Newer 1.5 and 1.6 releases don't work by thatguy on Tuesday June 18th 2013, 22:27 The newer 1.5 and 1.6 releases don't work (at least with an Nvidia GPU). Like the reporter below, I get horrible freezing in offline and multiplayer. The game will freeze for a few seconds (anywhere from a second to 10-20 seconds). The Battle.net updater breaks 1.4 and now 1.5 and 1.6 don't work. [post new] [reply to this]

Pausing in HOTS Campaign game by Michael on Saturday April 20th 2013, 18:11 Wine 1.5.28 NVIDIA 313.26 I played through the Wings of Liberty campaign a year ago without any problem. Performance was normal. I just loaded HOTS and the first few missions had pauses that lasted 5 to 10 seconds and then the game would play normally for a few minutes. On the third mission, I get pauses of 5 to 10 seconds every 5 to 10 seconds making the game unplayable. If I load a 1 vs AI game performance is fine so it seems related to just the campaign portion. I've tried setting all graphical settings to low. Doesn't help. Any ideas? [post new] [reply to this]

Blizzard Downloader doesnt do anything by Alexander Nigol on Tuesday April 9th 2013, 22:05 Hey guys, I'm trying to install HotS via the downloader. The Blizzard Launcher lunches fine, does some updating/checking stuff, and I get to the installation splash screen. I select the directory and click install, and nothing happens. The progress stays at 0.0%, and if I click on the options in the top left, the downloader preferences are greyed out. Same for info>connection information. Same sort of problem with D3 installer as well, where the launcher seems to run fine except for the not downloading anything part. [post new] [reply to this]

Massive Performance Boost (Nvidia) by Kellan Pine on Tuesday April 9th 2013, 14:42 I installed the game with no problems, but found it nearly unplayable from low fps. I was running at about 9-18 fps before this fix. Now I'm running at 60 fps consistently. For me, the problem was that wine wasn't causing my nvidia gpu to adjust it's clock speed. To solve this problem, the nvidia driver needs to be set to maximum performance. This can be done in two ways. 1.) Run your Nvidia X Server Settings program and under your GPU (GPU 0 for me) select PowerMizer. You'll see a drop menu at the bottom. By default, it's set to adaptive. Change this to "Prefer Maximum Performance." This setting will only be effective during your current x server session. 2.) Force your driver to always run your GPU at maximum performance. Note that this method will reduce battery life for laptops. To do this open the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf with your text editor of choice. Make sure you do so with root permissions. Under the section titled "Device" you will need to add the following line: Option "RegistryDwords" "PowerMizerEnable=0x1; PerfLevelSrc=0x2222; PowerMizerDefaultAC=0x1" Make sure that there is a space after each semicolon. This is the method that worked to increase my performance. I don't promise the same results to anyone else. If you have an nvidia gpu and are experiencing difficulties with your performance in game then it might be worth a shot. I can only verify that this is a Starcraft 2 problem. I can't confirm whether or not performance will jump in other games. [post new] [reply to this]

Graphics Performance tweak by Azrael on Sunday April 7th 2013, 21:36 Hi guys, Been lurking mostly in this forums for getting SC2 to work. Tried something with excellent results, and thought I'll register and post something that could help! My settings is the same as what stated here. I am using Wine 1.2.3 on Debian Squeeze (probably an outdated dinosaur by now). I would like to suggest that under the Direct3D key in the registry. Add 2 DWORD values: VideoPciDeviceID VideoPciVendorID These are also under the Useful Registry Keys section of the wiki here. Input the ID of both your Device and Vendor. It really helps to improve the performance. I am using i5 and a Nvidia GTX 550 Ti. SC2 initially tells me that my recommended settings are to be low. But after doing this in addition to the other registry key settings, they are now recommended at Extreme =) Hope it helps everyone. =) (Do note that it can run on Extreme, just that during certain battles of 200 supplies the FPS might drop drastically, so I run them on High) [post new] [reply to this]

GLSL support for performance but with lighting bug by John Sun on Monday April 1st 2013, 1:08 hi everyone, I'm using i7-3520M, kernel 3.8.4, Debian Sid, Mesa 8.0.5. I found enabling GLSL support improves my fps, getting around 20 fps during late game with swarm hosts and lots of lings. Without GLSL support, it dropped under 10 and is nearly impossible to micro. However, as dza mentioned before, GLSL support causes lights emitted from scv, tech labs and protoss building in constructions flicker in the whole screen. bugged scvs looks like this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsaEd-dTAlQ Some windows users with ATI cards suffers the same problem, but seems to be able to solve this with driver cleanup/reinstall/update: us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/218522146?page=1 Is it possible it's a bug in the mesa driver? or just the GLSL support of wine?

Getting SC2 to run using open source r600g radeon drivers by Eric on Thursday March 28th 2013, 5:18 I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 13.04, but I used the server install dvd to eliminate some unneeded packages. I ran into problems trying to run SC2 using the free r600g drivers. I got this error while trying to launch SC2: "wine libGL error: failed to load driver: r600" running with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose gave me this: "dlopen /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/r600_dri.so failed" The problem is that we are missing some 32-bit libraries. To solve this problem, run: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch The next problem was missing textures and missing portrait pictures. The problem is that we are missing the 32-bit st3c libraries. To fix this, run: sudo apt-get install libtxc-dxtn-s2tc0:i386 Installing these libraries fixed all my problems! [post new] [reply to this]

StarCraft II suddenly stopped working by Mario Becroft on Wednesday March 27th 2013, 5:46 StarCraft II was working fine on Wine version around 1.5.20 with Nvidia graphics. I upgraded Wine to 1.5.26 and Nvidia driver to 313.26, and now StarCraft II no longer works. Reverting to previous versions now also fails. StartCraft II will begin to load, create a black window filling my screen (which normally contains the loading screen graphic) but it remains black and nothing happens even after several minutes. I also can't even run the installer on a fresh wine prefix. The installer starts to run then hangs forever after the following messages: WINEPREFIX=/mnt/c/.wine wine sc2/SC2-WingsOfLiberty-enSG-Insta ller/Installer.exe wine: created the configuration directory '/mnt/c/.wine' err:winediag:xrandr12_init_modes Broken NVIDIA RandR detected, falling back to R andR 1.0.

