Hello Linux users!! I'm putting together this guide for people who are not completely Linux savvy. I've been searching a good stream line way to just get Starcraft RM working on Linux smoothly without too many complicated steps. I found that the easiest way at least for me is through Lutris. So lets start by installing it.
(I'm using Linux mint 18.3) Go to and follow the steps to install it. Then once installed open it up and browse games. Then search 'Starcraft' click the Starcraft Remastered selection. 'Now BEFORE you install it, go to the terminal and install the needed files. Sudo apt-get install libgnutls30:i386 libldap-2.4.2:i386 libgpg-error0:i386 Ok once that finishes you can go to back to the browser and click the install tab, it should open up a window asking you if you want to open the link with lutris, click 'open link' go through all the steps until it opens up the Starcraft installation window, the just press continue and agree to the terms. Once it gets to the log in screen. Log in, and after that directs you another window DO NOT PROCEED, type this in the terminal.
Killall Battle.net.exe Agent.exe Okay now look back at the Lutris menu and check that it will create the shortcuts. Then click finish.
Everything should now be done! To start the battle.net Starcraft installer, go ether to the shortcut or Lutris window and click Starcraft Remastered then finish the installation battle.net. (Edit) You might need to right click Starcraft and configure wine tricks from windows XP to windows 7 if it tells you your OS is unsupported. Hm, let's just compare notes, shall we? Let's say we're on Ubuntu (because your 'guide' assumes this; as in, there's no pointers for Arch or Manjaro users, for example). First, common step: sudo apt-get install libgnutls30:i386 libldap-2.4.2:i386 libgpg-error0:i386 Now, with just Wine: Download the Starcraft installer, then: WINEPREFIX=/.wine-starcraft WINEARCH=win32 winetricks corefonts WINEPREFIX=/.wine-starcraft wine StarCraft-Setup.exeYou're done, enjoy playing the game.
And with this Lutris thing: ver=$(lsbrelease -sr); if $ver!= '17.10' -a $ver!= '17.04' -a $ver!= '16.04' ; then ver=16.04; fi echo 'deb./' sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/lutris.list wget -q -O- sudo apt-key add - sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install lutris. 01:41 PMPosted by go through all the steps until it opens up the Starcraft installation window, the just press continue and agree to the terms.
Once it gets to the log in screen. Log in, and after that directs you another window DO NOT PROCEED, type this in the terminal. Killall Battle.net.exe Agent.exe Okay now look back at the Lutris menu and check that it will create the shortcuts. Then click finish. Now, which one has fewer complicated steps? Finding out the appropriate Wine version isn't all that difficult.
This 'oh, let's just use that other software' approach is exactly what drives the plethora of weird poorly-written programs that Linux wannabes end up installing without even knowing what they're doing. Appropriate advice to the 'not completely Linux savvy' people is to go and become 'more Linux savvy', not offering more third-party solutions that may or may not end up being helpful.
Starcraft Wine
Now you're being rude not only in the tone of your response, but in the fact that you're not actually reading my replies. Is that also how you're planning to handle the target audience of your 'guide'? There is no need for any guide, because the installation is quite straightforward, and anyone already can understand it (as in, if someone doesn't, they probably shouldn't be using Linux anyway, or should start learning; running non-native software on a foreign OS is not something one should do right after installing said OS for the first time).
What you're doing is convoluting a very simple procedure while at the same time promoting unnecessary software (i.e. So I'm afraid it is you who should get over your made-up self-righteousness and think harder about your cause and consequences of your actions. Kids may be reading.

Your taking too much time proving your point on such a small matter. I use Linux not because I want to show how great I am and special but because I don't want to put my computer in the hands of companies like Microsoft and Apple, and honestly I don't care to learn a great deal more about Linux because I know enough to work efficiently on it. And I'm not saying that Lutris is a 'better option' I'm just telling people what I did to get it to work.
If you want this to be a nice conversation then why don't you stop showing me up and simply be kind and constrictive. Also, I am under 18, so that makes me a 'kid' I guess. (edit) I appreciate where your coming from, and the point your trying to get at. I have no objection to that.
