Starcraft 2 crashing at start

[electricFuzz]

Hi!

I try to play SC2 on my comp, openSUSE 11.4, using wine. Download, install, patching etc didn't give any error messages. When I try to start up the game it crashes, 5 or 10 sec after I click on icon.

I have:
Kernel 2.6.37
wine 1.3.12

Anyone here tried to install StarCraft2 and played it using wine? What kernel or wine version did you use to get liftoff?

Thanks!

Hello and Welcome!

I don't actually play StarCraft, so I have no real details for you.
If you could launch it from the terminal, it should give some output when it crashes.
Post that info back.
Perhaps a member that does play it will chime inn and have a few ideas for you.

I found a repository with later versions of wine. Now I have wine 1.3.25. Now the game starts and a SC2 load splash is shown.
This is the print I get with current settings. SC2 in terminal.txt


The print is somewhat Greece language to me. Any help is appreciated.

Mhmm, seems there's no SC2 junkies here.

Status
I'm now able to start the game, I login and I see main menu. However when I start a game vs AI I see load screen, load bar is full but game won't start. When I play multi player I get past the load screen but in the game I can't see any thing on the big screen, the little map screen seems to display everything properly though.

did you ever get this working?

Well sort of!

I got it running with some issues. Finally I ended up installing Win7 because I needed to run some other windows friendly programs too. Lo and behold, Win7 is a KDE rip-off to the extent that fellas like me hardly see the difference.