FPS is too LOW by jon on Thursday March 7th 2013, 22:37 My computer set up isnt great but in windows I run high without a struggle. In wine I run low at 20fps tops. Quad core , 2.4gthz , 4g ram , ati 6870. I want to post some of my findings for anyone who cares to look into them. 1) My first install I got 20 fps(low settings). After I quit the program and ran again i was getting 10-12. At that time i was running 2xati5750 crossed over so i thought maybe linux , or wine wasnt using them both. So i put in my 6870 and still 10 fps. 2) I tried running in windowed mode to see if that would help with fps and to monitor task manager resources and priorities. It did help with my fps. Back up to 20. My windowed mode was about 1/3 of my full screen. 3) I noticed in my resources that my 4 cores never went above 60% , and my ram never hit 70%. 4) I also noted that in the priority tab , sc.exe was using more than 100% cpu. Strange i thought , since how can you use more then 100% of your cpu. So im thinking , maybe theres an error in programming there where the program thinks its using all the cpu but its not? 5) Another curious thing is that pulse audio priority was set to very high yet everything else was set to normal. Maybe we would get more performance out of tweaking sc.exe to very high? If only i knew how...Im sure one of you will figure it out. 6) Doing some searching on optimizing all of this , I found a comment in this thread about tweaking the registry. I dont remember it all but i typed it all out and tried it. Didnt make a whack of difference in my test environment. I will reply more to this comment if I make any head way.

Very low FPS by Ian on Wednesday March 6th 2013, 17:19 Core i7 950 6GB DDR3 nVidia GeForce GTX 670 Xubuntu 12.04 LTS 64-bit Wine version 1.5.19 through 1.5.25 (tested) I have not been able to get my in-game FPS above 30. Menus seem to be capped at 60 FPS, but when a single player campaign level is running it hovers around 15-20 FPS and never goes above 30. I have tried the various combinations of patches and environment settings as well as the old registry settings listed on this AppDB page. One or two actually decreased performance but none were able to improve it. Given that my system isn't exactly outdated (yet) I should be able to crank it up well past 60 FPS, no? I'd really love to smooth it out before the expansion drops. Thanks in advance for your suggestions. [post new] [reply to this]

sc2 insists on being fullscreen by Kaito on Sunday February 24th 2013, 18:00 Hey, After the last patch, sc2 seems to resize the desktop upon starting in fullscreen mode, even if I fiddle with the values in Variables.txt. Previously, it would run "fullscreen" inside the virtual desktop, and stay there, making it quite convenient to manage in a tiling window manager. Running it in windowed mode draws some windows-y window decorations around the window inside the virtual desktop, which is annoying. Fullscreen (windowed) fails to correctly detect the virtual desktop size, and I end up with empty space on both sides of the game. Any ideas how to force it to stay at the size I want it to stay?

A way to greatly improve performance for Nvidia GPU Users by christian on Sunday January 6th 2013, 6:45 Hi, right now there is a way to greatly improve performance in SC2 if you own an recent Nvidia Card. If your card is capable of using the threading optimizations in the newer Nvidia drivers and your are willing to recompile wine for yourself, try the following: Read the bug: bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11674 beginning comment 260. It gets very interesting there. Apply the patch : bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=42868 And compile wine afterwards. Then start Starcraft the following way: export PATH=/YOURSELFCOMPILEDWINE/bin:$PATH LD_PRELOAD="libpthread.so.0 libGL.so.1" __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 WINEDEBUG=-all wine "Your Starcraft 2 Binary" Its very important to use WINEDEBUG=-all, otherwise the game will perform worse with the patch. Please give it a try and report back your results. [post new] [reply to this]

Goofy graphics on Intel video by SeanP on Friday December 7th 2012, 14:56 I'm using Wine 1.5.18 and I have Intel Graphics on my laptop. I'm running Kubuntu 12.04. I've included a link to a screenshot of the problems I'm having. I have put in the recommended registry edits with no improvement. Is running Starcraft 2 on Wine with Intel graphics just a lost cause?

