My computer doesn't freeze but obviously the application isn't running correctly. What could I do to get Warcraft III to work properly?

(Wine 0.9.45 works as well, but it is OLD....) If you use a battle.net launcher to play on a pvpgn server you need to set the OpenGL mode setting in the registry (see appdb). If you install the 1.22 patch you need install some recent version of the MS Visual C++ runtimes... (Check appdb for details....) You might want to keep Warcraft in a seperate WINEPREFIX if you have any DLL overrides on your system... http://wiki.jswindle.com/index.php/Wine_Prefixes Mine currently work fine with the only issues being a occasional flash on the screen and some minor graphical issues...
