           Summary: Starcraft / Brood War B.Net version checking and
                    registry
           Product: Wine
           Version: CVS
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P3
         Component: wine-misc
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.com
        ReportedBy: cloud1086 at hotmail.com


I am using Wine 20031016.

Sorry in advance if wine-misc is not the right category; it seemed to me to fit
several (wine-help, wine-directx, etc), so I put it in here.

First, when starcraft is installed, it plays an introduction movie on first run.
 Following this, it is supposed to refrain from playing this movie unless
requested to do so on the in-game menu.  I noticed that the movie played for the
first 3 or 4 times I loaded starcraft, then stopped playing (which is good, but
it should have only played once).  I made no changes, either to config or file
permissions, during this time.

Next, the problem that's been bugging me the most - my inability to play online
on Battle.net.  When I installed starcraft brood war, I downloaded BW-110.exe
(the latest v1.10 patch) and applied it successfully to the game.  Re-running
the patch shows a game version of 1.10.0.1, and says it's already the newest
version.

However, when I try to log on to Battle.net, it says that it is unable to detect
my application version, and disconnects me.  My real Brood War CD that I bought
accidentally got a huge scratch, so I am using my burned backup (I did buy the
StarCraft BattleChest and I have a real, non-revoked bnet cdkey).  However, this
*shouldn't* be the problem, as I know many people who play with backup CDs.

Any suggestions, or is this a bug that needs to be fixed?

Thanks!
