I own an original Warcraft Battle chest ( includes Reign of Chaos and Frozen Throne battle) and was able to install ROC just using the " open with wine Windows Program loader" option via rightclick on the installation.exe file
However, No matter what folder I put the installation.exe file of Frozen Throne, it keeps popping up with the WC3 pop up window telling me I must buy ROC.
The same result happens regardless of the wine prefix location being the same as the successful ROC installation or a different prefix or different installation location attempt and also regardless of using Lutris too.
How do I get my Mint 19.1 cinnamon 64 bit system to get the Frozen Throne installation wizard to recognize that I already installed ROC? Iāve googled this and keep hitting nothing but air on this one.
wine --version is 4.0 but I have multiple installing using Lutris if that matters
I thought about just doing a Windows 7 or newer VM be it Virtual box or Vmware but canāt even get VMware to the point of just launching it TO set up the vm, and canāt figure out how to passthrough my rx 580 8GB vid card to it with trying to use my older r7 270 amd vid card on the linux host machine.
Tried Chris Titus techās instructions but terminal keeps saying iommu functionality is not available
cpu 4790k VT-D IS supportedā¦check
mobo asrock z97m pro4 supports VT-D check and I ensured all things involving virtualization are enabled ( VT-Dā¦hyper v, as well as the igpu for kicks n giggles)
All vga output devices ( rx580, r7 270 and the intel igpu) are showing up with lspci ā¦whatever as they normal should
Ideas? Iād prefer to figure this out natively without dealing with a VM if possible. So far this old but great classic game is the only one giving me the hassle.