New Nvidia R310 drivers not working by Stuart on Saturday November 10th 2012, 12:39 I was originally using the latest proprietary Nvidia drivers from nvidia-current, after upgrading the new R310 drivers my system works fine, but Starcraft 2 won't run anymore. (I'm running it through play-on-linux) I get that the application has attempted to load the C runtime library incorrectly and that DirectX failed to initialize. Previously, executing echo 0|sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope would fix the problem, but does no longer work. I'm on Ubuntu 12.10. [post new] [reply to this]

it's solved dude,,,,,, by eugenio on Thursday November 1st 2012, 13:04 fact is , that is a fu***ing wrong return message , so it' useless install other stuff such as direcX and so on .... 99% of the time you get R6034 error in wine is about a miss-understood path ..wine just can't find the right path to the dlls files needed solution : delete files named: system.reg user.reg userdef.reg in yours ./wine/ directory wine will generate 'em again once you run 'winecfg' command ;) [post new] [reply to this]

Flickering, Glitches, Lightning bugs? by dza on Sunday October 7th 2012, 8:24 I'm using mesa 8.0.4 and Intel HD Graphics 3000, wine 32-bit and -opengl and force_s3tc_enable=true It flickers on ground in lighter colors and over the screen in triangles, also sometimes green color is over the screen, it depends on the map and the colors of the map. I will try to take a video. I've never experienced this before, I am not sure if it's caused by an update by mesa or StarCraft 2. Mesa/Intel HD 3000 however runs StarCraft 2 fine, but this problem really has ruined my game within a short period of time, I feel really epileptic ! [post new] [reply to this]

Increased FPS from 30 to 80 by Fake Name on Tuesday September 25th 2012, 15:46 If your game runs well in windows but crappy on Ubuntu: I did all the registry edits and got ~10 fps up from 20, but I typed this in the terminal: taskset -p 2 `pidof SC2.exe` and found a remarkable increase in quality. (20-30 fps - 70-80fps) It makes starcraft use 2 cores instead of 50% of 4. All I know is I can play now! YAY! [post new] [reply to this]

downloader crash during slow download by Josias on Monday August 20th 2012, 11:00 My internet has been really bad the past week and I accidentilly wiped my StarCraft II directory during a wine prefix import. Re-installed without much hassles but then the downloader started crashing while sc2.x.x.x.x-to-sc2.1.5 (or something like that) for whatever reason (probably the downloader is timing out). In any case. waiting for it to crash every couple of minutes for a couple of days is out of the question so I did this to let it continue while I go off to work. while true; do if [ $(pidof wineserver) ];\ then sleep 60;\ else exec=env WINEPREFIX=~"/Games/StarCraft II"\ wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix\ ~/Desktop/StarCraft\ II.lnk;\ fi;\ done; You might need to replace the "~" with your home directory which I took out to have it fit in this comment box here is the unadulterated but my home directory blanked with zeroes while true; do if [ $(pidof wineserver) ]; then sleep 60; else exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/000000/Games/StarCraft II" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix /home/000000/Games/StarCraft\ II/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Desktop/StarCraft\ II.lnk; fi; done; Basically its just a terminal/command-line that repeats checking every minute if wine is running and if it is not then it starts Starcraft II.

Starter/Tuning/Benchmark Script by capilevastu on Monday August 20th 2012, 9:38 hi guys, i once posted here my script but sadly got a disappointing response in terms of inspiration for further work or corrections - as if i am the only one, concerned about SC2 performance. since than, i added quite some features notably a benchmark mode, because the last response before the post died asked me if i have any numbers about the tuning-settings. the answer to this is still no, because i have not investigated the differences of the variety of settings yet. first, i want to ask here again if there is anything to improve or alter. sure, there are some things that must be changed but therefore, i need your advise. one big disadvantage of this script is, it only starts SC2. but in order to get viable benchmark information, you need a reproducible workload, so: - do you know how i can start replays out of the commandline? and - how one might send commands form a bash shell to a x-window, like key-press "this" to switch to a player-camera or set the replay speed - is "perf sched record" a good choice to collect performance data or do you know better ones? e.g. i tried to collect directly from /proc/'pid'/[stats-sched-map] but i dont know about all that stuff. "perf" seems to me to be a better choice. before you take a look at my pride, you should know that i am a scripting amateur. i am happy about every suggestion. pastebin.com/8TpjFJWD [post new] [reply to this]

emulate virtual desktop being ignored by ryan on Sunday August 12th 2012, 14:52 I use winecfg>graphics> emulate virtual desktop when I play sc2. Used to work fine, but all of a sudden when I launch: wine "$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Program Files/StarCraft II/StarCraft II.exe" the 'blizzard launcher' is launched in a virtual desktop window, but when i click the yellow 'play' button to launch versions//SC2.exe it ALWAYS goes fullscreen. Any idea how to solve this? I only have 1 listing (Default Settings) under the "Applications" tab in winecfg. I've tried "add application..." for SC2.exe and the Starcraft II.exe blizzard launcher and specifying emulate virtual desktop for each, but the same problem occurs. I've also tried the non 'winecfg' way of 'wine explorer /desktop=TEST,800x600 game.exe' but that does not help.

by superBOB on Monday May 28th 2012, 9:40 ie testing sound in Winecfg with winealsa.drv gives a bad result (sound is saturated) is it possible to change the driver? [post new] [reply to this]

Intermittent lag by superBOB on Monday May 28th 2012, 9:19 Hi Everything runs smoothly except for this: every 3-4 minutes, I get lag for 30 or so seconds, during which it's almost impossible to do anything (and that's usually the moment the enemy chooses to attack...). I don't think it's a connection issue because I play WC3 on Battle.net too and I have no lag problems there. Also happens when not in a game, ie on the Menu page. Sound is usually fucked up afterwards, so that might be the culprit. Running on Ubuntu 12.04 with Wine 1.5.3 [post new] [reply to this]

Game is all black on Ohana EC by Julian Murgia on Saturday April 14th 2012, 11:04 Hello everybody I experience a new problem with SC2. The new map "Ohana EC" (season 7) appears all black in the game, and also in the map editor, which sounds weird... Here is what it looks like : tinypic.com/r/11t63df/5 This only happens on this map. I tried to remove everything under C:/users/Public/Application Data/Blizzard Entertainment/Battle.net/Cache Do you experience the same problem as me ?

