You may be better served, if using winex, by going to the Transgaming website and actually doing a search for your game(s) and seeing what people have said. Often, you will read whether or not certain functions in the game are DOA or not, what special tricks are required to get a game working, etc. All may not be lost yet. Battlenet, as I understand it, has been a problem for quite some time with all wine variants, by the way. There may be tricks to get it working but you will want to search Transgaming's site, or even post a question for that game (each game has its own message list and there is also a broader technical service list you could try as well if you don't find any answers elsewhere). praedor - -- Patriotism as practiced in the USA is blindly accepting, noncritical, and silently following along.
