I'd really like to play this on linux. Does anyone have positive experience with testing this? I tried running it within Windows XP 64bit using VirtualBox on Fedora 25. The Launcher installs the game, but when trying to start 'StarCraft.exe' nothing happens. Also, each time I start the Launcher it tells me there is an update available, so maybe the update is not applied correctly? I have tried StarEdit and this works flawlessly. Maybe it has something to do with new OpenGL requirements? | ||

However 1.18 doesn't even work on wine. Bad news it is not working on virtualbox either (at least mine) I get an error with opengl on startup. I wonder if they will bother making a linux compatible version one day, that would be great and i could throw away this windows garbage once and for all. | ||

I think that Windows XP virtual machines won't support 1.18 since they have changed the version of OpenGL that the game runs on (so might need 7). DirectX 9 support is apparently coming, though that doesn't really help Wine users. Implementing DirectX9 Support This is going to take a minute... but will resolve many of our compatibility issues with low spec machines. We will have a PTR build for testing in the coming weeks as it is ready. | ||

I'm sorry you might want to consider installing Windows... I'm using MacBook Pro after 1.18 tho. | ||

I had the exact same problem when I first tried it too. But it was updated again yesterday, and I haven't had any problems since. Are you using the latest version? | ||

Any tips? https://us.battle.net/forums/en/starcraft/topic/20754526150 Windows Windows 10, 8.1, and 7 are supported for online play. Due to a TLS security hole, XP and Vista are only supported for campaign and LAN I don't think they can use XP mode anymore for Wine for multiplayer. Going to have to wait a bit until they figure out a workaround. I'll try it out myself in a bit and let you know if anything changes. | ||

It takes some time because blizzard took the lazy route, all the new menu elements are html/javascript running via a modified embedded chrome... I have been looking at improving things using the wine-starcraft as base.

You can still use XP mode in 1.18.3, I just did a few minutes ago when I recorded the above video. The TSL issue is just laziness, they could have used OpenSSL. Edit: installing winhttp and/or wininet with winetricks really improved the loading times for the new bnet elements. | ||

It's not that I'm impatient... I waited for a minute. My issue is not like yours, I have a dialog in center stating "Connecting..." and the gateway list never appears. It's like SC is not able to connect to the Battle.net servers. But it's not a firewall issue, I'm running it with Wine using the prepared runner from Lutris. Do I need to install / configure anything in Linux? Here's a screenshot: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/KimLDta.jpg) | ||

The thing is, I start it by double clicking on it in the Lutris client. So there is no terminal with logs. Do you know by any chance which file are the logs directed to? To be able to provide you the logs gave me the idea to launch this manually, using the wine executable from the Lutris runner, and passing StarCraft.exe to it (both with full paths). And voila, SC started, and I could login to Battle.net. It would be still nice to be able to launch from Lutris client and have it fully functional. | ||
