The "suspend problem" seems to happen with all .exe files I've tried so far. Even the simple ones that in theory should work, like eg. notepad.exe. This is what it looks like: redpixel@lockdown:/dos/Program Files/Warcraft III %> /compat/linux/usr/bin/winex war3.exe zsh: suspended (signal) /compat/linux/usr/bin/winex war3.exe redpixel@lockdown:/dos/Program Files/Warcraft III %> fg [1] + continued /compat/linux/usr/bin/winex war3.exe wine: Unhandled exception, starting debugger... redpixel@lockdown:/dos/Program Files/Warcraft III %> uname -a FreeBSD lockdown.spectrum.fearmuffs.net 5.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #2: Wed Nov 27 23:08:11 CET 2002 redpixel@lockdown.spectrum.fearmuffs.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/LOCKDOWN i386 Needless to say, that signal wasn't sent by me :). > Using that, and moving the Movies directory to Movies.bak in the installed > warcraft directory, I am able to start it with: > > winex --dll quartz=n -- war3.exe (-opengl) > > The -opengl is optional. Have you tried this? I have now, and it doesn't cause any difference. The WineX process still gets suspended shortly after start-up. :( BTW, I'm using WineX 2.2a.
