World of Warcraft with Wine [OUTDATED]

[kidcharles]

I had a hard time getting WoW to work in wine using the information I found on this forum and others. After being pointed to this howto (http://wiki.kaspersandberg.com/doku.php?id=howtos:wine:worldofwarcraft) by a helpful individual named 'vanilla' on the winehq irc channel, I had great success. I thought I would make a post on the Ubuntu forums showing what worked for me. I borrowed heavily from that howto, but added some things I did to deal with workspace switching better, and some customizations I have done.

DOWNLOADS:

If you have already installed wine from the repositories, you will want to do a "complete removal" of it before continuing.

Install the 'build-essential' package if you haven't already that will install the compiling utilities you will need.
You will probably want to run the command 'sudo apt-get build-dep wine' which should install anything you will need to compile wine. Otherwise you may get messages during './configure' about missing libraries.

Download and extract the source code for wine (I used 0.9.6) from sourceforge http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wine/wine-0.9.6.tar.bz2.

Get the two patch files needed, and place them in the top directory of the source files:
http://kaspersandberg.com/~redeeman/winestuff/wine-cvs-glx.diff
http://kaspersandberg.com/~redeeman/winestuff/wine-wow-fixes.patch

Get the two Windows .dll files necessary:
http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msvcp60
http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?mfc42

Get MozillaControl (I think this is needed for patching WoW)
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wine/MozillaControl1712.exe?download

COMPILATION AND INSTALLATION

Before compiling and installing wine, we have to patch the source code. From the top directory of the source files:
$ patch -p1 < wine-cvs-glx.diff
$ patch -p1 < wine-wow-fixes.patch

Now we compile and install wine:
$ ./configure
$ make depend && make
$ sudo make install

Now we need to, as root, make a file with a text editor in /etc called ld.so.conf, that contains a single line specifying a directory: /usr/local/lib
Now run the command 'sudo ldconfig'. This is necessary due to the special way Ubuntu handles dynamic linking (I think), while Wine expects the more standard method.

You may at this point want to run 'wine' with no application specified.
$ wine
This should create the .wine directory in your home directory with the fake C drive.

Now we can put the .dll files in the system folder:
$ mv msvcp60.dll mfc42 ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/

Now we need to install MozillaControl under wine:
$ wine MozillaControl1712.exe

Now we can use the graphical wine configuration utility and choose the following options:
$ winecfg

1. In the Applications tab change Windows version to “Windows XP”
2. In the Graphics tab:
1. Enable Pixel Shaders
2. Set Vertex Shader to Hardware
3. Enable Allow the window manager to control the windows
3. In the Audio tab set to OSS output (Option, but reported to be best)

WORLD OF WARCRAFT SETUP

Ok, wine is now ready for WoW. If you do not have a working copy of WoW available, and need to install, your best bet is to copy all of the contents of every CD into a directory on your hardrive, and start the installer using wine. I haven't tested this myself.

Once you have installed WoW, the /World of Warcraft/wtf/Config.wtf file needs to be modified. Add the following lines:
SET gxApi "opengl"
SET SoundOutputSystem "1"
SET SoundBufferSize "100"
SET gxColorBits "24"
SET gxDepthBits "24"

You should also add in the following two lines, but fill in values for the screen resolution and vertical refresh rate that are right for your setup. Mine were:
SET gxResolution "1280x1024"
SET gxRefresh "85"

Ok, now to run, you can type 'wine WoW.exe -opengl' in a terminal.

WORKSPACE SWITCHING

Ok, I like to use the workspace switching feature in Gnome (also found in every other window manager I am aware of) when playing WoW, to check Thottbot, reply to a IM, particularly on those long griffon/bat flights. I have set shortcut keys to switch to each workspace under System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts, mine are set to CTRL-F1 through F4. If you do this after starting WoW from wine in a terminal, it will switch out, but when you switch back, keyboard input is routed to the terminal instead of the game, so you can no longer use the ingame chat among other things. To fix this, I use a custom panel button to start the game instead. To make this panel button:

1. Right click on the panel you want to add it to (such as the one containing the Applications drop down) and select "Add to Panel..."
2. Highlight "Custom Application Launcher" and click "Add"
3. Give it a "Name" (such as "WoW Wine")
4. Under "Command" type "wine /path/to/World of Warcraft/WoW.exe -opengl"
5. Do not select "Run in terminal"

You can access these options by right-clicking on the button you made and choosing "Properties".

To get the World of Warcraft icon for your shortcut, you can install the 'icoutils' package (in the universe repository I believe). Then run the command:
$ wrestool -x --output=. -t14 /path/to/WoW.exe

This will extract the icon from the .exe file, placing the .ico file in your working directory. To add this icon, press "No icon" in the Properties window for your button, enter the directory where your .ico file is, and choose it.

