World of Warcraft Classic - Goes live August 26th, 2019 - 3:00 PDT for US regions. Vanilla wow reborn, with some code improvements, but the complete look and feel of WoW Vanilla. Relive the original, and make new friends. Name reservation is open now, for up to 3 characters, horde or alliance, that were around in vanilla. No servers will allow horde and alliance on the same account, but you can put horde on one server and alliance on another. Join the classic movement.

The black screen issue with Battle.Net do not pose a problem for WoW Classic. In fact, if you have an up to date installation of WoW Classic, manually running the game works perfectly.

At the same time, others (not on wine) are complaining now about a lot of recent "empty updates" in the battle.net installer for wow. I'm guessing something is broken or weird on wow's end, but it's much worse for wine.
So now I just keep the game open, and if I close it I have to:
1. Move off the existing wow folder
2. Re-launch battle.net and re-install wow from scratch (8GB download)
3. Copy over the Interface and WTF folders (so I don't lose all my settings)
4. Launch wow and keep it open.

runs ok too, but you need to have dxvk and run with -d3d11, e.g. wine WowClassic.exe -d3d11

Wine 5.0.3
I run the wine World-of-Warcraft-Setup.exe, and everything seems to go fine, but when I get to the login screen, the buttons and text are missing below. I can mouse around in that window and see where the buttons are by watching how the cursor changes, and I can get logged in, but then run into the same problem at the next window, where I see nothing but a black box where I'm guessing there is some html that isn't being displayed.
Here is an example of what I'm talking about -> imgur.com/a/bE6RJTo
I suspect there is a package that I'm missing, but I won't know what that might be.
Thanks.

In 4.15-staging the occational keystroke went unnoticed so movements or spells did not happen when I wanted it to.
In 4.16-staging the same problem has become so big that it makes playing annoying at best and very difficult when in a group where accuracy is needed.
I did some reading and it seems nvidia have this problem with shadowplay which disappears completely when you switch nvidia sharing off. As far as I could gather, shadowplay is not available under linux so this should not be the problem.
I also found several references to people switching off key repeat in Ubuntu, but this had no impact for me.
However, it does seem the issue is somehow related to load, as if I get fps up the issue is less prominent. As I am not on a high-end machine and wine only using one cpu core, my fps is typically around 20-30 regardless of display detail, and seems mostly dependent on cpu load.
Does anyone have any tips as to what this could be about or anything at all?

This leads me to conclude this issue is probably related to the nvidia drivers... perhaps switching driver versions could fix it.
by ED on Monday September 16th 2019, 17:15
Changing drivers was the one thing I didn't try as last time I tried it messed up a lot. I did try it now, and absolutely no change with this issue.
This feels to me as if messages goes missing. My reasoning is that whenever I can generate CPU overhead it almost behaves normal.
It's as if keypress messages goes missing which could probably be due to the difference in the way X and Windows handles messages where X does not require replies where Windows does. For Wine that would, at least as X was some time ago, result in Wine sending messages just assuming X received them. A removal of CPU overhead would most likely create issues in this methodology, which would nicely explain why the problem is directly inverse proportional to CPU load.
To this end I wanted to try out an earlier version of Wine, at the very least 4.15-staging, but when I tried that Wine did not work anymore.
Maybe I uninstall Wine completely and install an earlier version just to see if I can get it working again.
I'm not really sure how far back I can go and still expect WoW Classic to work, though.

Result: Problem gone.
I have only tested for some 10 minutes, but so far it hasn't happened once. At worst there has been some minor keypress lag, but seeing as my computer is on the older side and not that fast, that is something I can live with.
However, there is no doubt that 4.14-staging does not have the issues 4.16-staging has and which 4.15 had in a minor degree (if I remember correctly).

I'm not saying the desktop environment isn't messing things up, but as I am running a box standard Ubuntu 19.10 I'd expect wine to be able to function there.
Version 4.14 does not have this problem, with the option of 4.17 also being functional and maybe one or two more. Most versions after 4.14 have this issue to various degrees as far as I can see.
The issue does however seem to be correlated with system load to such a repeatable degree that I would go far in suspecting stresstests are lacking or completely missing from version release testing.

Managed to solve this issue using XMODIFIERS=''
So your launcher would look like
env XMODIFIERS="" WINEPREFIX="/home/devtest/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files (x86)\Battle.net\Battle.net Launcher.exe"
Tested on both wine 4.21-staging, wine 5 rc2 staging.
Also, to ensure good mouse behaviour you should check winecfg -> Graphics -> Automatically capture the mouse in full-screen windows

for two days no, I cannot enter any realm. Before that, everyhting was fine. Anyone else simmilar issues?
Battle.net Launcher and Game starts successfull. Login also works.
But after choosing any realm and trying to enter it, I am getting this "Login to realm" window. After 60 seconds it times out and I am back to the login page.
Doesnt matter which realm I choose.
Previously I used wine staging 4.08 and everything was fine.
But for two days, its not working anymore.
Also tried updating to wine staging 4.15, without success.
And... I just mentioned, retail has the same issue. Works also fine, two days ago.

Short version is: up your IPv4 stack's default TTL from 64 to 128 and login works again! Run the following in the command line:
echo 128 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_default_ttl

GFX: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080
Wine: wine-4.12.1 (Staging)
After the login I just get a black screen and a notification popup that the game is being downloaded/installed.
The Blizzard page says:
In the App, click on the World of Warcraft tab. Select "WoW Classic†in the Version or Region/Account drop-down menus, and hit the Install button.
I don't see a World of Warcraft tab. The first time I ran it it complained that there were no games in a separate window. I closed that and exited. Was that the wrong thing to do?
Anyway, after the login window I just get a black window and it seems to be installing the current retail version in the background. I do not want to install the current retail version, just the WoW classic.
My run command is:
WINEPREFIX=/wine/WoW_Classic wine "/wine/WoW_Classic/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Battle.net/Battle.net Launcher.exe"
I am not sure this is the right place for this comment. Is there a support thread in a forum somewhere for this game?

I had issues upgrading to Wine 4.14 due to some new dependencies, but once I upgraded all is fine (so far - still waiting to be able to actually play of course). So far:
* Launcher displays correctly.
* Game load screen is fine.
* Server select is fine.
I need to get some game time credit (have asked for the offered 3 day free trial) before I can actually create a character and test any further.
