Can't play StarCraft WINE closes

[Linux_noob616]

I just installed WINE to play my StarCraft (yes i know it's an old game but it's awesome)

It installed and updated perfectly, But anytime i try to open it Wine instantly closes the emulateded window, And in fullscreen it doesn't even open.

Any ideas?

Do you use KDE? (Awesome game btw)

Try to run it from command line and post the output here.

I use KDE, Didn't know Pardus came in Gnome. (and thanks used to play it when i was 9)

Had to reinstall WINE fresh. Here is what it says when i am installing starcraft

Code:

~ $ wine /media/sr0/install.exe

The line "fixme:wave:wodPlayer_Reset shouldn't have headers left" pops up when i highlight anything in the menu.

And i've been trying but i can't run StarCraft in the terminal

First of all you have incorrect display drivers config. Go to PISI Manager, uninstall all nvidia drivers, reboot, then install the one, appropriate for your graphic card.

The line "fixme:wave:wodPlayer_Reset shouldn't have headers left" pops up when i highlight anything in the menu.

What menu do you mean? The menu of tht installer or the in-game menu?

[Linux_noob616]

In the installer menu, I can't get ingame, I am about to update my nVidia drivers or should i say get the right ones. So i'll see what happens after the new drivers install.

EDIT: Works perfectly, Thanks.

Linux_noob616, so, the game is working now if I understood you correctly?

[Mhmrcs]

When I asked if you used KDE - it may have seemed random > to clarify > KDE has been a far more stable playing enviroment than GNOME which due to my nVidia drivers used to flicker, and change screen resolution etc. People can install GNOME on Pardus which would be experimental, thats could be a cause of the game not working.

[Linux_noob616]

Ohh, No i use KDE. Not as big of a Gnome fan.

And the game works perfectly, But i have issues with the map editor. I pretty much can't do anything advanced (make ramps put down trees ect ect) because the doodad and brush tools close as soon as i move my mouse.

Any ideas why that might be?

If you say open it using the terminal please explain how. Cause

Code:

wine starcraft.exe

doesn't work..

[Ch00k]

What does wine starcraft.exe say when you run it?

[Mhmrcs]

Isn't there a separate executable for the map editor?

[Linux_noob616]

No idea, probably. But all i'd have to do is change "starcraft.exe" to "whatever.exe"

And i get this

Code:

wine: could not load L"C:\\windows\\system32\\starcraft.exe": Module not found

When i try to open it with this

Code:

wine program files\starcraft\starcraft.exe

i get this

Code:

wine: could not load L"C:\\windows\\system32\\program.exe": Module not found

Or when i try this

Code:

wine c:\program files\starcraft\starcraft.exe

I get this

Code:

wine: cannot find 'c:program'

I'm new to wine. First time i've tried using it.

This will sound like a stupid suggestion: Did any errors occur during installation? Have you tried re-installing it? Alternatively, you can browse the C: drive through WINE and execute the program from Program Files.

[Linux_noob616]

It opens fine, But i don't know how to debug it, And no no errors happened durring installation.

Have you uninstalled any programs in Pardus? You may be missing dependancies (libraries etc), try running Pardus on VirtualBox - if it works then, it means your installation of Pardus is missing modules etc. (This is simply a forensic last measure.)

Have you installed all depandanices of WINE?
