I (unfortunately) installed WoW in my windowS partition. Now I regret my decision.
Is there are way that I could access to that installed version of WoW via Wine or some other system from Ubuntu.

Thanks.

Applications -> Add/Remove -> Disk Manager :)
Setup & go.

EDIT: Copying or reinstalling shouldn't be hard.

I had to re-install the whole thing via Wine. So far so good!.

Since WoW does not use the windows registry (or not for anything important) it can be easily copied from one drive to another without having to reinstall.

Configure WoW to use OpenGL. And instal closed code driver for your video card.

This is another interesting point.
I started modifying the wow config file to use OpenGL.
Then I notice a bumpy mouse pointer and decided to give it a try without the OpenGL mod.
Mouse pointer seems to be better using default (DirectX I guess) grpahic mode.


What is "closed code driver"? I am at nvidia 180.11.

Thanks.

That's the "closed code driver"... aka, "binary release driver"... aka, "closed source driver"... aka... I'll stop there, the rest aren't for kids.

Correction,mouse move more smoothly but FPS dropped a lot. I
went back to OpenGL and the bumpy mouse (but a decent FPS).

Still working on improving the sound.
