Newer nVidia cards removed some functionality from the GPU that makes -opengl a requirement. > If i run with -window i get a black window instead of a black screen. There are countless forum threads about this problem, and not one has a solution. There also seems to be a problem connecting to battle.net, but i haven't made it that far yet. When i played it some time ago i could do everything, battlenet, and even run it in directx mode for laughs! > I heard that battlenet does not work with wine versions > 0.9.48 but for me that is fine because I never use that. > My wine version is 0.9.58. I installed warcraft and the expansion from original CDs, and the latest official patch removed the cd-check, so there is not even a crack involved. My last ditch effort was going to be reverting to an old wine version. Now i am out of ideas, and would appreciate any help. > Using wc3 in wine in the last 3 years has not required a crack.