I'm just wondering why your attacking me over it. That's the thing, I wasn't attacking you at all, nor was I showing you up. I simply pointed out that you're overcomplicating things. I've demonstrated the difference in two approaches as well as explained why 'more' isn't always 'better'. See, if this was a discussion about how to get SC to work on Linux, and you showed what worked for you, that's one thing, I probably wouldn't even say anything. But you've actually advertised this as a guide, something people might want to rely on. How often it is that people blindly follow such guides, but then when problems arise neither they, nor the author, nor any third party know what to do.
And the problems do arise, because people like to infer and assume things; only the next time the next game does not install or does not work or locks their computer up, etc. It's not about being elitist in 'da Linux way'. It's common sense: overcompilcated approach always creates more problems than it solves. This Linux desktop proliferation in the last decade created this huge fallacy that Linux is somehow easier and safer to use than Windows, which attracted a great deal of irresponsible light-minded users. Only it's not 'easier' nor is it 'safer'.
In some ways, desktop Linux is even more fragile than Windows. If one doesn't know what they're doing, don't think and blindly follow some guides, they can easily mess their system up.
And afterwards usually go back to Windows or Mac because 'Linux sucks'. Or they go on forums and start asking wrong questions, because they can't ask the right questions, because they had no idea what they were doing in the first place. And then they perceive the community as toxic, because someone wasn't nice after seeing the same sad story for the hundredth time, etc, etc. 'Kid' is as much a state of mind as it is age, so that wasn't an attack either. Well I don't have too much more to say on the subject of Starcraft, On the subject of advertising it as a guide, your probably right, I should change it to a working method. I think what most people perceive of Linux is a misconception both ways, I really dislike windows and mac equally, so I use Linux, I can't say its easier, nor is it safer in respective terms. In a way I would call Linux moral XD But again I don't really have to much to say anymore.
I'm not for you but not ageist your position ether. People who read this can take it or leave it, oh well.
May I share my experience? (as much as I remember) I installed both StarCraft Remastered and Starcraft II (and Heroes of the Storm too by the way, but I don't play it too much) on Linux Mint KDE 18.3 I installed both Wine and PlayOnLinux (but since the available version for my distro is wine 1.6 it was not of much use) So, once I installed PlayOnLinux, I went to the Wine management and I installed Wine 2.18-staging (32bit version, 64bit one didn't make things work) there. Once installed I configured Wine according to my needs (I think I used 'windows xp' functionality, but now it should work as 'Windows 7') then I used the 'install program' function and followed the steps to run the Blizzard App setup (Battle.net-Setup.exe) and installed it normally as if I were running on windows. Once I had Blizzard App running, I used it to install StarCraft Remastered and StarCraft II. I adjusted some wine settings (windows versions and such) and I launched it. I have been playing for a very long time on Linux and that's how I remember I had done it.
Starcraft 2 Linux 2019
(I have played all the campaigns in SC Remastered and all the SC2 Campaigns WoL, HotS, LotV, and even Nova Covert Ops.) This is the tutorial thread I used: I think most of the steps will work now, it's just a matter of using Wine Staging 2.18 or 2.21 instead of the one described there. There's a help thread here Another thread here Another one EDIT And there are many posts about Linux on the Patch 1.21.2 thread, perfectly visible to the Admins and Staff. Clearly there are several Linux users who play SC Remastered. Blizzard is obviously aware that we are using linux for a long time, they do not seem to be troubled by that. Besides, Wine is a compatibility layer that enables windows programs to run on Linux, we are not doing anything wrong. Starcraft Remastered works fine for me on Arch Linux with the staging version of WINE.
I didn't need to do anything special. Starcraft, in my experience, has historically been one of the games that always works well on Linux, although I do remember there was a long time where Battle.net menus were screwed up in Blizzard games running on WINE. So basically, i think 'pacman -S wine-staging' is the only thing I had to do, I have wine set to Windows 7, I am not sure if that matters. With a 2D game like Starcraft, in the scenario it didn't work with WINE, I would actually prefer to run a Windows VM rather than screw around with all the hacks that can go into making a broken WINE application usable. 05:08 PMPosted by Hm, let's just compare notes, shall we?
