If you go into /home/ yourusername/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Warcraft III/Movies, you can delete them to make the game start/work. I have found that if you don't remove/rename the included movies, especially the intro movies the game will not properly start as wine is unable to play them. It also appears that the newer patches automatically include a nocd which allow you to play the game without having the game cd in the drive, run the patch through wine and let it install. After you are done you will need to patch the game, at the moment the latest patch is version 1.24e which you can download here (for either Reign of Chaos or Frozen Throne). The good news is there is an easy solution.įirst install wine, then run through the normal install of Warcraft3 RoC & TFT using wine.
Without some tweaks Warcraft3 runs very sluggish, poorly, slow and laggy under wine. People have become incredibly creative in making custom games for Warcraft and there is still a huge player base despite the age of the game (RoC released in 2002 and TFT Expansion in 2003). It's amazing that a small custom map file can completely change the game into something else. Warcrat3 is one of my favorite games, I especially like to play custom maps like Legion TD, Battleships, Island Defense, Burbenog TD, Gem TD, Zoator TD, Jurassic Park Survival, Green Circle TD, Dota and tons of others.