Starcraft 2 crashes before I can log in by Eirik Berg on Tuesday April 10th 2012, 12:27 So first I couldn't update Starcraft, and I couldn't install IE6(because my system is 64-bit). Eventually I just decided to boot into Windows 7, update starcraft, and copy over the Starcraft 2 folder. So far so good, but after the cutscene it crashes. If I start the game it always crashes before I'm able to log in. I'm running it through PlayOnLinux with Wine 1.5.1, but the wine version it suggests, which is 1.3.27, doesn't work either. I have an AMD 8150fx Eight-core processor and two Geforce gtx 570 graphics cards (I only use one of them under Linux). My OS is Ubuntu 12.04 (updated daily). Starcraft 2 gives this crash report: pastebin.com/QgJKZu22 If I run wine from a terminal I get this: pastebin.com/scG9026R Does this happen because I copied over the program from Windows, Ubuntu 12.04 or because of Wine? Any help is appreciated :) [post new] [reply to this]

Starcraft II data in ~/ by Marc Gray on Monday April 9th 2012, 6:55 Not sure if this is a wine feature or a distribution thing, but in Ubuntu and Gentoo at least I've found a Starcraft II folder in my Linux home folder. After some investigation I've found the game writes to "c:\users\username\My Documents", which on the above two distributions at least seems to be symlinked to "~/". There may be a SC2 setting to change the save folder, but I simply deleted the "My Documents" symlink, created a normal folder and copied "~/Starcraft II" into it. [post new] [reply to this]

Random crashes, BadDrawable & mirror/flipped screen by Johan on Friday April 6th 2012, 6:42 I have a problem where after a random amount of time, could be 10 minutes of game play or 10 hours (never in menu though), and the game crashes. The crash is quite specific: * Game freezes (like lag) * Game unfreeze (for few seconds, sometimes enough to kill the game) * Image is mirrored and flipped upside down (only some times) * Computer freezes (everything dies, cannot debug via ssh) This crash happens in 1.3.33 - 1.5.1 (all in between), the most stable ones are: 1.3.33 and .37. These seem to have a longer time-before-fail than all other versions. If winecfg is set to Windows Vista, only 1.3.33 and .37 works. If set to Windows 7, all 1.3.33 - 1.5.1 works (with the caveat that 1.3.33 and .37 are the only ones that I can restart without restarting X). All versions but 1.3.33 and .37 give me a X error when started (when set to anything else than Windows 7): pastebin.com/PMHDV9be (the error also appears if Starcraft is restarted). This (or these) problem(s) might be related to: github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/issues/106 (although I do not have multiple monitors) Since this is quite dependent on wine version (or it acts differently) I was hoping that someone here might have a clue on how to debug this. This problem renders multiplayer games unplayable. System: Gentoo amd64 (3.2.12 and earlier stable) core i7 nvidia 540M (bumblebee + 295.20 and earlier stable) Any help is very welcome! Thanks.

"Quick Match" Error by Michael Clare on Wednesday March 7th 2012, 2:21 Just an update. I am able to install, patch, and log in to Starcraft 2 with sound and video and network working properly. My problem is that at the "Multi-Player", "Quick Match" screen, the circle just sits there spinning endlessly. I thought that something might be loading or cacheing, so I let it sit there. But even 1/2 hour later it is still spinning. The 1v1 2v2 3v3 prompts never appear. I have tried both 1.3.28 and 1.4-rc6. And I am using an NVIDIA Geforce 8800 GTX with Ubuntu 11.10.

Installed but crashes by Michael Clare on Saturday March 3rd 2012, 14:46 I am using ubuntu 11.10, a Winfast Geforce 8800 GTX, and PlayOnLinux with wine 1.4-rc4. I have fixed sound issues and the game installs and patches fine, and I am able to login to battle.net and my achievements load. But when I go to multiplayer it just sits there as if its loading and nothing happens. Eventually if I sit there long enough my whole system will crash and I will have to hard reboot. I can play solo campaign for short periods, but eventually this will also crash too and again I will have to hard reboot. Also, if I try to exit normally by clicking menu and exit the screen will freeze and eventually will cause another crash, and again I have to hard reboot. [post new] [reply to this]

