2.0.x no longer live by Bleeter Yaluser on Saturday August 18th 2007, 4:40 Can someone close this down? 2.1.x is the current live version.

Never gets to login by Martin on Wednesday August 8th 2007, 17:49 Hi all, First here is my system... SuSE Enterprise Desktop 10.0 Kernel 2.6.16 1.8Ghz AMD 1G DDR GEForce4 MX Integrated 128M Driver 1.0.9631 Wine 0.9.42 Initial: I have never played WoW so I have no idea what indications are good or bad. Observations: I was able to install WoW without any problems using wine 0.9.31, however the launcher was never able to update itself, even after enabling all ports. When running wow.exe, I would see the initial startup screen to the point where I could see the first .avi, but I have never been able to login. I updated my nvidia drivers and wine, so now the launcher operates, and updated, perfectly, but I have no visuals when pressing "play". Before doing all of the updates, a "CONFIG.wtf" was never created, yet after the update process one was created. When using the -d3d option my cursor changes to a gauntlet. When using the -opengl the application hangs. I have created a registry key, updated the dlls, and added the various lines in the configuration file. Any and all ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Works Fine ..... by Dusty on Monday July 9th 2007, 6:26 [quote]Wine 0.9.36 was released today (27/Apr/07). Wow is still working fine except for the ongoing problem with it crashing. If I run wine on a Suse 10.2 system (no 3D desktop) in a virtual window the game plays fine until I move the virtual window. Within 30 seconds the whole screen has frozen. Nothing responds to a mouse click, you can't even use CTRL-ALT-F1 to F6 to bring up another login so you can shutdown the system cleanly. You just have hit the reset button. The workaround is "DONT MOVE THE VIRTUAL WINDOW ABOUT". Whether this is a problem when wine is run without a virtual window (ie Wow full screen) I don't know yet. This test was also done on ATI 9550 hardware so whether this problem exists for Nvidia or Intel hardware I don't know. Please let us know if you experience the same thing or something similar. This problem was present in 0.9.35/36. I'm not sure if it was present in 0.9.34. Any feedback appreciated.[/quote] I am having a similar problem. Fedora Core 6 P4 HT 3.2GHz 512MB/RAM. Wine 3.9.39 When using any program in Wine, when I exit a program such as Quicken 2005 or IE6, the ENTIRE system halts. All the way to the mouse. I have to actually do a hard boot to get going again. This only happens after I have exited the program I'm running in Wine. This problem started the same day I install the ATI proprietary drivers for my system. This is the only problem I've ran into so far. Everything else runs fine. 27/Apr/07 NL [post new] [reply to this]

Working fine except exiting. by Kristian Wedmark on Wednesday July 4th 2007, 11:08 The game is running just fine for me. Only thing that doesn't work for me that I have tried (and have been mentioned before) is it isn't possible to change gfx settings ingame and I can't exit the game properly. Seems like the game is exiting since the settings are saved only when game exits normally and all settings is saved when i start the game next time. But it doesn't close properly so I have to kill it. [post new] [reply to this]

WoW with wine 0.9.40 by David Wagoner on Monday July 2nd 2007, 8:50 Overall WoW runs really well under wine but there are a few issues im having that i wanted to list. - random infrequent crashes on loading new zone. ex: zone into a BG, instance, etc. - if compiz is running under gnome, both gnome panels appear on top of WoW when its fullscreened. - in WoW under windows and cedega, you can press the alt key and use an ability on yourself without having to switch your target, this doesnt work in wine yet. Other than that it works great so if it got a little attention for wine 0.9.41, it'd be fine. [post new] [reply to this]

what have u done? by Mike on Sunday July 1st 2007, 20:02 well i had wine 0.9.39 on my suse, wich were in my repo's. now i have newer version 0.9.40 or newer, and i have big problem. i cannot login with my hunter. only with other characters. when the login is completed and the game map should show up, then it hangs. wine gives me this error constantly: fixme:d3d:IWineD3DQueryImpl_GetData >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GL_INVALID_OPERATION (0x50 2) from glGetQueryObjectuivARB(GL_QUERY_RESULT_AVAILABLE) i tried to install 0.9.39 again but it isnt available anymore on suse 10.2 repo's. i also thought it was my nvidia driver, so i switched back to the older one. still no succes. It only works in OpenGL again now, but that sucks, cause the mousespeed isnt accurate and i cant change video/audio settings anymore,like in D3d mode. could u please fix it soon? or provide the 0.9.39 version back in the suse repo's!

