Warcraft 3 in Ubuntu using Wine

Playing Warcraft 3 in Ubuntu 9.04 using Wine.
Guide How to Run Warcraft on Ubuntu: http://lancraft.blogspot.com/2009/07/how-to-install-warcraft-3-on.html

Ok, i run garena and all with wine and it all works good, but when i start the game using the path, the game is very laggy and un playable. Although when i start the game using the terminal and typing  wine "home/alex/Desktop/Warcraft III/Frozen Throne".exe -opengl it works perfectly and i can set the graphics way high with no lag although i can't play with people because u have to start it from garena.... What do I do???? please help! =D

@ajt2014 try running garena with -opengl tag

@love2spooge91 =[ yeah it didn't work unfortunately... Any other ideas? I have to reason why it isnt working... Do you think somehow, i could set up something that when i press start game, it runs it from the terminal? I am not so good at coding and bash and I don't think i could do any of that stuff. Thanks for the idea, it sounded like it would work. So is there any other tags i could do or something? Thank you

@ajt2014 i found this

Go to Garena > Settings, change your Executable settings normally, like "C:\Warcraft\war3.exe", but type "-opengl" into the Game Bootstrap Parameters field. Save and you are done, Wacraft should work.
