Hello,
This script doesn't work perfectly on my play on linux, but I still was able to install StarCraft 2 and run it well.
But it stays a problem: the game run on a single core of my processor, so, as my processor is not very efficient, when there is more than 120 military units in the game, it becomes to be laggy, in unpayable when theere is more than 200 units.
Has some one a trick to make it run on more than one core?
Thanks
I also changed a little bit the script to make it install a 5.6 wine x86_64 rather than this old 3.19 wine x86 install.
Could I suggest you this new script?
Battle.net does not run at all on my machine. It just freezes. No exception handling. No log file that I can reference. I have tried to reinstall several times to no avail. How do you start to troubleshoot this?
Removed flashplayer and IE8 (we don't use them in POL5 script and both the Battle.net app and Starcraft works), removed the registry fix and .exe file removal because none of that is an issue anymore.
With this script I was able to run this game and play a couple of co-op matches. Multiplayer mode and campain wasn't tested but I'm sure they will work as well. You might have to try killing Agent.exe and remocing the content of Blizzard App's cache folder until your game profile will load. Once the profile loads you wont have to do that again. Also don't set graphics above medium even if your PC can run this game on higher settings on Windows. The game will most likey crash with an out-of-memory error.
Pour jouer Starcraft II, j'ai effectu une installation manuelle car le programme par dfaut de playonlinux ne fonctionne plus (dernire mise jour du script en 2011). Le jeu fonctionne correctement aussi bien en mode coop, campagne et multijoueurs (parties classes ou non).
To play scarcraft II, you have to install it manually in playonlinux because the script doesn't work anymore (last update in 2011). It works for me for all game modes : coop / arcade / rank games / custom games...
I've just made this game work. I tested it in a single co-op game and it works. Keep in mind that due to how Wine works and the diffirences between linux and windows GPU drivers you might experience decreased performance and have to turn the graphics settings down a notch. Also you must install vcrun2015 manually via winetricks since POL dosen't have an installer for this dependency. The in-game patcher is broken no matter how you ste up the mshtml. So I had to go around this problem by killing all update processes (I dont know their exact names so the script will kill all *.exe proceses, will change that once I remember the names), then downloading the patcher (it's pretty hard to find a link that will work in a script since a lot of them have tokens with limited lifespan, please let me know if this link is dead so I can look for a replacement).
I'm not sure if the sound fix is necesseary anymore. I left it just in case. Also changed the name of the game/prefix because when you download updates for WoL you also download files for the expansions and as such, the old title is no longer accurate.
I had to use wine-2.19-Staging to get the window to appear that lets you use offline mode to isntall games. It technically works for other versions but it's invisible and you have to click the mouse on the gear at the battle.net login screen and then move the mouse over the correct position for it to appear. But if you want to see it the easy way use 2.19-Staging. I have gotten offline mode to work for starcraft 1 and am dling starcraft 2. But I'm saying this for the battlenet thing. Offline for starcraft I gives error 6:3.
I installed a few other things like gecko and mono and wininet. I don't think they contributed but I could be wrong. Do NOT install winhttp or it will start saying to reinstall because it cannot find a dll. Removing winhttp from the libraries in wine config will stop this problem.
I forgot. I also installed the bottle initially with this installer. So anything it does as well. I will have to test SC1 battle.net access with higher versions of wine now that I know how to get into offline regardless of wine versions.
I have redone this script. After more than 10 hour of testing I am 100% sure that this game/it's patcher and/or Battle.net app requires vcrun2015 and since there is no vcrun2015 on wiki I can assume there is no POL function for it but I included it anyway.
If you are installing from DVD and the patcher crashes before patch 1 from 24 is installed (or the battle.net app cant login if you sellected an online instalation), close all POL windows and install vcrun2015 and corefonts (I think links used by POL to download them are down but I haven't checked it yet) via winetricks.
After doing all of this I managed to get Battle.net working, I logged in and started downloading patches. Now the only problem with battle.net app its improper scalling (the bar with the window's name have to be removed but I haven't figured out how).
The game itself tries to launch but only displays a black square and the crashes with "the graphics device is not avaiable". But maybe it will work once the download bar will turn green. So this script isn't 100% working as you can see but I post it in case someone who is better at scripting will figure something up.
Thanks, JWP. With the official script, SC2 would install but would freeze at the beginning. With your script, I was able to install and play the game. The installation from the DVD failed, because the file referenced by your script isn't on the DVD. But it doesn't matter, since the installation from the web site worked. Thanks a million for your contribution!
Then, because I used the "nouveau" free driver for my graphic card (hybrid Intel processor graphic / Geforce 635M), the game launches but there's a very strange coloured screen, probably a graphic bug. I Installed Nvidia-311 proprietary driver and all was solved.
Jje rencontre un problme quand j'installe SCT 2 WINGS OF LIBERTY la fentre SUDO s'ouvre (au bout de quelques tapes) est me demande mon mot de passe... je l'crit mais rien ne s'affiche dans la fentre, je valide au cas o mais sa ne fonctionne pas.
My problem is with the sound. On first time, when I run SC2 i have no sound issue, but, after a time playing the sound and the voice chat goes off and/or distortioned (I cannot hear it fine, with no known sounds).
Fine, I observe that if I launch the POL WINECFG over SC2 installation, I have all my PC sound hardware selectable, but if I launch it with TeamSpeak 3 (for linux, obviously) running, POL WINECFG lost my default sound hardware and the sound test were distortioned.
J'ai juste du passer une version plus rcente de wine que la 1.5 mais tout fonctione bien, et j'en suis d'ailleur le premier surpris, les parties classs me sont possible dans le sens o je n'ai pas de handicap majeur suplmentaire, tout s'affiche et est fluide ! ( mme si il doit y avoir quelque FPS en moins, rien de perseptible pour le comun des mortelles de mon cot).