If you use the panel button to start the game, when you switch workspaces back to the game, the keyboard input will go to the game properly.

LOADING NVIDIA SETTINGS

If you have an nvidia card, you may notice that until you use nvidia-settings during your session, your antialiasing and anisotropic filtering will not be activated. My method to activate these automatically is to start WoW with a script. To create this script, just make a file (mine is named simply 'wow') with the following lines (you can use gedit or other editor):

nvidia-settings --load-config-only
cd '/path/to/World of Warcraft'
wine WoW.exe -opengl

This will load your video card configuration before starting the game. To make this script executable:
$ chmod +x scriptname

To run this from your panel button, just put the script (including the full path) in the Command field.


TOP PANEL PROBLEM

What I experienced is that when switching back to the workspace of the game, the top Gnome panel was still on the screen, and the WoW screen was drawn underneath it, cutting off a small bit at the bottom. My workaround was to drag the top panel (the one with the Applications drop-down) down to the bottom of the screen, just on top of the bottom panel (the one with the trash icon and workspace indicators). This is not ideal, but it worked for me.

SCREEN RESOLUTION/REFRESH RATE PROBLEM

When switching out of the WoW workspace to a different one, I have experienced that the screen resolution switches a few times before settling on the proper desktop resolution (I am running both my desktop and game at 1280x1024 at 85 Hz). It's a bit jarring, but it's not a big deal. However, when exiting the game, the desktop inexplicably settles on a 1600x1200 resolution, which is the highest my monitor can handle. I am then forced to return it to 1280 x 1024 under System > Preferences > Screen Resolution.

If anyone has any ideas on how to avoid top panels being rendered or how to solve the screen resolution issues, or any other ideas or questions, please post to this thread. I'll see you in Azeroth!

UPDATE January 23, 2006

I found a workaround for the problem of it switching to 1600x1200 after game exits (this is apparently a Wine bug). I removed all instances of "1600x1200" in the various "Display" subsections in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Now that resolution is no longer available, and the desktop returns to 1280x1024 upon exit. Also, the workspace switching is much smoother, with just a brief bit of flickering.

UPDATE January 25, 2006

Switched the order of the commands to install MozillaControl and .dll files, and added running the command 'wine' to create the .wine directory in the home directory.

[glaze]

Huge thanks! I had WoW working before, but didn't know the icon thing or a fix for workspace switching problem. Now it's purrfect :-)

[schnabea]

Hi. I am a totally new linux user, picked up Ubuntu cause it seemed stable and cool looking. I am trying to get WoW to run through but I really have no idea what I am doing. I used the synaptic package manager to install the build-essential package you mentioned. I'm not sure what to do next.

I downloaded wine and extracted the wine-20021125-I386-1.tgz to the desktop in a folder named wine. I then placed the two patch files in the wine folder and tried to run the patch command in the terminal and got a long message about how the file in line 4 was not found.

I obviously have no clue what I am doing, so if anyone could point me towards a good step by step resource for this kind of thing I would really appreciate it. I would like to make the move away from windows completely and getting WoW to work will be a big step in that direction.

Also, I have WoW installed on a hdd in an NTFS partition that I use under Windows XP so I need to know how to make that folder available to wine once i get all the other issues ironed out.

Again, any help would be appreciated, I'm sorry for being such a noob :)

[alinuxfan]

AI,
If I do it the apt-get way...how do I add the patches before installing? or can it be done after?

[Artificial Intelligence]

okay, didn't read the whole thread and can see the problem, you might check this howto and see if it's easier to follow: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=92367

[alinuxfan]

thanks, I thought I had it workign for a minute, but it gets past where I enter my name and password and says "connecting" forever...gonna look in the thread you pointed me to and see if I can find anything

[Viro]

I downloaded wine and extracted the wine-20021125-I386-1.tgz to the desktop in a folder named wine. I then placed the two patch files in the wine folder and tried to run the patch command in the terminal and got a long message about how the file in line 4 was not found.


Is there any reason you're using the 2002-11-25 version of Wine? That is almost 4 years old!