Wine 0.9.39 by David Wagoner on Thursday June 21st 2007, 13:26 This version of wine works even better than the last. The only issue i noted is that in some areas, there are some texture issues in d3d mode such as in Zangalmarsh where sometimes the mushrooms arent displayed or parts of armor go missing. I also noted that using the ALT key ingame to cast a spell or ability on yourself in a fullscreen session doesnt work yet.

THANK YOU GUYS! by Mike on Sunday June 17th 2007, 17:02 Hello, i am mike, and i live in the netherlands. i use a pentium 4 ,2,4ghz intel processor and 1GB of ram. i run Opensuse 10.2 and i just updated to the latest WINE today. i had some problems with world of warcraft, and copied the WTF folder from WoW from my windows partition, so i could set it up later for OpenGL in Linux. But after watching TV i forgot and i started up in Direct X mode. But everything worked even better than in windows. The mouse problem in the game is also gone! perfect!last week everything was still stuttering and unplayable in Direct X mode. I even have 10 frames per second more in the game running under WINE then under windows now! So i just want to shout out a BIG Thank YOU to the WINE HQ Team! keep up the good work!

works great in general by David Wagoner on Wednesday June 13th 2007, 10:24 So wine 0.9.38 works great for me in general, only has a few minor issues. I currently run WoW in opengl mode, when viewing textures far way, the shading looks off a little bit. My mouse cursor seems to lag a little if i use cedega, i can press the alt key and then it will let me cast a spell on myself. this doesnt work in wine. sometimes the sound gets choppy, i am using the alsa output. any possible fixes for these?

Works wonderfully by Stephanie "Pike" on Friday June 8th 2007, 10:26 I've been playing WoW: Burning Crusade on Kubuntu 6.06 (Dapper) for over a month now and I'm super impressed, the game works near flawlessly. Framerate is great, gameplay is smooth, sound (ALSA) is perfect.

failure to launch by chuck simmons on Saturday June 2nd 2007, 23:49 Installed ubuntu feisty fawn today. Downloaded Wine using synoptics. Had problems with the black screen of death. That went away when I was playing around with turning on desktop background effects which installed the nVidia driver. Got Wow copied to the disk. Started it up with wine. Got the patches downloaded. Got through the login screen; selected my character and entered the world. Bug: both the Unix cursor and the WoW mailed glove display side by side; the Unix cursor shouldn't be present. The timing bar at the bottom of the screen goes to 100% and then things get bad. First time, wine output told me to use sound emulation instead of hardware, but also looked like a couple of threads were deadlocking (thread x blocked by thread y, retry in 60 seconds), and eventually WoW crashed. I used Winecfg to change the sound settings to emulation. Second time wine complained of sound buffer underruns. Various clicks emitted from the speakers. I used control-c to kill wine.

Sigh... Network Problems Now by Jay Bloodworth on Wednesday May 30th 2007, 8:18 I had believed that I had traced my WoW problems to a heat issue, after having played for 2.5 hours Monday morning with the case open and no issues. However, after installing an extra fan to cool the GPU, I am seeing network problems. Many times I get stuck in the login process; other times I get in but have horrible latency - the game seems to manage just a second or two of communication with the server every thirty or so (if that). The entire network subsystem seems affected, not just WoW; An open ssh session from another PC on my LAN is showing 10-15 sec latency as well. On top of all that, I'm seeing frame rate and sound stutters and the soft lock on logout again. To install the fan, I had to remove a modem and move the wireless card to a new slot. I have removed the fan and moved the wifi card back with no improvement. I guess I'll try to reinstall the modem which will put the PC back in the last state that worked - I guess its absence might be affecting how the PCI bus allocates resources. I know that many of my symptoms suggest hardware failure, but the network thing is so different from what I've seen before that it makes me question that. I think my plan now is to wait for FC7 and/or a new version of wine and see if that helps. Not that I would turn down suggestions in the meantime. Thanks, Jay PS - Two quick, relatively more straightforward questions: 1) Does the it matter which Windows version wine emulates? 2) Are any native win32 dlls needed? I have a bunch in my drive_c/windows/system32 directory that I think I put there because the install instructions I used a year ago said I needed them. [post new] [reply to this]

