Lately with Wine 6.0.1 Stable, I have had many problems with Wine when launching games that would install perfectly, but would not function, one such game would be Warcraft III, where it would ask for the CD when long ago, an official patch was released to not ask for the CD. That was the 1.21 patch; I am using the 1.26 patch.
For a long time, I have been using 1.26 without much problems, albeit it wouldn't play cinematics. That was not the main complaint and is out of the scope of this report; the real problem is that it won't even run.
I am using Linux Mint 20.2 Uma and it is a MATE desktop. The computer system is a 64-bit machine. I installed Wine 6.0.1 with the instructions provided on the website as well as wine-desktop-files, a package that would create a menu on Mint that would use winecfg, wineunstaller, and the like on the menu and would include "shortcuts" (sorry, WIndows user here) of Windows programs. Since the beginning of the year, which I was using Mint 20.1 the games booted fine, but just recently, I accidentally discovered the games didn't boot.
There were many things I tried, and they are as follows
[*]trying different versions of the Wine software, including 4.0: this did nothing, as even 4.0 exhibited the same problems
[*]re-wiping the installation: this also did nothing and each wipe would wasted a lot of time as the same problem
[*]trying virtual machines on Virtualbox: this helped somewhat as most Windows guests did boot some DirectX games, but not Warcraft III, though an antiquated version of Linux Mint was able to launch Warcraft III, albeit slowly
[*]trying OpenGL, this worked, but the colours were distorted
The Warcraft III version was not the Reforged version used now; it was the physical copy, but as I said, an official patch was released and it took out all CD-checking. I don't know why it came back. I know this though, this wasn't the only DirectX game that behaved like that, others don't even show the "please insert disc" message; they simply chose not to run.
Here are my PC specifications:
Here's the debug output that was asked to be displayed for each error; in this case, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne:
I did not use third-party applications; I used only the original Wine package. I thought it would conflict with the original Wine software. Besides, I was successful with the original Wine software package in the past. I hope I am not in error.
Thank you for any help you give me, even if it is to "RTFM." I hope get on the right foot.