[alinuxfan]

Now we need to install MozillaControl under wine:
$ wine MozillaControl1712.exe

At this point, wine should have created the .wine directory in your home directory with the fake C drive. Now we can put the .dll files in the system folder:
$ mv msvcp60.dll mfc42 ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/



I found the way to install was to switch these two commands around, you might want to edit your post so that it goes in order in case someone doesn't scroll down to see my post.
All in all it has worked for me...downloading the patches right now...the farthest I have gotten with cvscedega, cedega, or a deb of wine 96
thanks for the howto

[kidcharles]

schnabea:

I would get the newest source if I were you. Here is a direct link:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wine/wine-0.9.6.tar.bz2?download

Extract this using the command:

$ tar -xvf wine-0.9.6.tar.bz2

Now you'll have the directory wine-0.9.6. THAT is the top directory in which you should put the patch files. I think what you had before was a directory called 'wine' that contained the directory 'wine-<version number>', and had the patch files in 'wine', while they should have been in 'wine-<version number>'.

One thing I left out is that there are a number of dependencies, packages that are needed for the compilation process, that need to be installed. The quickest way to do this is probably to run the command 'sudo apt-get build-deb wine'. This should grab all the dependencies that you will need to compile wine from source. I'll add that to the top post in the thread.

As for the NTFS partition, you may know that writing to an NTFS partition in Linux is experimental and not recommended as it can destroy data. Reading is fully supported though. I recommend, if you have the space, to make a copy of World of Warcraft on a Linux partition, or at least a FAT32 partition. The game will need to write a multitude of things (chat log files, macro definitions, and addon data files) so running it from an NTFS partition is probably asking for trouble.

Ubuntu by default gives only root the ability to read from NTFS drives. To learn how to change this so normal users have read access to NTFS drives, go to http://ubuntuguide.org/#automountntfs and read the section entitled: "How to mount Windows partitions (NTFS) on boot-up, and allow all users to read only."


Artificial Intelligence:

The HOWTO that you link to didn't work for me, that's why I thought I'd write this one up. The problem is that it involves using the pre-compiled wine package, which caused problems for me. Also, even if it otherwise works, you will not see targeting circles and surface effects in the game due to a bug in World of Warcraft opengl rendering. There is a sign error in the WoW code that causes targeting circles and the like to be rendered just BELOW the surface, as apposed to just ABOVE the surface. Shame on you Blizzard! The patches that I link to fix this (I think?) and other problems.


alinuxfan:

While getting the precompiled copy of wine is certainly the easiest way to install it, there is not (that I know of) a way to apply the necessary patching to the already compiled files. That's why the method I described starts with the source code. I tried to run WoW with the wine package, and had problems.

[schnabea]

Alright thanks for the replies... When I get home tonight I'll give everything a try and see if I can't get this working.

cool, thanks for the info...
I ended up installing from your howto except i switched around putting the dll's in the system32 folder and THEN install the mozilla exe

thanks for the howto
(I thinkthe realms are down right now cause i can't see the realms to log in, but everything has worked up to that point)

[schnabea]

Ok so I ran the "sudo apt-get build-deb wine" command but I got the error message "E: Invalid operation build-deb" am I doing something wrong here?

Since that didn't work I decided to try and compile wine anyways but it said I needed to install the flex package. I assume that is part of the sudo apt-get problem. Any ideas on how to resolve this?

That's because it should be "sudo apt-get build-dep wine". After you've run that, it should work.

[schnabea]

ahhh lol. Thanks. got that part done now. on to the next step!

[schnabea]

Alright.. one more problem. When I go to install the mozilla control I get an error message saying that it cannot find the mozilla layout libraries or that files are missing int he installation. When I went to the control website the author mentions some C runtime .DLL files which I downloaded. They are MSVCP60.DLL and MSVCRT.DLL Now that I have them I don't know what to do with them to make this work.

Am I even on the right track here? And if not could someone point me in the right direction?

Again, sorry to be such a noob but I really appreciate all the help.

[Wolfbite]

That's because it should be "sudo apt-get build-dep wine". After you've run that, it should work.

I run that command, but this is what I get:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package xlibmesa-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
Package libgl-dev is a virtual package provided by:
mesag-dev 5.0.0-5.1
libgl1-mesa-dev 6.3.2-0ubuntu6breezy1
You should explicitly select one to install.
E: Package xlibmesa-dev has no installation candidate
E: Package libgl-dev has no installation candidate
E: Failed to satisfy Build-Depends dependency for wine: libgl-dev


What should I do?

[otake-tux]

automatix cant be used to install wine?

[kidcharles]

Ahh! Sorry for the build-dep typo, dep is short for dependency. That step is "experimental", I thought it might be a quick way to install all the packages wine needs to be compiled. Another way is to do the 'configure' operation, and each time it errors out saying there is a missing library, go and 'apt-get install' the -dev of that particular library.

[kidcharles]

otake-tux

I don't know much about Automatix, but I suspect it installs the binary package for wine. This method is specifically a patched source method of installing wine.

