What's so different between it and Warcraft for Mac when the system base is the same? Game industry need to understand the need of making a Linux release to get more buyers, more income.

I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal and when I start I have those 2 bars at the top and bottom, because I prefer the Ubuntu Classic. There is no longer a tab in Prefrences>Appearances to disable effects. On the login screen I tried switching my Ubuntu version selector thing (lol) to Ubuntu Classic (No Effects), but even this doesn't help. I still have those dumb bars. The game is still playable, it's just annoying with the bars. Just letting everyone know. Oh, forgot to mention something.

Just stopping by to let everyone who sees this know, that I was going to install this through PlayOnLinux yesterday, but the site where you need to download something for it to install correctly was no longer up. So, the installation on PlayOnLinux no longer works I think. Great guide though. Really helpful. Ekalb, just select your video card driver in “Additional Drivers”.

The launcher thing doesn't bug me so much, what bugs me is that when I launch Warcraft III it comes up with the home screen thing, you know, the tower, but there are no textures. Like, the tower in the back is just pure white with some shading, and everything is discolored and it lags so bad that I thought I'd have to do a hard shutdown just to get out of there. I just want to know what the problem is. Did I not do something right? Help is much appreciated.

If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit. So I goto properties, and permission and mark as an executable, but on a cd I have to copy everything over to a folder or something then do this step. Is there anyway to no have to do that, to just have Ubuntu recognize it and run it in wine? I can still get it to work, but this is just an annoying problem! Again thanks for the tutorial!

I installed it perfectly and I have no lag or sound error, but I can not find any explanation why I can not see other people on my LAN or them see me. I have already tried about 6 methods and am now wondering if it is literally my networking. But I am still wondering how to let it accept Warcraft now. Umm….
