Hi!
Hardware:
Asus N61Jq, i7, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5730 (1024MB)
Here is how I was able to get sc2 HOTS to work on linuxmint 15:
1) remove all wine and playonlinux packages.
2) remove all ATI and graphics drivers and install the proprietary ATI drivers like that: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Raring_Installation_Guide
3) install playonlinux 4.1.1 (this is the version from the standard software manager)
4) download the sc2-client-installer from the battle.net
4) open playonlinux > install > Starcraft 2 Wings Of Liberty (yes, WOL! It works with HOTS, too!) > use the battle.net installer
5) Hit "install" on the sc2 launch-screen, wait for the game download to complet (100%)
6) close sc2-launcher > the playonlinux installer should finish
At this point I had several problems:
1. Problem: Black Screen on start-up, I see mouse-cursor, but cannot do anything
Solution: re-install drivers (remove them first as mentioned in step 2)
2. Problem: sc2 crashs on first login-attempt and then always at the login-screen with "An unexpected fatal error occurred"
Solution: open playonlinux > SC2 WOL > configure > add wine version 1.70 > select 1.70
3. Problem: Cursor on wrong monitor captured so that I cannot use the sc2 interface.
Solution: disable 2nd monitor from catalyst.
4. Problem: qwertz in chats etc, but qwerty as hotkeys in game.
Solution: launch script:
#!/bin/bash
setxkbmap -model logicink -layout us -variant
sleep 10 && setxkbmap -model logicink -layout de,us -variant
/usr/share/playonlinux/playonlinux --run "StarCraft II Wings of Liberty"
That runs fine and I am able to play sc2 again :) :) yeah!
Maybe that helps someone! :)
