for a solution to this but to no avail (please dnt ask me to google again, i've been doing that for about a week). As a last resort, I decided to ask here how to get this fixed in KDE. I'm running Gentoo 2.6.17-r7 with KDE version 3.5.2. Hope I don't irritate anyone but I finally ended up resorting to asking here... Thanks

Cannot Host Games...
by Fredrik Stagling on Saturday September 2nd 2006, 15:49
Hey,
I can't host games in b.net. It's not an issue with the router, as it's correctly set-up and it works fine in windows. Is this an issue with wine, and if so are there any solutions?

Alsa and OSS
by Jean-Noel on Friday July 28th 2006, 12:06
I finally managed to install the OSS drivers of Wine. with these sound is perfect and no crashes occur. So, without ALSA, this game is almost perfect under wine.

This would be nice if they could get the ALSA bugs sorted out and fixed though.

Maybe 0.9.18 fixes these (haven't tried yet) ?

Add to the HOWTO?
by Fredrik Stagling on Thursday July 20th 2006, 7:02
I think you should add information about how to make the ALT-key work properly if you are using GNOME.

Desktop -> Preferences -> Windows

The window behaviour can be changed from there.

Can't detect location?
by Fredrik Stagling on Monday July 3rd 2006, 3:24
It seems as though WC3 with wine is incapable of detecting one's location. When I, atleast, press Enter Chat, b.net shoves me into one of the "Frozen Throne AUS"-channels, instead of the "SWE" ones. Probably because it's the first in the list?

Warcraft ROC crashes after ~1 hr. gameplay
by Gian Paolo Mureddu on Friday June 9th 2006, 2:39
I just noticed this. Warcraft ROC crashes about an hour of gameplay. I can't capture the console output as I run fullscreen and the only noticeable symptom seems to be that the screen suddenly locks, and the game simply starts looping sound... I'm not sure what the matter could be, but I'll have to investgate as I found a corrupted file on the same partition the game is running from, sothat might be it. Still I post this to see whether anyone has seen this issue.

Can't use numlock keys twice
by Jens Trinh on Saturday May 27th 2006, 12:14
As the topic already says, I can't use the numlock keys twice. They are the hotkeys for items in Warcraft 3. If you have used for example num7 once, it won't work anymore for the rest of the game.

Screen resolution
by Carlos Véliz on Friday May 12th 2006, 10:31
Hi, i hope anybody can help me about this; when i try to change the resolution of the game it crashes, i know this is a known bug, but i'm pretty sure there must be some file i need to edit manually to do the same thing, does anybody know where i can find it?
Right now i'm using a modified script for accesing battlenet (well not battlenet but a different server instead) and it changes back the resolution of X to that of my desktop when i exit wc3, but it's a little slow and it messes up my wallpaper (maybe i'm a little picky here :P)

Alt key problems
by Carlos Véliz on Wednesday May 3rd 2006, 16:16
Hi, i've got a problem when playing warcraft, as you should know the Alt key + click on the map is used to make a shinning mark, it is very useful when playing dota; but when i do it in linux nothing appears on screen and if i hold the mouse button i can move the entire screen. It's very annoying and it keeps me from playing in linux :s
I hope anybody can help me to change this behaviour.

Odd Graphical Distortion
by Alien II on Friday April 14th 2006, 8:16
Hey, i was trying to see what i can do to make the audio problems not be as bad, and ever since i changed something in winecfg in audio tab, which i've since set back to the defaults, warcraft 3 has a graphical distortion.... However, I tested GTA: Vice City, and it also had a similar distortion so i'm thinking it's something more to do with wine, just weird such a thing would happen messing around with _AUDIO_ settings.. a sample of what it looks like can be seen here:

Network difficulties
by Nigel MacPherson on Tuesday March 28th 2006, 21:48
I just installed Fedora Core 5 and compiled wine 0.9.2 for it from source (only an old version because I just use it to play WCIII and it's the only version I've found that can actually run it). Well...no problems with running the app, but it can't connect to Battle.Net. It says that I'm not connected or something like that, but I know for sure that I am connected to a network with internet. I've made sure that my iptables is configured to be permissive in letting stuff out. In Fedora Core 4, it just worked. Any suggestions, people?!

Battle.Net Difficulites
by Nigel MacPherson on Wednesday March 22nd 2006, 19:36
Does anyone know if the custom and/or arranged team games on Battle.Net actually work with WCIII on wine? On mine, it sits with the buttons greyed out like it's trying to do something until it loses the connection to the Battle.Net server. I saw the bug with invalid games, but the person I'm trying to play doesn't have a firewall blocking WCIII, and I, on Fedora Core 4, don't know if a) I need to somehow allow wine a special network connection, and b) I have no clue how to. The random 1v1 game works great. Some help here would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

With latest cvs/git (somwhere after 0.9.9 ), if I disable virtual desktop in winecfg, Frozen Trone.exe or Warcraft III.exe freeze directly after the resolution switch and before they display anything (besides the splash screen). If i execute war3.exe directly it works.