Sound Issues + Crashes by Jay Bloodworth on Monday May 14th 2007, 17:56 At some point in the last month, my up til now very robust installation of WoW has become very finicky. These are the main symptoms: 1) Occasional jumpiness of the entire app, as if the game were starved for CPU time. This is not just lag (I don't think) or just low frame rate. The sound will stop, the screen will freeze, then a second or two later everything will start back up again, with the game state suitably advanced (my toon and others moved or turned, etc). This happens mostly in cities, but again I've never experienced anything like it before, even in big crowds. 2) Stuttering sound. I've always gotten this a little and have never really experimented with SoundBuffers to fix it, but it has gotten much worse recently. I've tried switching to OSS sound (I usually use ALSA) but it doesn't seem to help. 3) Sometimes the sound poops out completely. This has happened two ways: Outdoors (specifically the Hinterlands) the sound gets stuck in a short loop that plays over and over. In an instance (Sunken Temple), the sound is entirely muted - no music, no effects, nothing. In either case, the game otherwise remain playable, but when I attempt to exit the game and get the 20 second countdown dialog, if I click on the "Exit Immediately" button the game freezes. I've never let the countdown run down on it's own, but if I logout instead I can drop to the character selection screen and exit successfully from there. From the locked up game I can Ctrl-Alt-F1 to a console and kill the game from there. 4) The game just locks up, everything freezes, including the cursor, though the sound keeps playing a short loop. From this type of lockup, I can't hotkey to a console and must reboot manually. These problems have been very intermittent. 2) is most common, followed by 1) (when in cities). I can play for hours without encountering 3) or 4), but each occurred several times last night in a three hour run of Sunken Temple. I can't narrow down the time frame these started occurring very precisely, as I been playing very sporadically over the past few weeks and have downloaded a number of Fedora updates to the kernel and to wine in that time. I know there are a lot of symptoms here with very little diagnostic information, but does any of this sound familiar to anyone?

Hangs inside building in 0.33 by Mike Charlton on Thursday March 29th 2007, 19:11 I'm running on an older AMD (can't remember off hand what it is), GeForce 5200, 512 megs memory. With 0.31 everything worked flawlessly. With 0.33 I'm getting hanging inside buildings. Strangely enough it is in specific points inside buildings (i.e., I can reliably hang every time I walk over that spot). Walking on other spots in the building doesn't hang. I can unhang things by quickly switching consoles (i.e. to a non-X console on Linux) and back. Very strange.

SuSE 10.2 - Patching error by Ford on Saturday March 17th 2007, 21:04 Hey, Had some big problems with the Blizzard Updater. It just said "waiting for files to close" after the downloader had finished. Read on a number of forums where the remedy should be to change the winecfg to NT4.0 when running the updater. Well this did not work for me. What DID work was to sit back and wait (making sure that the "finished" button was pressed on the downloader). I just alt-tab'ed out and browsed for a minute or two and then the program shuts down. After that the updater could do its work. =) [post new] [reply to this]