[kidcharles]

Wolfbite

I checked the packages I have installed, and I have libgl1-mesa-dev 6.3.2-0ubuntu6breezy1 rather than the other one, so you might try manually installing this particular package. You can use System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager too, it's a GUI program for the package manager.

Thanks, mate. I just found it wine doesn't support the 64-bit version of Ubuntu, though, so I think I'll wait with it. :)

[alinuxfan]

Again, sorry to be such a noob but I really appreciate all the help.

as i told kidcharles
Change the order of the commands:

$ wine MozillaControl1712.exe

$ mv msvcp60.dll mfc42 ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32

It should be:
$ mv msvcp60.dll mfc42 ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32
then
$ wine MozillaControl1712.exe
(make sure you are the directory with those files for each step)
Those 2 dll's are how mozilla figures out where to install the activex controls
let me know if you have any questions


If you do it like that, I got everything to work, no bugs at all. I followed his instructions to a T except the one switch right there and it works, I was playing as soon as the realms came up yesterday

[thieves.honor]

if people are having problems getting the dependencies for wine, then one idea is to get auto-apt from the repositories.

then run:
sudo auto-apt update
sudo auto-apt updatedb
sudo auto-apt update-local
sudo auto-apt run ./configure

it will go through, download and install all the dependencies that are needed.

[kidcharles]

alinuxfan:

Thanks for the info about the ActiveX stuff. I've changed the top post to reflect this. I added a line to run the 'wine' command without an argument after installing so that ~/.wine is made so that the .dll files can be placed there before installing the Mozilla .exe.


On another note, I tested out the 'apt-get build-dep wine' method of getting all the needed dependencies and it worked fine on a different Ubuntu machine.

[schnabea]

I'm back. *waits for the groans*

Ok I have everything installed (I think its all correct too :smile: ) and I have WoW installed. I updated WoW using patch files from Fileplanet cause it is a faster dload for me generally than using the blizzard tracker.

Every time i try to start wow with or without the -opengl tag at the end of the command my screen resolution changes, the WoW music starts and then I get the following error:

This application has encountered a critical error:

ERROR #132 (0x85100084) Fatal Exception
Program: C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Wow.exe
Exception: 0x80000101 (unknown exception) at 0073:FFFFE410

Now I think we all know its likely I messed something up, but if I didn't does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Thanks so much for holding my hand through this:D

[kidcharles]

schnabea:

The error 132 is associated with World of Warcraft and is a general error code for a whole number of problems. It appears frequently even in Windows:

http://www.blizzard.com/support/wow/?id=aww01735p1

This error could be due to wine, or it could be due to WoW. Here's one things I found:

On transgaming.org forums, it was suggested that memtest should be run to check for bad memory:
http://transgaming.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4913

If it is happening at a predictable point (like right after selecting character) I would guess that it may not be bad ram, but something else.

I assume when you ran the 'patch' commands that there were one or two lines each time that indicated successful patching? Sorry I can't help more, I'll keep looking though.

[alinuxfan]

schnabea,
what video card do you have and what resolution are you running WoW at?
i run mine at 1024x768 with a refresh of 60 and mine is working fine (FX5200 128 AGP)
I have error messages sometime but I just click ok and it continues doing it's thing...
For now go into winecfg and disable all audio and try it and see if that could be causing your problem...
Let me know how that works out

[moccah]

Hi there.
I`ve followed this how-to... I`ve even tried Cedega...
I gave up cedega... and in wine I get an error... Memory could not be read.

This changes the hex value from time to time... I`ve added an attachment.

I managed to play on another char... but as soon as i get to a crowded area, i crash to desktop.

I`ve tried everthing I could think of;
1) disabling the music/sound
2) changing to WinXP
3) I`ve also tried to run$wine WoW.exe -d3d I was able to play a little longer, but the textures are seriously bugged.
4)I have edited my Config.wtf as told in this howto, but this didn`t help...

I`m currently running the 8.19.10 ATI driver.

Don`t know if this is of any help, but im pasting it aswell:

I am positively sure there is a solution... I just can`t figure out whats wrong :rolleyes:

[alinuxfan]

what video card do you have?
I know when I was trying to use my ATI radeon 7500 series on one computer and my ATI Rage Fury on another
but that was with a different howto. I didn't find kidcharles' howto until I got my nvidia card...
I'll try to mess around and see if I can get those errors...be back in a bit

[schnabea]

I am using an ATI Radeon 9200se w/ 128 mgs of RAM. When I get home tonight I will try disabling sound to see if that fixes things. I play with sound disabled anyway so that wont bother me.

[schnabea]

ok running without the -opengl command gets me in to the game and everything runs, but of course without the textures. As soon as I try to use the -opengl tag the game will crash after resizing the desktop but before i even see the login screen.

