I am totally annoyed about this problem. It's not the first time I install that game, but it is about that freaking error. (I have ubuntu mate 16.04)
Last time I did it, after using the classic ubuntu, I was even more amazed, because just using wine I discovered it was even not necessary to correct the video size, various parameters etc. I just clicked on the icon like that damn billy's os. But now I don't know what is the problem.
ps. I tried different times on two pcs
another interesting thing I don’t understand is that the default path it creates is on windows7 (i have a dual boot with it)
What warcraft 3 use Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos or Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne
Use playonlinux program. -> https://www.playonlinux.com
do not use system wine. Report warcradt 3 errors in https://bugs.winehq.org/
yes it can possible. This is exactly why I use playonlinux program. In this way I can get around this problem. playonlinux is using own program-specific prefix. Using the program is easy. There can do their own installation programs, or use ready-made.
totally no idea of that… or better, I know that an update could be just garbage… it could slow down… but totally destroys is ridiculous.
anyway I tried
Error in POL_Wine
crashed
Does the game work? At some point, Blizzard updated the game for it to work on modern PCs (i.e. Windows 7-10) and it broke compatibility with Wine. Last time I tried it, it crashed with an error like yours. Has it been fixed?
