Make sure you already have WINE installed by running:Įxpand the “Warcraft III” device and click “Open with File Manager”.įrom the file manager application that opened, you can click the URL to find out the location where the CD has been mounted. We’ll be using WINE, so the steps are going to be pretty much the same as “ Running Legacy Windows Programs on Linux with WINE“, although this will be tailored for Warcraft III. I won’t be covering the recent remaster, Warcraft III: Reforged. In this article, I’ll show how to set up the original Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and its expansion Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne on Linux, assuming you have the original CDs. In the case of Warcraft III, only the cinematics don’t seem to work on Linux (more on this further below). Over the past week, I’ve played through the Bonus (Orc) Campaign of the Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne expansion… on Linux! It’s both surprising and delightful how many games that could previously run only on Windows can nowadays be run on Linux with little trouble, especially since Windows 10 is no longer able to run some of those older games.
