Warcraft 3 reforged - terrible fps in menus/system freezes

Support

HI. uber noob to linux here

I installed warcraft 3 reforged succesfully using your page here on lutris. installation was succesful, but on the menu FPS is just plain awful and often freezes up my whole system for 30 seconds at a time. once im in game there is no porblem, but if i freeze during a game starting it usually results in me dropping.

anyway here is what you requested in your sticky.

I don’t know if that’s causing your freezing (it would cause intro and possibly embedded videos to not play) but evidently your game needs the Microsoft “Media Foundation” libraries. Some games actually need the libraries extracted from Microsoft cabinet files, not the reverse engineered ones. Apparently that’s an Unreal Engine 5 remaster, so yeah.
