Hi, You should probably edit your wine config file in .wine/config (if you have one) to run war3.exe in a window. This will possibly allow you to view any traceback information. The other thing is that you should make sure that you are running Warcraft 3 in OpenGL. The command is: wine war3.exe -opengl I hope that this helps. --Tim
