The rpm for 3.0-1 (the latest version) works fine in Mandrake 9.1. It is what
I use. As for Starcraft and battlenet, here is a blurb from the specific
game page at Transgaming:
- ---------------------------------
Demo and full game both work perfectly in single player mode. There are visual
issues with Battle.net.
Multiplayer over UPD (tcp/ip) lan works perfectly. Requires v1.09.

bnet speed
by argpirate on Sunday May 4, 2003 @ 7:53PM
i know this may be very pointless and their exists a high chance of never
getting help but, is there a way to make starcraft preform better on bnet. in
single player in runs like a dream but in bnet it plays like crap. the patch
installed fine. the menus are gay but usable. the game itself though is not
playable on bnet. anyway to fix this? I'm running suse 8.2
- -------------------
Finally, here's a few more with a possible resolution, though not without some
"cost". The last message down has a "fix" for playing on battlenet that you
could try:
- ------------------
WineX Version: 3.0
Distribution: Redhat 7.3
Video Card: Matrox 400. Driver: mga
Sound Card: es1371. Driver: alsa
Game Title: Broodwar
I got Broodwar installed and working nicely in single player mode. Just needed
to kill esd to get sound working.
Kudos on that one!
But multiplayer doesn't work for me. Specifically, battlenet freezes up on the
"accessing account" popup. The cancel button is unclickable at that point so
I have to killall wine to get rid of it.
This happened on the clean installed version 1.05, the 1.09 I copied over from
doze, and 1.10 when I ran Broodwar under windoze thinking the updater might
be the culprit. Pretty much renders the game useless to me under WineX as I
only play on battlenet.
I've scanned the forum but haven't seen anyone else with this problem.
A run with -debugmsg +err yielded some output I couldn't use to determine a
course of action.

Re: Battletnet unusable with WineX3 and Broodwar (1.05->1.10)

I was having the exact same problem with red hat 9 on esound, kernel 2.4.20-8,
Intel 845G video card with DRI disabled on XFree86 4.3.
Your workaround works for me just as you've described it, it is very annoying
however, since the 1 player mode works perfectly.
The only thing I noticed is that while playing a game online on battle.net,
the game gets progressively slower after a while, to the point where it is
unplayable. And I don't know why this is.

After much experimentation I was able to get into battlnet.
battlenet
It turns out the key is turning off fullscreen mode and DXGrab. Which makes
play slightly annoying as I have to manually shift to a higher resolution and
cope with desktop
scrolling when the mouse leaves the wine window.
The menus in battlenet are a little funky (click to redraw and just know which
one does what because they labels are invisible). But its playable.
So there is a workaround, but I'd be much happier if it worked in fullscreen
mode.