Now I've messed something up though. Last time i ran winecfg I clicked the alsa option by accident in the audio tab and closed it before realizing it and now whenever I run wine or winecfg all I get is the following error message:

ALSA lib seq_hw.c:455:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 1 (X_CreateWindow)
Serial number of failed request: 13
Current serial number in output stream: 14

Any way I can fix that or get the proper file so it will open?

hello!

first off, thanks for making this guide, it was very helpful so far ...


however, I am running WoW with an athlon 1800+, 1 gig of pc2700 ram, and a radeon 9800 pro 256meg 256 bit, etc...

It is considerably laggier than windows in directx emulation or opengl... I tried to tweak it down to lowest settings and still pretty laggy. Anyone have any new breakthroughs? :)

[alinuxfan]

i am running AMD 1700, 1gig pc3200 and nvidia 5200 128AGP
AND man it runs smooth...then again i haven't played WoW in windows for about 6 months
But I have no complaints whatsoever with the way things turned out following this guide

[ashes]

[moccah]

Hmm.
I still cant make WoW work under wine... keep getting the error "Memory cannot be written"...

Anyone have the same problem?

[Toadicus]

I followed this method and still have the "mouse bug" problem, where my mouse thinks the background is over the foreground. I've tried recompiling with different versions (I think) of the Wine WoW patch, and running the export WINEPRELOADER work around, to no avail. Any suggestions on what I might do to get my mouse to work?

If it's meaningful at all, I can post the text that Wine spews while WoW is loading, and it may be worth noting that WoW has greyed out the "hardware mouse" option.

Thanks for your help. :)

-Toad

[moccah]

I downloaded the latest wine source and patched it with http://kaspersandberg.com/~redeeman/winestuff/wine-wow-fixes.patch. This removed the mouse bug for me.
However, wow keeps on crashing when im loading my char into the world.

I`ve heard that there is no need for the GLX patch any more.. can someone confirm this? I haven`t tried to recompile wine without this patch yet.

[Toadicus]

I had that problem running the stock version of wine; patching it with the patches kidcharles linked fixed that. I'll try recompiling with that patch you gave me, and without the GLX patch... here's hoping. If anyone else has any ideas, I'd love to hear them. :)

[tm.winston]

In the interest of adding another data point, I followed these directions as best I could, and now get the following error after the game loads (I am able to log in, select my character, and see the loading with progress bar all the way to the end):

X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 143 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 13 (X_GLXCreateGLXPixmap)
Serial number of failed request: 432
Current serial number in output stream: 433


At this point, the game closes and I am dumped back out. I have tried turning off sound in winecfg. Anybody have any other ideas?

[ZarathustraDK]

The method outlined in the start of this thread works perfectly. I followed it to the letter and I'm playing wow now.

System :

3.2 GHz pentium 4
1024 mb sdram
weird agp/pci-e hybrid motherboard from Asrock
Inno3d geforce 7800 GT
Running Ubuntu Breezy

Thanks a lot ;-)

[Lord Erik]

I spent several hours last night trying to install wine and I think it is time to conceed defeat and ask for help.

I installed 5.10 on the weekend and then followed this howto (sort of). I downloaded the source for wine then tried

erikc@Cassy-May:~$ sudo apt-get build-dep wine
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Unable to find a source package for wine

It didnt work. So I ran ./configure and installed anything it asked for in error messages and also a lot of the stuff that configure said wasn't present. I think this was a bad idea as I now have a lot of crap on my machine that I probably dont need.

Get to make depend && make and now I get errors. I wont list the errors here as I think I need to sort out the apt-get build-dep first.

Why wouldnt be able to find a source package for wine? Do I need to install wine by package then run build-dep then remove the wine package? Or am I missing apt sources.

Any help would be appreciated.

[Lord Erik]

I managed to fix my first problem (I didnt have universe enabled) but now it has the following error when running make depend && make

I wonder myself how much performance you lose if you playing it with wine.
Since the only game I play at this moment is WoW.
Maybe I can ride of my windows :twisted:

If you've got an nVidia card you probably won't notice any different from playing it on Windows, atleast I didn't. If you've got an ATI card witch I've got on my laptop, it's not even worth installing.

I get a similar error, but the game won't even start up for me. I don't get it when I do the non-openGL, but of course then the game isn't playable.

I used wine 0.9.7 without using any patches. I merely compiled the source and installed it.

and here is what I get:

Maybe I can ride of my windows :twisted:

I followed the guide and got it working just fine. Of course, I added a shortcut to the games tab of the applicatin dropdown instead of just adding it to the panel.

