Here is a nice hack to play the classic Warcraft III @ 1920x1080

Warcraft III has been around for a while. I remember the day that it came out clearly. An old friend of mine, a Warcraft II master, was desperate to buy his copy on release day. No pun intended, but there was a Blizzard outside.

My car was not very well suited for this adventure. I had a Hyundai Tiburon at the time that sat pretty low to the ground from the factory. I couldn’t see anything on the road, and halfway between my apartment and Wal-Mart I had driven the car along a curb and became immobile. We had to call DTSH (doesn’t like to have his real name used) to pull us out with his ’67 Bronco.

The funny part is, I can’t remember if we managed to get the game that day. Regardless, I am ready to play through the campaign, finally, and as soon as I started it up I noticed that it only support 4:3 resolutions. Sign of the times, really. My monitor is wide and 1920×1080.

So, let’s fire up PlayOnLinux and get going.
