Good news, editor and game perfectly working on wine (latest staging version), in latest ubuntu (19.04).
How to install:
- setup latest nvidea drivers,
lutris/lutris
- setup wine staging (i try this on stable and develop, working only on staging at this moment)
- configure wine with 64bit prefix
- in winetricks add lib vcrun2015 (nothing more needed). Additionally you can install core fonts.
- download battle.net app
- run $ wine64 Battle.net-Setup.exe
- install battle.net, login to account
- download warcraft 3 PTR installed from blizzard site
- run $ wine64 Warcraft-III-Public-Test-Setup.exe
- install wc3 to default directory (program files)
- now install lutrise
- open lutrise and add game/editor with this options
-- Executable = /home/<username>/wine/drive_c/Program Files/Warcraft III Public Test/x86_64/Warcraft III.exe
-- Arguments = -nativefullscr
-- Working Directory = /home/<username>/wine/drive_c/Program Files/Warcraft III Public Test/x86_64/
-- Wine preifx = ~/wine
-- Arch = 64-bit
(paths may be different)
In runner options tab, specify checkbox on "Enable DXVK" (or game will crash on start video after 3-4 seconds)
All working perfectly.
For editor, change executable path in lutrise to /home/<username>/wine/drive_c/Program Files/Warcraft III Public Test/x86_64/World Editor.exe