Performance Tweaks by capilevastu on Sunday January 8th 2012, 12:00 hello guys, im experimenting with the setting and performance of sc2 quite a while now and i wanted to share my experiences with you, hopefully someone can add or change some thing. the first and most important performance tweak consists the Variables.txt. there are some commands that increase performance like nothing else. these two options make the shadows completely disappear GraphicsOptionShadowQuality=1 shadows=0 the sound seems to me to be an important bottleneck of wine, heres my sound block of the varaibles notice, the 6 soundchannels ive set, mute the individual sounds alot, especially in big fights, you only hear some, which is ok to me. soundambience=0 SoundAutoDetectCPUCoreCount=1 soundchannels=6 soundmovement=0 soundoutput=Standard SoundQuality=0 SoundResampler=NOINTERP SoundSampleRate=8000 sounduivolume=0.800000 speakermode=Mono the graphic tweaks look like this im not sure what eg. texSpace[2] does but i think its a gain to reduce it (512mb is my video memory). targettexeldensity=0.000000 TerrainTextureHiResCacheSize=32 TerrainTextureLowResCacheSize=32 TerrainTextureSize=32 texQualityLevel=0 texSpace[2]=512 textureBasedFOW=0 this shall only be a little cleavage of my varaibles, there are some more possibilities in this but the information about it are very rare. i dont have to mention that ive disabled/lowered every other option thats there and that you have to write-protect the Variables.txt in order to keep some of the settings. if you want to see my full variables, see: pastebin.com/Lvs2Lmph the second thing you can enhance is wine. this is how i compile my wine. right now im still experimenting with it because i cant get the -march=native flag to work (which is really sad), maybe you guys can help me with it. it would be amazing if i get some pro-tips about compiler optimization, because this is an area i dont know very good. ./configure CFLAGS="-O3 -ffast-math -fno-defer-pop" --disable-win16 --without-cups --without-capi --without-gphoto --without-gsm --without-gstreamer --without-xinerama --without-sane --without-xcomposite --without-xrandr --without-xshape of course you can improve the wine registry too (via winetricks) i dont think that it would be worth it change a bit of these, this is where i tried the most combinations. [Software\\Wine\\Direct3D] "DirectDrawRenderer"="opengl" "Multisampling"="disabled" "OffscreenRenderingMode"="fbo" "PixelShaderMode"="enabled" "RenderTargetLockMode"="disabled" "StrictDrawOrdering"="disabled" "UseGLSL"="disabled" "VertexShaderMode"="hardware" "VertexShaders"="hardware" "VideoMemorySize"="512" the third thing you can optimize is the execution of sc2. ive written a starter script, that automatizes a couple of steps. see the script-comments for further information. to see a clean version, see: pastebin.com/09CNrxj2 #!/bin/bash ## sets my variables.txt wo write-protect to prevent the loss of some variables. chmod -w ~/StarCraft\ II/Variables.txt ## writes the default kernel parameters in varaibles to recall them and undo the changes. kernvar1=`sysctl -n kernel.sched_child_runs_first` kernvar2=`sysctl -n kernel.sched_rt_period_us` #kernvar3=`sysctl -n kernel.sched_rt_runtime_us` kernvar4=`sysctl -n kernel.sched_nr_migrate` kernvar5=`sysctl -n kernel.sched_latency_ns` echo "KERNEL PARAMETER BACKUP DONE" sudo -v ## changes kernel scheduler behavior, this is highly experimental. sudo sysctl -w kernel.sched_child_runs_first=1 sudo sysctl -w kernel.sched_rt_period_us=960000 #sudo sysctl -w kernel.sched_rt_runtime_us=-1 sudo sysctl -w kernel.sched_nr_migrate=48 sudo sysctl -w kernel.sched_latency_ns=8000000 echo "CHANGED KERNEL PARAMETERS" ## sets the governor of my 2 cpu core to performance, to prevent clock-switching in game. sudo cpufreq-set -c 0 -g performance sudo cpufreq-set -c 1 -g performance echo "CPU GOVERNOR: PERFORMANCE" ## starting my sc2, remember, that your folder might be different. also the most commandline parameters for the sc2.exe are obsolete (NO OPENGL!!!) echo "STARTING SC2 NOW" WINEDEBUG=-all wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Programme/StarCraft\ II/StarCraft\ II.exe -opengl -fullproc -skipopenal -nocpubinding -confinecursor ## changes the priority of the sc2 and the winedevice tasks and also forces each one the a different cpu core. sleep 30s wineserver --debug=0 sudo renice -n -10 `pidof SC2.exe` sudo renice -n -10 `pidof wineserver` sudo taskset -p 1 `pidof SC2.exe` sudo taskset -p 2 `pidof wineserver` ## this loop is running as long as sc2.exe is executed. it also counts the minutes and put them in terminal. i=0 while ps ax | grep -v grep | grep SC2.exe > /dev/null do echo -n $i _ sleep 60s let "i += 1" done ## after sc2 has been terminated, the script exits the loop and sets the cpu governor back to ondemand and also undos the kernel scheduler stuff. sudo cpufreq-set -c 0 -g ondemand sudo cpufreq-set -c 1 -g ondemand echo " "; echo "CPU GOVERNOR: ONDEMAND" sudo sysctl -w kernel.sched_child_runs_first=$kernvar1 sudo sysctl -w kernel.sched_rt_period_us=$kernvar2 sudo sysctl -w kernel.sched_rt_runtime_us=$kernvar3 sudo sysctl -w kernel.sched_nr_migrate=$kernvar4 sudo sysctl -w kernel.sched_latency_ns=$kernvar5 echo "KERNEL PARAMETERS BACK TO NORMAL" wineserver -k unset kernvar1 kernvar2 kernvar3 kernvar4 kernvar5 echo "FINISH" i hope you guys think its helpfull. im begging you, if you have any further information about performance compiler optimization or wine specific kernel scheduler, please let me know. gl hf [post new] [reply to this]

Certain graphics not working. by David on Sunday November 13th 2011, 18:49 Hi all, With PlayOnLinux I managed to get most of the game working, however, the "important" elements are just completely missing/black. More specifically, most of the HUD will show up, while the background elements (in the menu and in-game) fail to, or do so very poorly. See the attachments. The game runs and is more or less "playable", although it is somewhat slow. The menus work fine. i.imgur.com/7YccR.png i.imgur.com/VQFJO.png I've got an ATI Radeon HD 3450, with the open source driver. I've tried every combination of regedit values I can find, but they don't change anything. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I might try next? I'm so close but yet so far! I'm on Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit. Any help would be greatly appreciated! :) [post new] [reply to this]

gnome-shell 3.2 system tray interferes with starcraft by MrMarcus on Saturday November 5th 2011, 10:49 Somehow it seems that the mouse capture isn't working as intended with gnome-shell 3.2 When loading up a game I can't scroll the mouse to the corner right below because of the system tray which keeps popping up all the time.