Intel 950 report by Mike Charlton on Wednesday March 14th 2007, 18:51 Since I didn't see anyone post any details with an Intel 950 (945 GM chipset), I thought I would. Details: Toshiba Setellite A-100 T8 Intel Core Duo 2400 1.83 Ghz 1200x800 resolution 1 Gig ram Wine version 0.9.32 Everything works as expected. D3D plays almost perfectly (some objects have visual glitches when turning). OpenGL works as reported by others (white mini-map when in a building, corrupted icons -- potions and stuff). Framerate: 6.9 fps in Darnassus. In both modes :-) So not quite playable yet. Normally in Windows I turn the multisampling down to 16 bits and get about 20-30 fps. I tried that in D3D mode and it didn't seem to make much of a difference. Also, I tried the registry hack and it actually slowed me down about 1 fps. No changes to the config file seemed to change the framerate. [post new] [reply to this]

Mouse lag by K3nt on Monday March 12th 2007, 20:18 When i run WoW with wine, it appears to be giving me only two problems. I have severe mouse lag (#1 problem), and it refuses to run while beryl is active (i only get a black screen). Another very minor issue is that i am unable to get it to run in wndowed mode. Either windowed mode or beryl-compatibility would be nice. If anybody can help, please do. thanks [post new] [reply to this]

I can't click on anything inside the game world by Viktor Balogh on Saturday March 10th 2007, 13:53 I have wine-0.9.32 The speed is fine, I haven't experienced crashes or corruption yet. But I can't click on a single thing in the game world, like NPCs, or mailboxes, but I can click on everything in the interface. I don't see any suspicious messages in the console... maybe the 'preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-60000000' message has something to do with it. (I get that message with the latest wine, and not only when I start wow, even if I try to run simple applications, like regedit, or winecfg) If you need some more information just tell me how to get it, cause I'm kinda new to linux :) [post new] [reply to this]

tearing w/ lcd screen by brett taylor on Saturday March 10th 2007, 13:14 i'm running wow on gentoo amd64/wine 0.9.29, and everything works great, but I am getting a lot of tearing because WoW cannot limit my fps to 60 even with vsync enabled.

Minimap still broken by Chris on Friday March 9th 2007, 12:20 3rd post, no replies, first post 2 1/2 weeks ago. Minimap problems persist when going inside buildings, crashes WoW X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 145 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent) Serial number of failed request: 517 Current serial number in output stream: 517 I'd love to use the so called "linux minimap addon" but it seems they stopped maintaining it when this problem was "fixed", so it no longer works in 2.x Per earlier post, turning off double buffering makes screen jerky and game unplayable when entering a building.

Error: Install a 3D accelerator card with dual-TMU support by Dnor on Thursday March 8th 2007, 17:25 I've run WoW many times in the past using wine on Fedora Core 6.

WoW Mapviewer/Model Viewer by Bryan Haskins on Wednesday February 28th 2007, 20:06 I thought everyone might like to know that WoW model/map viewer DO in fact work well with wine. Here's the catch. The program is designed for a windows system, the programs use OpenGL rendering, so they assume you have all default opengl extensions enabled, hint hint, you have to alow the generally disabled and buggy extension. This means the performance of mapviewer and model viewer also is less than it would be without this extension enabled. But if you are so inclined you can manually switch it on and off in the wine registry as needed. [post new] [reply to this]

Strange problems using 9xxx drivers with wow by W. Gantert on Tuesday February 27th 2007, 12:24 Never had any problems with wine+wow (well any problems except some everyone had), but with release of nvidias 9xxx-Series I started having some of my own. Using Release 8776 WoW works like a charm. using any 9xxx-Release (and I tested everyone) lets my framerate drop to below 1 fps, except when looking on the floor, where it remans a steady 60 fps. Anybody else noticed/solved/circumvented this problem? Not sure if it's a driverbug or a winebug, for glxgears has no drop in fps. Hell, I'm not sure if it is even a bug :) Kernel: 2.6.20 (but persists since 2.6.16) Distri: Gentoo Graphics: Geforce 6600GT Wine: 0.9.24? - 0.9.31 [post new] [reply to this]

