Have you tried checking the Blizzard support site or forums? I actually have issues with the downloaded version of Starcraft I tried installing a few weeks ago but haven't taken the time to resolve them yet (I know the disc is somewhere but damned if I could find it right now). A quick glance at their support site at least offered me some stuff to try when I find the inclination. I know they'll probably have nothing about running it in Wine, but they may have some fixes for your XP issue.
Minor bumpage since MLG Raleigh is streaming this weekend: MLG Pro Circuit: Live
Watching the blue stream with Day[9] and Husky commentating right now. I probably won't see a lot until the videos show up in the archive, but still pretty cool to watch some live.
Oh sweet, will be watching.
I am not too sure about Linux, but is the game compatible with Windows XP? I can't remember the system requirements. I'm assuming it needs DX9 to run, does XP have that?
"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
It is compatible. Windows XP tops out at DX9, and a company would have to be a little crazy to not still release games that will run on it, though that may change in a few years with Windows 7 being quite popular.Originally Posted by Rostum
Ah ok, well I'm not sure. What are the errors you are getting? My only thoughts are that your computer just doesn't meet the requirements.

Just finished watching one badass series of games between Ret and Nada at MLG. Good god Nada may be the king of comebacks after the last two games.
Yeah those matches were intense!
"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
I'll give the install another shot next time I have some free time. I will admit-- my computer is getting pretty dated. I've run it in the past, though, all on lowest settings.
The grand final matches between Coca and Bomber were pretty awesome. I honestly thought Bomber was going to lose the second match, but he managed to hang in there quite well and end up winning. The last one seemed way too easy for Bomber though.
"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
I only caught maybe the last two minutes of that so I'll have to watch it when the separate videos all go up eventually.
I did catch Idra playing yesterday, taking the first game and then having two quick losses after in the usual, Idra seemed to gg because he got pissed off sort of way. I won't deny Idra is a great player, but the more I see of him the less I like him as a person. Seems rather full of himself in interviews, and has a tendency to quit when things don't go his way. I can understand if he all in's and fails, but the first game I saw him quit yesterday he had a failed push at the other guys base but he didn't seem to be in a terrible spot. I certainly saw some other players either turn around, or almost turn around worse situations than the one he was in.
So I was perusing the archives of Day[9] dailies and came across an early one about a 2v2v2v2 BGH game in Brood War that I figured was worth sharing. I spent most of it cracking up at how awesome it is. I think you'll appreciate this one as well Pike. It reminded me of just why Brood War was so damn awesome.

BGH! Best map ever!
I'm gonna add Vivi and Rostum. I don't play as often as I did a year ago but I do pop on now and then, and still watch Day9 religiously.
He cried last night!
JKTrix@792 for anyone else. I roll Protoss. I'm not that good.