Running from a .ISO?
by Nigel MacPherson on Thursday March 9th 2006, 16:19
I've a Fedora Core 4 computer that Warcraft III works on just fine (absolutely no complaints there) with the CDROM in the CD drive, but I tried to run it from a .iso copy of the Warcraft III CD that's mounted in my '/media/warcraft3' folder, but I can't figure out how to get Warcraft to recognize it and run from it. Using the winecfg utility, I've set it up so that the mount point is in the correct location (and set to type "cd-rom"), but it won't recognize it. I've tried two different mount points and neither works. It just pops up the annoying "Please insert CDROM into drive" message. Some help here would be great! Thanks!

workaround for glxmakecurrent badmatch x error and freeze on start (sound problem)
by Jan Zerebecki on Tuesday March 7th 2006, 4:45
To work around the the glxmakecurrent badmatch x error disable double buffering (untick the value in winecfg, graphics tab). (I used the virtual desktop feature of wine, maybe that is necessary, too.)

If your Warcraft freezes on startup it is likely a sound problem. To disable sound put the following keys in the registry in HKCU in the dir
[Software\\Blizzard Entertainment\\Warcraft III\\Sound]
"donotusewaveout"=dword:00000000
"music"=dword:00000000
"sfx"=dword:00000000

No go even with the demo
by F. Delente on Saturday February 25th 2006, 5:18
Hello all.

I use Wine-0.9.8 from CVS, on a Slackware 10.1 with Xorg 6.8.2 and Nvidia drivers 1.0.8174 on a PCI-Express 6600GT.

When I try to start Warcraft patched to 1.20c and a no-cd, nothing works: the screen changes resolution, then it comes up garbled.

I tried the demo to see if it was a patch or copy-protection problem, and I got the same results; furthermore, if I start it without the -opengl switch, it complains about the CD not being in the drive!

See you.

Copy protection problems and native mscvrt.dll
by John M. Drescher on Monday December 5th 2005, 9:20
I just wanted to say that I kept getting the cd not found error with the latest cvs (12-4-2005) and Wine 20050930. I thought the problem was that copy protection was not working again but it turns out that it was the native mavcrt.dll I was using caused this error. With my native dll installed warcraft would not start complainging that it could not find the cd. Switching off the dll override and I do not get this error. Warcraft starts fine and (after I removed the movies folder) it runs. The problem is now that I have the builtin msvcrt (downgraded to 20050930) I get bug 2075 so I can not play a campaign unless I create an Campaigns.w3p file on windows or patch wine.

I WAS ASTONISHED
by Daniel Akerud on Monday November 21st 2005, 16:18
WOW.
The strangest thing just happened.

I have been playing wc3 for several years now (win32), and I am constanly trying to improve my framerate. I have a quite old computer now, so to get my mouse as responsive as possible i always lower my resolution to 800x600x16, lower all the details, etc etc.
I WAS ASTONISHED WHEN I saw that Wine (-opengl, nvidia binary drivers) ran EXTREMELY mush faster. I can easliy have 1024x768x32 MAX DETAIL and get really high framerate. I don't know what causes this. I have tried -opengl on Win32 too, and didn't notice any difference.

Early X-mas for me.
Thank you Wine developers, you are the greatest :]

Well.. maybe it's not exactly a bug.... but still! :)
by Pete on Friday November 18th 2005, 23:22
I realized it's not a bug per-say... in winecfg, the "autodetect" feature calls my cdrom (i.e. /mnt/cdrom0 and /mnt/cdrom1) a hard drive.

What I have to do is first autodetect my disks... then "show advanced" for all cd-roms and change media type to "CD-ROM"...

I personally dont think it's very intuitive... some warning should be posted to make sure you do that methinks.

In any case, it still works so I 'aint complaining.

Error Loading DLLs
by Jeremy Coleman on Wednesday November 9th 2005, 15:18
I really don't know what is causing this, but hopefully someone can help. I have this problem with most every game I've tried with the latest cvswine.

Games are unable to load there DLLs from that they need. For warcraft 3 the problem is as follows.

Unable to Load game.dll which is needed by war3.exe

The game runs fine if I run it with wine 0.9 or cedega, but for some reason cvswine can't find the files it needs. I also have this problem with NFSU Demo(d3d9.dll) and Warhammer DoW Demo (spd3d9.dll).