2.0.10 patch issues [with probable fix] by James Twyford on Friday February 23rd 2007, 23:55 The 2.0.10 patch currently breaks the UI acceleration Blizzard gave us in 2.0.5, breaking all of the hotbutton/inventory icons. What's working for me right now is running the commands: /console SET UIFaster "2" /console reloadui From the 2.0.5 Patch notes: ------ - Created an option to disable UI Acceleration for users of select video cards experiencing graphical corruption of the User Interface. To use this option, enter the following line to the Config.wtf file, located in the WTF subfolder of the game: Set UIFaster “x” Where x equals: 0 – This turns off all UI acceleration 1 – For Internal Use Only - DO NOT USE! 2 – Enables partial UI acceleration only. 3 – Enables all UI acceleration. Example: Set UIFaster “2” Note: For users experiencing graphical corruption of the User Interface, it is recommended to try option 2 in order to correct the problem. If this does not solve the issue, then use option 0 to disable all UI Acceleration. ------ "2" works for me, it may be necessary to drop to "0". I still dunno what changed graphically 2.0.8 and 2.0.10 (that was a 1.3MB patch...) but something's broken. [post new] [reply to this]

Beating the dead horse of minimap problem... by Chris on Tuesday February 20th 2007, 20:34 Hello all... Probibly getting tired of hearing this from everybody, but I'm having minimap woes also... Fedora Core 6 1GB ram AGP video card, NVidia chipset, 512mb on card 3GB Pentium 4 Prescott processor Newest nvidia drivers installed Wine 0.9.30 installed Okay, 98% of the game works fine.. graphics options, etc.. great. Setting the distance detail anywhere beyond the bare minimum suddenly makes the framerate -choke-, but I guess I can live w/ the minimum. However, like others, entering a building causes the minimap to freak out and crash WoW. I've read elsewhere that disabling double buffering fixes the problem, and that's my method for getting out of indoors if I "screw up" and end up inside. However, it's of note that if I turn off dub. buffering, the screen is extremely jittery, to the point of not playable pretty much.. only turn it off long enough to get out of building, then turn it back on and restart WoW. I pulled down my version of Wine from the Fedora repos, and I'd kind of like to keep it that way. I guess what I'm saying is, there's supposidly some type of patch I've heard about that involved installing from source, and I could probibly go that route, but there's no guarentee it will work for me, and then I wouldn't be able to easilly update wine via yum.. don't wanna make things worse than it already is. I've also done the registry hack to increase framerate.. honestly didn't really notice a big improvement. So, question is, what's the easiest way to make the minimap work indoors (or at the very least make it so I don't have to collapse it before I head inside)? Sorry to beat a dead horse but, there it is. :) [post new] [reply to this]

OpenGL Mouse Movement Issue by Aaron on Sunday February 18th 2007, 1:49 Okay, I've been searching everywhere for this issue, being related to just WoW under Wine as well as an OpenGL issue with Wine, but I can't find anything about it (So I hope it's not just me). At first I thought the system would hang, it appeared as if everything had frozen, but I could SSH into the system and see that nothing was really going on, upon killing WoW.exe the system returns to normal. When running WoW in a window instead of full screen as long as I don't move the mouse over the WoW window nothing "Hangs" but nothing responds unless I move the mouse around, even WoW responds when the mouse is moving, as long as I move the mouse around (not in the WoW window) everything moves around just fine, I can even log into WoW and play it (Without a mouse the "Playing" is really not very good). Exiting WoW the system returns to being its responsive self without having to move the mouse around. My only clues are that there's some sort of event that Wine's waiting for based on mouse movement that is somehow intertwined with it's drawing of OpenGL frames. Anybody else have this happen?

DisabledExtensions trick not applied by Murasame on Tuesday February 6th 2007, 10:59 Just to tell you my experience with WoW on linux using wine. Some time ago I've upgraded my old GeForce 4 Ti4200 128 Mb with a new GeForce 7600 GS 256 Mb, before doing this I've used to do the DisabledExtensions trick to boost my fps but after the change and the last patch before the 2.0.x series, it's dropped below unacceptable levels (about 5-7 fps). I've tried downgrading wine and the driver versions without any luck. My last chance before giving up was to remove the DisabledExtensions key and everything returned as normal exept for the WoW engine that seems to me heavier that before 2.0.x series.

