Running Eurobattle and Warcraft III with Wine
This tutorial was tested with wine-10.4 (Staging) on Debian 12. Players reported that Wine Stable also works.
You need:
- Warcraft III 1.26a and/or 1.28.5
- Eurobattle.net Installer
Installation Steps
wine installer.exe
- If prompted to install wine-mono, accept.
- Untick "I already have Visual C++" on the first step.
- Continue through the installation steps.
- For game paths, I prefer
/home/me/games/<w3>
, which maps in the dialog to e.g.Z:\home\me\games\Warcraft III 1.26
. For the target install directory, you could also use a place in your home, e.g.Z:\home\me\programs\Eurobattle.net
. - Click Install and wait for it to finish.
Starting the Client and the Game
In the terminal:
- Open the Wine Registry Editor:
regedit
- Navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Blizzard Entertainment/Warcraft III/Misc
Set seenintromovie to 1. This disables the intro movie, which is broken under Wine. If this key does not exist yet, create it as DWORD. cd /home/me/programs/Eurobattle.net && wine xpam.exe
Everything in the client should work except the News tab, which uses Qt WebEngine and is broken under Wine.
Enjoy!