StarCraft 2 Crash after update by fatum on Wednesday November 2nd 2011, 13:14 Hi I just updated my system and I can no longer start the game. It worked perfectly before that update. Here are my system specs: > Graphic card: Nvidia 8500GT 512MB > StarCraft 2 version: 1.4.1 > Wine version: 1.3.31 > Kernel version: 3.0.7-1 > Nvidia driver version: 285.05.09-1 > Distribution: ArchLinux When I start the game, one of this three things happens: > The computer reboots > The computer enters a kernel panic with a black screen (the lights of the keyboard are blinking, that's why I think it is a kernel panic) > The screen turns black and the computer doesn't respond. My guess is that something provokes a kernel panic. Can't know why because I updated wine, kernel and nvidia at the same time (it's been a long time since I updated). I'm also lost because redirecting the output of the command run in a terminal with: # wine /path/to/game/StarCraft2.exe > output.txt leaves the file empty. Any ideas about how to find the error that make the game crash? Also, any other person has the same problem? cheers. [post new] [reply to this]

Sound not working... by Patrick Donnelly on Wednesday October 26th 2011, 0:39 I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10 amd64. I have wine installed via the wine beta packages (1.3.31). I did the following to install Starcraft 2: $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa $ sudo apt-get install wine1.3 $ sudo mount -o ro,unhide,uid=1000,loop Starcraft_2.iso /mnt $ export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine.sc2 $ wine /mnt/Installer.exe At this point Starcraft 2 installed normally without issue and patched without issue. The sound was a little flaky during installation but otherwise okay. When I pressed the "Play" button in the Installer, the game popped up in another workspace and clicking any button would not do anything. So I followed the advice on this page and did the Direct3D registry tweaks. This appeared to solve the problem. I don't know why. Now, while the game starts normally and everything appears to be working fine, I can't get any sound output except in rare circumstances. For example, if I modify sound settings, such as number of channels, after hitting the "Accept" button I hear an extremely brief sound from hitting the button. Then sound it is again silent. I have tried disabling "mmdevapi" library as suggested which doesn't help. [post new] [reply to this]

Improving FPS by Hans Sebastian on Tuesday September 20th 2011, 22:30 My specs are: Ubuntu 11.04 Wine 1.3.28 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor 4GB RAM Radeon HD 6670 1GB I could only play SC2 on low settings at 8fps for awhile. When I play a game like Alien Arena I easily could play on highest settings with 30fps though. So I did the registry key changes and did Ema's cpu affinity change and now I get 25fps on low. Though I should still get more then that and at least be able to play on medium with 30fps. [post new] [reply to this]

Problem solved after upgrading the kernel to 8.2-p2 & Nvidia driver to 270.19. The game works great :D As specified above, to get the sound working : 1. wine regedit 2.

Starcraft II crashes when starting a mission by Ace Uy on Friday August 26th 2011, 16:25 In the same line of several reports below, I have a weird situation. My system: Wine 1.3.26 Ubuntu 11.04 64 bits 2.6.38-11-server NVIDIA GT 520 (1 GB) NVIDIA Driver Version: 285.03 I've installed SC2 five days ago, trying different settings. I got all working fine with some ACCESS VIOLATION reports when in Windows XP version. Fixed when setting changed to Windows 2003. But today, when it finishes to load the mission of the train assault, the game crashes (I have to kill the process by pid) and reports the log I quote below. I tried all recommendations from here and from sites, all windows versions, several combinations of dll overrides, updated nVidia driver, and so. The performance is fine, the sound, the graphics, all is working well, until the game reaches that point. The error report is (partial): ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xC0000005) occurred at 0023:F6CC0781.

Crash when displaying water by Eider on Tuesday July 12th 2011, 2:48 Hi, The game crashes whenever is has to display water. For instance, in the 4th mission of the campaign (vs Zergs), I have to lead settlers to an evacuation point. When I click on the minimap on this point, surrounded by water, the game crashes. The water is neither wierd nor black but the screen freezes and crashes (back to the desktop with a report to be sent to Blizzard). I have tried several Wine's versions but with the same result. Do you think I should try older versions? Wine 1.3.20 then 1.3.15 then 1.2.20 Ubuntu 11.04 Radeon hd 5830 Catalyst drivers PS : I made a reply in an older post but I think my problem is worth a new thread! PS2 : I didn't try on a custom map.