Strange FPS drop concerning fog by Florian on Monday January 22nd 2007, 15:07 WoW/BC all in all runs fine on my system with one exception. If I walk from undercity towards brill the fps drops from ~35 to ~15 when brill comes into view. With BC I stareted a bloodelf and the same drop appears all over the bloodelf territory when buildings come into view, but are still covered by fog (this is as far as I can pin the problem done). Today I did some quests within Deatholme which is all over covered by fog... and the FPS dropped as soon as I could look through the gate on some of the buildings within. I then tried to change the camera angle to not look onto a building and the FPS got up. I tried to change resolution and details, but it didn't help. Everything is working fine except this little but annoying detail. My System is an ASUS A7Jc Notebook: - ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 with 256MB - Ubuntu Edgy - Wine .29 (source is pointing to winhq, so it is the recent build) - playing in opengl - I added the following lines to the xorg.conf to get WoW to work Option "Capabilities" "0x00000800" Option "UseFastTLS" "off" Option "KernelModuleParm" "locked-userpages=0" - Registry Key is set (unplayable without it ;) ) I would greatly appreciate any hint.

TBC Installation by AlanJ on Monday January 15th 2007, 12:18 Installation for TBC works exactly the same as per normal WoW (ie you can either feed CDs one at a time or copy all the files to a directory and run the install program). One thing I found which may or may not be linux specific is a problem with the update program. Copy all the different versions of bnupdate.exe somewhere safe. I say this because after installing TBC it has to re-patch to 2.0.3, 2.0.4 and 2.0.5. For the first two it wouldn't start because it was waiting for the files to close, stopping the process and copying one of the bnupdate.exe files over the one in the directory and updating manually (wine bnupdate) worked but firing up wow and letting it do it automatically failed everytime.

Runs great but no sound. by Mike Wagner on Saturday January 6th 2007, 21:30 I'm running Wine 9.28 under Edgy Eft, OpenGL mode with pixel shaders disabled. WoW is running great. I did a Blackfathom Depths run with no problems, flew around to various locations, and only encountered a flash of green geometry in a lit zone in Undercity. Very impressive work folks :) I'm having a bitch of a time with sound though :( I've got an Intel HDA sound chip onboard and it works great on the desktop but no luck with wine/Wow. Didn't matter what config I chose I get the following error when trying to access the audio tab in winecfg.

So I disabled the onboard sound and went with a SB Live. It also works great at the desktop, but not in WoW. I've tried various combinations in wineconfig (ALSA, OSS, driver emulation on/off) and trying to tweak the Config.wtf.

Crazy Camera Issue with latest WoW patch (2.0.1) by Britt Torrance on Saturday January 6th 2007, 20:34 I just installed World of Warcraft under Wine 0.9.28 in Ubuntu 6.10. Everything seemed to be going fine until I applied the latest patch (2.0.1), at which I have encountered a massive graphical error. Like most users, I have to disable PixelShaders in winecfg to keep the program from freezing my desktop. With this disabled, I can at least enter World of Warcraft main menu. However, performance is very poor and the camera seems to be pointing at a very strange angle! For instance, on the main login screen all I can see is the top right portion of the Dark Gate. In the character section I am actually looking up my undead warlock's robes, which is a tad bit uncomfortable. I have integrated intel graphics (855GM) on a toshiba laptop.

Gentoo ~x86 wine 0.9.28 wow 2.0.x by Alistair on Friday December 29th 2006, 4:51 Gentoo -> beyond 2.6.18-r3 wine -> 0.9.28 ATI fglrx -> 08.32.3 WHO!! who whoooo fixed the minimap!!! YAY!!! (hugs/cheers/kisses, heck, I'll buy a round at the bar!!) FYI -- the speed increase seen by the registry DisabledExtensions setting has come back after being missing for me from 0.9.24 series -- and the horrid crashes I had in 0.9.27 are (apparently) gone -- although I'll know better saturday morning after a run through Uldaman.

