    @Exdozolie No this doesn’t override wine installation in the system. Just build a specific version of wine that palyonLinux will use to run starcraft. This will be used only by PlayOnLinux and will not mess up your system.

    @ingenticul The game in itself isn’t modified. wine is an implementation of windows libraries and system calls for linux. It’s making a bridge between both systems. This is legal as long as you have a legal copy of starcraft II .

    The game is working fine, including inline play. Performances are a bit lower than on a windows system, but still very good.

    The game isn’t modifies neither its behaviour. So this isn’t considered and detected as third party software.

    @lololololol English isn’t my main language. You should already be happy that I made the effort to speak your own language and not mine. Anyway, I plan to watch american dad soon, so I’ll discover what you are taling about.

    @famillefesty You can simply install flex from repository. But now, PlayOnLinux include everything to run starcraft II out of the box. So don’t loose your time and use that directly.

    @ingenticul as long as u buy the game they dont care, besides why are you worried about copyright laws when using linux?

    If anyone is having issues with Freetype 32bit Libraries (libs) using the wineInstaller on a 64 bit system. For Ubuntu 10.04 I used “sudo apt-get build-dep wine” and it resolved everything.

    I have a few questions please . Is this legal (does Blizzard consider this cracking or unauthorized modifying or something similar) ? Does the game work without bugs ? Is it possible to play online , or does the server see this instalation as a third party program , like a version modified for cheating for example? If the answer to the above questions is “yes” , I am totally joining linux. Thank you very much.
