Seems that one you posted is the best screenshot in the installer… ;-)

You could try to run Warcraft 3 with the -opengl parameter to War3.exe. It should make it use OpenGL instead of Direct3D.

It might be -gl instead of -opengl.

Screenshot added. Since this is syndicated, I will just make one screenshot that shows off the look and some of its nice localization polish.

To my surprise, Warcraft III did indeed run with Wine. Unfortunately, it was very slow, but the machine is a Fujitsu Lifebook P7120. Perhaps I shouldn’t expect it to run that well. However, the HOWTO on the Wine site had someone using a machine with specs not too much stronger than mine.

Could you be so kind and make some screenshots (maybe through an installation in vmware)? that would be nice. :-)

Warcraft III runs smoothly in Wine, at least it used to. I haven’t had a go with the latest version(s) of Wine, but you should give it a shot. If it fails, I believe 20050725 was the version I had the most luck with.

I’m running Ubuntu, though, but it shouldn’t make a difference.

Red Alert 2 and Warcraft III are _the_ games. Looking forward to C&C3

In my experience Warcraft 3 runs fine under Wine. You can even play on Battle.net.