My only complaint is that I lost a little performance (comparing this to windows). Average framerate is about 10 less than it was before. It's playable though, and the jitter I used to get from walking into places like IronForge is completely gone, that alone is worth it to me.

Good luck~

Also, I ditched windows a long time ago since i've been able to get every game I own working in Linux. But I may have more luck than others.

[moccah]

What kind of graphic card you got? NVidia?
It seems like ATI users got a problem... I`ve not tried wine 0.9.7 yet. On the previously release of wine i encountered crash to desktop problems, and Current serial number in output stream: 401

[Lord Erik]

I finally got wine running by reinstalling breezy and then compiling and installing wine in recovery mode (that seemed to stop all the segfaults). Now I'm having trouble with the WoW installation program.

Has anyone tried installing from one of the WoW 2 week trial DVDs? Currently it is stopping part way through with file errors. I'm not sure if the error is on the DVD or when the file is copied to the hard drive.

[thieves.honor]

okay, i have 2 questions. #1: with wine .0.9.7 do you need the 2 patches?? #2: instead of doing a make install is there a way to create a .deb package??

[Lord Erik]

This is the error I'm now getting.

From the WoW installer
The installer was unable to read the file "<unknown>". This error may be caused by problems with the media or drive at --for example, a scratched or dirty CD-ROM/DVD, hard drive corruption, or a networking problem while downloading the installer. (The data being read was "World\Generic\Makura\PassiveDoodads\MakuraShells\M akuraShells03.m2", and the error code was 38.) If this problem persists please contact Blizzard Technical Support (MPQFile:Read)

And from wine

I've tried from the DVD and from copying the DVD contents to the hdd first. Any ideas or should I just give up?

[Lord Erik]

I just managed to get it installed by only copying the installer.exe and tome files across.

Video seems ok but sound is awful (judders and reverbarates) and the mouse is very sluggish. I dont have an internet connection here right now so I have only seen the intro movie and login page. I dont really know anything about soundcards under linux so not sure if I can get better sound performace.

[RizSilverthorn]

Excellent guide! WoW was the only reason I hadn't hosed my Windows install (now reformated and completely Ubuntu system). I also have but two issues with WoW:

FPS. My fps is pretty bad - under Windows I was getting @35-40 in Org at 1280x1024. Under Wine (or the cedega_time_demo) I get 14-20! My system is NF4 mobo, A64 3200+, 1024MB DDR400 RAM, GF6600 256MB PCI-E. I have installed the latest nvidia drivers (8178 ). I use a Creative SB Live! for WoW & system sounds through the speakers, onboard audio for the headset & mic for Skype.
Being left handed, I use the numberpad with numlock on for movement & spellcasting. When I press 8 (forward) my toon runs until I press 5 (backward). My toon then stops and neither key works again. The same happens to all of the other numberpad keys. I tried the cedega_time_demo, and apart from the annoying logo pulsing away in the middle of the screen and the same low fps, it works fine. The numpad keys work properly. I am 95% certain I'm going to buy a sub to cedega, but until I can afford it (maxed out on Credit Card!) I hope there is a solution to my problem.

My WoW install is a copy of the one that used to live on my C: drive under windows before I formatted and installed Ubuntu.

After all the issues, I am amazed at the amount of improvement GNU/Linux has made since I first installed my first distro (Slackware '95) in 1995 and the fact I can play a Windows game without windows!

[mikelietz]

What kind of graphic card you got? NVidia?
It seems like ATI users got a problem...

Yes, ATI, using fglrx. Still haven't heard if I'm supposed to use a GLX patch for 0.9.7.

[zionpsyfer]

Weirdness all around, I've tried using cedega 5.0.1, wine 0.9.6 and 0.9.7(both wine versions patched with the wow fixes).

I can log in with all of the above. With the patched wine cvs releases I can get about 1 fps in the game, but no textures load. Everything is white, with shadows. With Cedega, all the textures load, but my framerate drops to perhaps one frame every five seconds. This occurs whether or not I use the -opengl switch. I've edited the Config.wtf file for wow and appended

SET gxApi "opengl "
SET SoundOutputSystem "1"
SET SoundBufferSize "100"
SET gxColorBits "16"
SET gxDepthBits "16"
SET gxResolution "800x600"
SET gxRefresh "60"
_____________________________
To the end, reducing my resolution and color/depth to see if it would help. No difference.


glxgears and fglxgears come up with halfway decent framerates, and the native UT2K4 install runs beautifully. Great framerate at high detail.


So I know d3d and opengl are working (correct me if glxgears/fglxgears/ut2k4 only implies one is functional.)



hardware: radeon9200

lsmod shows the following related modules loaded:

via_agp
agpgart
fglrx

Any ideas? I'm fresh out of ideas besides pulling the card and trying an nvidia.

