Running StarCraft 2 Beta in Wine

[GenoSkill]

whats the point of uploading this shitty video if its lagged as fuck

[ubucraft]

With OpenGL?, I have OpenCL on Ubuntu 10.10 and makes better the hadware I don't need use more Directx

[justanotherp3rs0n]

I'm dying i have a core 2 duo 2 GHz laptop with nVidia GeForce 8400M GS graphics card( i know its not that great) but i cant get SC2 to run playable even on the lowest settings. i just made the switch from windows to linux and i love everything about it except that SC2 is unbearable in wine is there anyway i can get it to run better maybe killing compiz?

[Haxchannel]

Awesome!! :D Proper game, cheers!

[ammarkov]

nice ;)

hi, i have a problem with this, i can install client and all patchs, but after login my window close, you know why i have this problem?

[SwordsDragonsAndCoke]

was the framerate drop offs a side effect of the recording or does it not work all that well

[sinatosk]

blizzard has been known to support OpenGL in their games since warcraft 3. I don't have access to starcraft 2 beta... so I'm no sure

in warcraft 3 you can switch from direct 3d to opengl by command line

upon starting starcraft 2 try the command line option "/path/to/starcraft2.exe -opengl" see if that does anything

[LoloftheRings]

@sinatosk Nope. But, In EU the mac beta hasn't been released yet so maybe it will work in the future.

[johnathan42x]

where u get beta?

[fredrikfyksen]

Well, it works allright.. But 2 much lagg? :S What graphic card do u have?

[yountua]

so does it really look like starcraft 2 will work fine in wine? that would be amazing because i really do not want to switch to windows.

[Quirriff]

The Beta profiler works in WINE now, or at least it does now with the latest WINE and Winegecko.

[LoloftheRings]

'just' Starcraft? WHAT? it's not 'just' Starcraft, it's the allmighty Starcraft!

[LoloftheRings]

What command did you use? I get a black screen..

[sabergun]

he has:

env WINEPREFIX=/directory/to/sc2 WINEDEBUG-all wine "Starcraft.exe"

[FFKpar]

This is excellent news. I was not looking forward to switching between OS's whenever I wanted to play StarCraft II, now it looks like I might now have to :D

[FedoraFTW]

if you want to game then use windows.

[tomasn47]

pfff Mac...Get a PC

[6NiGoL]

[eugenealive]

[123456iambelial]

How did you get the beta?

[ElSlunko]

Glad to see it's working.

[yomanpowerkicker]

Looks great ! What machine are you running this on (processor and graphic card) ?

[nipponpaint99]

sc1 + black guy in SCV + taking minerals and gas + building construction = slave → racist ← blizzard

[TaofD]

no way... awesome!

[freyr922]

SC2 + Linux = GG

:D!

Excellent! Thanks for video!

[theodorZ23]

[staffanholmqvist]

Hi there.

In your post at WineHQ AppDB, you say the login window doesn't work, but you can still play.

I couldn't find how to get into the game in the test notes.

How did you pass the login screen?

[WahlTimeKeeper]

If I may ask, how did you get this to work?

[lubosz]

Check wine AppDB