AMD 6650 Cannot regain window focus by Sean Radigan on Tuesday July 5th 2011, 17:03 I have and AMD6650 using catalyst 11.5, Starcraft 2 plays well and operates without any graphical problems for the most part. However, if I leave the game alone for too long, and my screen blanks out(which it doesn't actually because the game window is always on top) I cannot figure out a way to minimize the game or regain window focus, I've tried switching workspaces and tried alt-tabbing....nothing will take the game screen off. You can tell it is on the desktop, because the cursor isn't the starcraft2 cursor, it is the OS cursor. This problem happens to OpenGL applications that refresh their contents, the contents are refreshed onto the screen even if another window is in front of them(things such as any game through wine, cheese webcam, glxgears, anything I've written in OpenGL/GLUT). It doesn't happen if the window doesn't refresh though, if it doesn't refresh sometimes it will grab the desktop image that if behind the window though when it stops moving. So I realize this is a driver problem, however I was wondering if anyone knew a functioning version of Catalyst with my card(Gallium drivers don't run sc2) or if someone could give me some pointers as for hotkeys to minimize certain windows or other such. Thanks, -Sean [post new] [reply to this]

For all those with sound-issues by machete on Tuesday May 31st 2011, 12:18 So this is actually an alsa bug. In order to resolve this issue you need to compile the current alsa-plugins. A small how-to on how to do this: cd ~ git clone git.alsa-project.org/alsa-plugins.git alsa-plugins cd alsa-plugins ./gitcompile sudo make install OR if you are on a debian/ubuntu system use "sudo checkinstall" instead. If you do so choose the right version number and package name so it won't conflict with aptitude sudo /sbin/alsa force-reload It worked for me :) [post new] [reply to this]

Sound is generally broken in WINE now by Ema on Sunday May 29th 2011, 3:30 Hi guys, Just to not rewrite the same answer all over the place, apparently sound is broken in wine since the latest 3 releases. Issues we have with SC2 are the same running other windows applications (as example Heroes of Newerth) via wine. Please raise a bug, I guess a lot of people would be happy to subscribe to it in order to escalate to devs. Cheers, [post new] [reply to this]

Solving the sound issue with wine 1.3.20 by machete on Friday May 27th 2011, 8:29 Since wine 1.3.18 (i think) there are many people with a broken sound. I tried a lot of stuff and I think I finally got it working: - eSound didn't work for me, it had a latency which was like 0.6secs - unplayable! - Setting hardware support to emulation or changing any of the frequency parameters didn't help either Here is what I did: I have 2 sound cards, first I disabled (via blacklisting the module) my on-board sound card since I don't use this one any more, second I removed the mmdevapi exception and set the sound back to alsa. I am not sure if this fixes the sound-crashes since I was not able to test it in the long-run but the sound is not garbled any more. I will report if this finally fixed the soundissues in a few days after some testing. cheers [post new] [reply to this]

New sound issues with Ubuntu 11.04 Nvidia and Wine 1.3.20 by John Ray on Thursday May 26th 2011, 22:05 Ever since updating to 11.04 I have been experiencing all of the old sound issues. Running with win7 or winXP, Alsa, emulation or full, 48k, 16 creates hissing and popping in game with occasional crashes that require you to access the F10 menu to get back. Running with eSound in either config introduces about a 5 second lag between when you would expect to get the sounds and when you actually hear them. Jack and NAS of course do not work at all, and I don't have the option for OSS even though the packages are installed. If I drop back to Wine1.2 then I get choppy sound with alsa full and static with alsa emulation. The last time everything was working was with wine1.2 Ubuntu 10.04 and the old nvidia 260 drivers. I've thrown just about everything I can think of at this to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas? [post new] [reply to this]

Corrupted install by Eric Anderson on Wednesday May 25th 2011, 14:44 I when starting SCII with wine-1.3.20 and some previous versions, I was getting a message saying my install was corrupted. I ran the repair utility and it did not find anything wrong. Running from the command line showed this at the end of the log: err:module:load_builtin_dll failed to load .so lib for builtin L"WLDAP32.dll": libldap_r-2.4.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory err:module:import_dll Loading library WLDAP32.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\Program Files\\StarCraft II\\Support\\Battle.net.dll") failed (error c000007a). I had the 64 bit version of libldap, but not the 32 bit version. I'm on Arch, so I installed lib32-libldap and the corruption error went away. [post new] [reply to this]

Regarding the broken sound in SC2, using wine 1.3.20 by Thomas on Wednesday May 25th 2011, 7:15 My sound broke when I updated my wine. I have been compiling wine with openAL, so I did not need the overwrite of mmdevapi (disabled). With these settings all intact, the sound was broken in SC2 using wine 1.3.20. I fixed it by the following steps (rendering the sound in the game completely stable): - Compiled wine without openAL - Added the overwrite of mmdevapi (disabled) - Set sound to emulation. I am using FreeBSD 8.2 on the following specs: P4 3.2GHz Nvidia 9800GT Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum. NB: FreeBSD uses the OSS sound structure, so perhaps this fix won't help linux users who use any other kind of sound structure. Please post comments either way if you tried this "fix" Cheers, Thomas.

Broken Shaders & Broken Sound by machete on Wednesday May 11th 2011, 11:47 Hi, since wine 1.3.19 the sound often just crashes while playing. To re-enable it I need to change the audio device (there is one called "default" and one "(default(null))") and it works again for like 2-5 minutes. Also when playing with shaders above "low" some backgrounds are black Using shaders on high: bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=34492 And here on low: bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=34493 I have a nvidia gtx 260 with the latest nvidia drivers (270.41.06) any suggestions?

