I’ll be showing you how to setup your system so that you can play and/or host Warcraft 3 games online painlessly and I’ll be showing you how to host Warcraft 3 games under wine. In this tutorial, it’ll be divided into two parts. If you need more information check out this blog post. Generally 250ms for results in games with delay and/or lag.
What is delay reducer? Warcraft 3 sets a predefined delay of 250ms for and 100ms for Lan. In addition, until recently there has been no linux compatible delay reducer. So when you’re playing team games that could be a problem. Current versions of Wine do not have a working implementation of AcceptEx, this causes in game chat to be broken in.
Sure, you have a working version of Warcraft but when it comes to playing online it’s a different matter. However, the tutorial usually just ends there. I’ve read too many tutorials on how to setup Warcraft 3 on linux. This post is now deprecated as I no longer maintain this.