UPDATE:

I`ve now tried wine 0.9.7 with the wow patch only, the glx patch only, both patches, and no patches. I still get the crash-to-desktop problem. I also tried the cedega_timedemo.. It worked, but the framerate was very low.

If anyone can see any errors in the outputs I`ve put here, please tell me.. I can`t figure out how to get wow to work.

[GIBson3]

Well I've tried under Wine 9.4 and 9.6 and both have given me this Error when trying to Run WoW. I was able to install just fine, I've installed the ActiveXMozControl However it keeps telling me that it can't find my moz. Libs, any idea's?

it's bombing out in the IsWow64Process call...

the following is the output from Wine


sean@edge:~/wine-0.9.6$ wine /home/sean/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/World\ of\ Warcraft/WoW.exe -opengl

[Phoenixfatali]

For the ActiveX Mozilla problems people are having the solution is to put the .dll's into the System folder instead of the Sytem32 folder. It looks like wine reads all of the 32bit dll's from the System folder and the System32 folder is for show.

Even with that solved for me WoW crashes as soon as I try to connect. It goes through a few of the authenticating options, says downloading and crashes with the normal send error screen wow has declaring a page fault. This is the wine output in the console

I patched wine exactly as the article stated, wow starts up fine and the framerate looks good but it just freezes when it hits the downloading message. It's possible they released a patch this morning for WoW that isn't downloading properly in wine but it would be nice if I could get WoW to patch itself. If anyone has seen this problem before help would be appreciated.

[flayedchild]

***EDIT***
nevermind... they are back up :)
**/EDIT***

is there any reason the patches are not linked anymore?
I got this to work a few days ago on my compie, and was gonna try on my roommates... but where did the patches go?
-FC

[Phoenixfatali]

Ok, the problem with it freezing during connecting can be solved through two things. One is add SET ffxGlow "1" in your config.wtf. The other is to make your WDB folder in the world of warcraft directory read only. These two things solve some problems that came up in the patching of the last week.

[vulpine]

this is the greatest post ever

thank you for this write up

[moccah]

Yes, ATI, using fglrx. Still haven't heard if I'm supposed to use a GLX patch for 0.9.7.

I will try to compile wine 0.9.7 with all the patches + I`ll try to compile without the GLX patch. I`m at work right now, so I`ll post when I`ve tried it.

[GIBson3]

For the ActiveX Mozilla problems people are having the solution is to put the .dll's into the System folder instead of the Sytem32 folder. It looks like wine reads all of the 32bit dll's from the System folder and the System32 folder is for show.


Thank you for that, I've got the MozConrtol installed at least :D

Now I'm going to track down that damn isWow64Process error :-k

The part that Bugs me at this point is the
Call from 0x5ed09ec5 to unimplemented function KERNEL32.dll.IsWow64Process

Maybe it's just me, but "isWow64Process" sounds more like a WoW.exe function than a KERNEL32.DLL function... maybe that's just me.



wrong there, WOW64 is apperently the name of the 32 bit emulation layer in windows 64-bit... I'm assuming it means "Windows on Windows64" anyway, I'm currious as to why my copy of wine doesn't seem to support this call. I've tried 0.9.4/0.9.6/0.9.7 all with the same results, but everyone else seems to be fine...





ok after more research it appears this is actually because the gl.h file isn't being found via configure I can fix this easily enough. Thank you wine mailing list archives and google. :D

[moccah]

Hi there.
After testing various patches and fixes, i finally managed to get WoW working on my Laptop. I think this fix will work for users with ATI Radeon Mobility Graphic card. (I`ve only tried it on my laptop, sorry).

Anyhows these are the steps.

1) Grab the latest ATI driver from http://www.ati.com
2) Make sure you uninstall any old ATI driver; Launch the Terminal Application/Window and navigate to the /usr/share/fglrx folder. Then, enter the command sudo sh ./fglrx-uninstall.sh
3) Now, make the ATI driver executable chmod +x /path/to/atiDriver
4) Run sudo sh ./ati-driver-installer-8.22.5-i386.run
5) After installing type in sudo aticonfig --initial
6) Then reboot.

Then I grabbed the latest Wine source (wine 0.9.7). Patched it with the GLX patch, and the WoW-fixes patch (Links are on the first page of this tread).

Tell me how this works out ;)


I forgot to mention that I`ve made the WDB read-only

-Regards

[zodder]

Hmm.
I still cant make WoW work under wine... keep getting the error "Memory cannot be written"...

