Warcraft III Program Error

Question

Hey guys...im new here and i hope someone can help me.
I installed Warcraft III (Orignal CDs) with Wine with the Tutorial on ArchWiki.
But everytime i start the game, the normal window Appears which loads the game. And after a few seconds i get the Message:
Program Error
The program War3.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
when i start the game in a terminal (tried with and without -opengl) i get this:
[XNight@myhost Warcraft III]$ wine War3.exe
err:ole:CoCreateInstance apartment not initialised
wine: Call from 0x7bc49230 to unimplemented function Storm.dll.570, aborting
wine: Unimplemented function Storm.dll.570 called at address 0x7bc49230 (thread 0009), starting debugger...
then i press the Close Window on the window which appeared:
Unhandled exception: unimplemented function Storm.dll.570 called in 32-bit code (0x7bc49230).

Thanks for help!
Some Infos:
-newest version of Wine
-Nvidia fx5500 with nvidia-173xx
It worked perfectly on all ubuntus (I tested 9.04 to 10.10)

Answer 1

Ubuntu's universe repository for their latest release contains wine 1.2, but Arch's currently has 1.3.6.  Maybe the newer version introduced a regression that affects Warcraft III. Have you tried patching the game to its latest version? Check the wine appdb page for Warcraft III and see if there's anything else that can help. You might also try to install wine 1.2.1—there is at least one PKGBUILD for it  in the AUR.
I own a copy of the game, but it currently sits in storage elsewhere; if I can grab it, maybe I'll try to install it too.