Random crashes. by Mike Talanca on Saturday April 30th 2011, 23:19 Recently I've been getting frequent Starcraft II crashes. They started out very rare (every other day or so), then recently have been happening every few minutes. Here's the terminal output I get when I run Starcraft II and it crashes. pastebin.ca/2052417 I'm pretty sure the last two lines are the root of my problem, but googling the error didn't help me at all. Wine version is 1.3.17. Linux version is Sabayon 5.5. Kernel is 2.6.38. Graphics card is an 8800GTS 512MB, CPU is a Q6600. [post new] [reply to this]

Patcher fails to update to 1.3.2 by Quinn Strahl on Thursday April 14th 2011, 8:42 So, I don't know how recent this issue is in terms of wine versions, but even rolling back to my older versions, I encounter the following problems when trying to update SC2 to 1.3.2: With my current version of wine (1.3.17), none of the usual "patch notes" content shows up. It's just the background with no text. Screenshot for reference: i.imgur.com/D7yTh.png This problem is not present in wine 1.2, at least, I know. It is present in 1.3.16. I don't yet know exactly how far back I need to go before the problem is gone. It might have something to do with my specific wine, maybe something wrong with my gecko? But I've tried reinstalling it to no change, so... dunno. The second problem is that when the patcher hits 70%, this blank, StarCraft-themed window pops up, and no more progress is made. There is no content in the window, but it kind of looks like a notification window of some sort. Maybe an update to terms of use or something? I am just making wild guesses here but I get the impression it's either supposed to be an error message or some kind of prompt for me to agree to something. Unfortunately, it's blank, so the only thing I can do is close the window, which closes the patcher and gets me nowhere. Starting the patcher again after this yields the exact same result. So, I'm stuck. [post new] [reply to this]

Maybe good news. by Pavel on Saturday April 9th 2011, 3:32 Tested someone new AMD drivers? For me, after upgrade drivers (and PC), most of graphics problems disappeared. I tested elder wine via PlayOnLinux and everything works on it. So it is probably new AMD driver, my new hardware, or new SC patch. (from AMD HD 4350 and 480x chipset to HD 5750 and P67 rev. 3) Now with GDI render, fbo and GLSL can see blur on place of invisible units, and can use better shaders. [post new] [reply to this]

ATI, fglrx, crash when trying to access the Zeratul missions by Arne Babenhauserheide on Saturday March 12th 2011, 14:54 When trying to access the Zeratul-Missions via the memory-crystal in the lab I get a crash (log: paste.pocoo.org/show/352592/ ) ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xC0000005) occurred at 0023:00D7524B.

My setup: ATI Radeon HD 4350, FGLRX, Gentoo GNU Linux (via wine 1.3.15, kernel 2.6.36-gentoo-r5) The free driver sadly had severe graphics issues, but aside from this crash in the Zeratul mission and occassional minor glitches, Starcraft 2 runs nicely with fglrx.

Black bar that ruins it by Daniel on Monday March 7th 2011, 5:01 Hey! I just got Starcraft II but I've a problem, please look @ my screenshot (link is way down there ↓) to the left you can see a black bar which is really annoying. It's always there. And if you look down to the left you can see my cursor, the thing is that if I want to click a button, unit or whatever I have to put it a bit left from the button, otherwise the cursor isn't really above the button.. How do I fix this? I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit, Wine 1.3.15 and Nvidia 8800GTS.. Notice I'm running it windowed, and that's how I want it.

SCII stopped launching. by Silvester on Saturday February 26th 2011, 4:29 Well, as everything I do with Wine this too seems to fail. :P I've done everything people told me to do, have all the libraries, fonts and whatnot installed.. And it launched just fine right after installation.. But then some silly patch came along right away and I just can't get the launcher to load anymore, it doesn't error, it doesn't pop up it does nothing. Note that I have major issues with any game I appear to want to run on Wine, so maybe it's me just not getting Linux yet.. But I find it quite strange that when I mimic the exact installation of other people it still refuses to run. And I've been trying it on the latest stable release as well as the latest Beta, both to no avail. :( [post new] [reply to this]

Not working at all with ATI by Hannes on Thursday February 17th 2011, 6:11 Hi everyone. I am trying to run the game with the latest r300g driver from Git and it completely fails, menus and in-game textures don't appear correctly. I have set all settings according to recommendations from this page. Wine is 1.3.11. I have uploaded screenshots, glxinfo and Xorg.0.log here: soulrebel.in-berlin.de/pub/screens_and_logs.tar.xz I have already contacted the driver developers, they say it is a wine-issue, not a driver issue. There are other reports, that say the game displaying correctly with these drivers: bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29363 bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30337 Could someone please have a look at this?

How to dramatically improve FPS by Ema on Saturday February 12th 2011, 3:21 Hi all, the main issue with SC2 is probably the fact that when it runs on multiple core it doesn't fully utilize all the cores, yielding to poor performance. We don't know yet if this is an issue in wine implementation of some API or Linux scheduler or something else. If in my previous post I suggested to force the CPU speed to MAX in order to overcome this issue, now I have a possibly better solution. Basically on multi core CPUs you have to set the 'affinity' of the SC2.exe process to one core only (i.e. even if the game is multithreaded you run all threads on one core). I don't know if there's a better way to to this, so I've created a simple utility to setup affinity of processes. You can grab it here: mynzb.youlink.org/affinity/affinity.cpp and a script to use it (once SC2 gets executed start the script and it'll be run only on core 1 - the second core) mynzb.youlink.org/affinity/sc2.sh In order to use both, first you have to - compile affinity: g++ -O2 -o affinity affinity.cpp - copy sc2.sh in the same directory - execute StarCraft II - once SC2 is running, within an open terminal go the sc2.sh directory and type ./sc2.sh ; you should see out put on the terminal itself "Setting SC2 (a number here) affinity to CPU 1" Then that's it! :-) To check in game FPS, use Ctrl+Alt+F Ps. It's hard to use affinity before launching SC2 because SC2 main process it's a child process of Blizzrd Launcher, so you can't know it's identifier (PID) before it actually gets executed, so you have to apply sc2.sh only once the game it's running...
