With 1.28.3, Blizzard added a new common installer and launcher for both Reign of Chaos and The Frozen Throne.

The old PlayOnLinux scripts do not work for Warcraft III 1.28.3+.

If you use the installer you can download from battle.net (by using your key) you get a never version of the installer.

I manage to fix this by changing over to 1.9.4 (don't know If you can run the cd with this version)

Hope you update or make a new installer for the battle.net download :-)

Runs well but on my computer it seems to open in a window size i had not configured. With this window size I could not play the game, I inserted an unconnected VGA cable and that changed the window size so I could access the menu and options and change the resolution.
