Old test results
The test results for this version are very old, and as such they may not represent the current state of Wine. Please consider submitting a new test report.
Selected Test Results

What works

  • Installer.
  • Game, after lowering graphics settings.
  • Network play (test).

What does not

  • Graphics are terrible with high settings.
  • Trying to start a skirmish immediately exits if graphics settings are set high.
  • Game binds to the incorrect network interface. See below.
  • Audio plays through the PC speaker and not the monitor if network namespaces are used (not a Wine bug).
  • New WoW64 build is far too slow (Bug 55981).

Workarounds

  • Using a NoSteam.
  • Native d3dx9_29 (Bug 46012).
  • To force the game onto the correct network interface I had to run it under a separate network namespace. This requires sudo access to set up the veth links and bridge them onto the correct NIC.

What was not tested

  • Online play (requires third-party software as offical servers are long gone).
  • Uninstall.

Hardware tested

Graphics:

  • GPU: Nvidia
  • Driver: proprietary

Additional Comments

Online play is a TODO. Could boost this to Gold.

Seems to work the same in a 32-bit or 64-bit WINEPREFIX, though not the new WoW64 build.

Played for hours with no issue, once the correct settings were applied.

HowTo / Notes

Kane's Wrath

Following installation you will need a native d3dx9_29.dll (winetricks d3dx9_29) � Bug 46012.

To avoid Bug 54436 you may need to lower your graphics quality settings.

Multiplayer "Out of Sync"
by Hans Gaiser on Saturday March 28th 2015, 6:09
I managed to get everything seemingly to work on OSX with wine 1.7, even network games. However a random amount of time (usually somewhere after 10 minutes), the game gives a network out of sync error and forces you to quite. No clue why this happens..

Could you try this again in the latest Wine?

It's been 9 years :) I'm sure it might work now but I have no plans to play this game anytime soon.