RE: 0.9.28 crashes pretty hard by asheron on Wednesday December 27th 2006, 12:44 where do u get this error bc i get the exact same thing. I get it when the loading screen appears to get in game. I have had this prob since .27, but i have also been using -d3d to run the game pretty damn good, heh my charac and the environment gets semi transparent some times, but other than that i can and have been doing mara, ST, and ZF. Heh at least i can play the game ya know? ^.^ [post new] [reply to this]

RE: 0.9.28 crashes pretty hard by Jeff Grant on Wednesday December 27th 2006, 9:34 Switched back to a patched 0.9.20, and it works 100%. There's something in 0.9.28 that makes my graphics perform horribly. Indoors, no problems - but as soon as I step outside, the framerate drops to about 1-10. Just a quick FYI. -Jeff [post new] [reply to this]

0.9.28 still works fine by Josh Young on Tuesday December 26th 2006, 19:10 I haven't noticed any problems with upgrading from 0.9.25,26,27,or 28. Just wanted to list that here so people can see that. It could be related to something else. cough...ATI drivers I use nVidia 7600GS and I never have problems in Linux with games in wine or native unless it was related to core system issues, but never related to the drivers I was using for my video card. Only issue I have so far that I'm sure is listed somewhere, is the sound glitches. That I have noticed is only happening because the CPU is maxing out and cutting out the sound. Usually when background programs run. [post new] [reply to this]

RE: OpenGL Problem by Ghotcom on Sunday December 24th 2006, 11:29 Hello, I have been getting the same error in wine-0.9.28 with WoW-2.0.1. Whenever I change the resolution in game, the game crashes, and when I change it in Config.wtf, the game will start, but will crash on some actions. [post new] [reply to this]

by GGoossen on Friday December 22nd 2006, 11:39 OpenGL (nVidia OpenGL drivers): 0.9.25-0.9.27: login and character selection oke, but crashes at the end of the loading screen. 0.9.22: works (7-10 fps) I'm doing a git bisect to find out what broke it. D3D: 0.9.26: works (15-20 fps) 0.9.27: works, but strange graphics (as described in a previous comment) misc: the framerates are much lower then on windows (i still need to measure the framerate on windows). occasional sound buffer underrun. Switching console and back (CTRL+ALT+FX) leaves me with a black screen. Original resolution not restored after closing wow. Harware: GeForce4 MX 440 AMD Sempron 1.7GHz [post new] [reply to this]

Driver Issue, Possibly by Chris Bergeron on Friday December 22nd 2006, 11:26 For reference, this is what happened prior to the current ATI driver release (as of 12/21/06). With the latest driver, D3D will load and, on an underperforming card, be incredibly slow. OpenGL won't work, it gives a game generated error to the affect of "no 3D system found". Don't know if that helps. It might be an issue with ATI's driver, as an identical system with a nVidia card/drivers works flawlessly in OpenGL, somewhat slower in D3D in my case.

RE: OpenGL Problem by AlanJ on Friday December 22nd 2006, 3:25 What NVIDIA drivers do you use? A 132 normally means there was a read/write violation with your memory, if you have memtest86 installed try giving it an hour running that to see if it shows up any memory errors, if it does then you may have a dodgy memory chip. If the memory is ok then it could be a problem with the graphics card or the graphics drivers. [post new] [reply to this]

DisabledExtensions key and changed the operating environment to XP... if I try D3D I get crazy textures... everything is transparent and I see the sky/sea background through everythin. if I try opengl it crashes after character selection during the loading screen (at about 75% or so) any help? running P4 2.6 on a toshiba craptop with a nvidia 440 go GPU [post new] [reply to this]

WoW doesn't even run by captain skyhawk on Saturday December 16th 2006, 19:42 Ever since I moved up to Ubuntu 6.10, WoW won't even start up... anybody else having this problem? I've tried reinstalling my video drivers (I think), and reinstalling wine, to no avail. At first, WoW would crash and show the crash reporting app (the one that sends info to Blizzard) -- now, I just click on it to run it with wine, i get about 5 seconds of disk activity, and then... nothing. I've got a ATI x700, but I used to have it working with a 9200se with openGL. [post new] [reply to this]