Anyone have the same problem?
Not sure if you figured this out yet, but I got the same error when I tried to connect after entering my WoW logon info. I fixed it by giving myself write permission on all directories in the "World of Warcraft" folder.

[moccah]

I had all write permissions.. it seems that my problem was the graphic card driver...

[larsemil]

i get this error, what to do?

larsemil@gandalf:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/World of Warcraft$ wine WoW.exe -opengl

[moccah]

It seems to me that the OPENGL32.dll is missing..

Did you install wine via src?

Try to run "wine WoW.exe -d3d" just to see if the game starts or not.

[larsemil]

i installed it from src, doing EXACTLY as said... i really dont get it...

[moccah]

Is this wine 0.9.8 or 0.9.7, I haven`t tried 0.9.8 yet...

[larsemil]

it is 0.9.6

[Gaferion]

i get this error, what to do?

larsemil@gandalf:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/World of Warcraft$ wine WoW.exe -opengl

err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\Program Files\\World of Warcraft\\WoW.exe" failed, status c0000135

I am having that exact same error on my machine after following this guide. I have also tried :

sudo make uninstall
sudo make distclean
rm -rf /home/username/.wine
./configure --enable-opengl
make depend && make
sudo make install
wine (to build directory again)
copy all dll files and run Mozilla ActiveX setup per guide

same error as above when trying to run WoW.exe

I have installed the fglrx drivers following the guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=423584. I get ~930-940 FPS in fgl_glxgears (sp?) So I think I installed it right.

After doing that guide, I removed wine again and recompiled/installed doing commands listed above ... still got the error.

Only info I really found online about the error was to use --enable-opengl switch which hasnt helped me.

I have a Intel P4 3.0 Ghz with HT, 1GB Ram, Radeon 9800 PRO using smp kernel latest

I will try downloading the 0.9.7 and applying the patch and seing if that helps. Also, 0.9.8 is out now ... any news on how that works and if you need patches for it or not?

[larsemil]

i tried 0.9.7 and got the same error again, although i compiled with the --with-opengl option.

think there is some dependencie needed but not prompted for opengl32.dll?

[lungdart]

Went with this tutorial to install wine 0.9.8 with the patches. Now when i wine anything i get these errors


err:imagelist:ImageList_ReplaceIcon no color!
err:imagelist:ImageList_ReplaceIcon no color!
err:imagelist:ImageList_ReplaceIcon no color!
err:imagelist:ImageList_ReplaceIcon no color!
Application tries to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.


Along with other errors regarding opengl32.dll for WoW, and any other game i have installed. I've tried reinstalling the apt wine of the same version and no change, and doing a complete removal leaves my wine still there (built from sources)

How can i get rid of/fix this wine configuration? All my other wined apps are useless now and i cant get them working. WoW with my current wine but wasnt able to select anything with the cursor.

I would do anything to get back to regular wine-0.9.8, since this compile seems to have been botched

HELP!:evil:

edit: Did a make unininstall and a make distclean, reinstalled 0.9.8 with synaptic, and everything works accept the mouse over again.

Maybe theres another fix for 0.9.8 or something, b/c that guide just didnt cut the cake for me.
Looked back at my error before and it was the same error with the opengl.dll, just getting the dll wouldnt cut it for me though since not even winecfg or anything would work.

This seems interesting as well


I just installed 0.9.8 hoping the bug #4143 is gone but NOOO it is not... again...
Why dont you finally take this bugfix into wine??? Its anoying because compiling wine myself using the fix does not compile the opengl32.dll.so (another anoying bug!)


There seems to be the reason the opengl error was happening and the link to the bug is here http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4143
But i cant make heads or tails out of bug trackers. They boggle my non developer mind. Hope its useful to someone. in the meantime, ill be off to see if i can find some tutorial for wine 0.9.8 with the wow patch that works for me

The error just above is the OTHER error on a different computer, my laptop, with a radeon 9600 mobility card ... so knowing how to also fix that would make me happy.

I also have a new problem. What I've done so far is install wine from CVS, then remove and installed from ubuntu's repository, then removed that and am trying to install from CVS again with new ideas ... however there seems to be configurations all over from previous installs that are not getting cleaned out. Currently after installing wine from CVS again, I am now getting this error :

gaferion@Hinata:~$ wine
wine: error while loading shared libraries: libwine.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
gaferion@Hinata:~$


Anyone know how to totally clean wine off a system? I've been doing :

sudo make uninstall
sudo make distclean

to remove the CVS and to remove the ubuntu flavour I went to Synaptic Package Manager and did a complete removal of wine (which purges configuration files also).

If no one really knows, I'll just re-install ubuntu since its a fresh install anyways. :P

[lungdart]

Now we need to, as root, make a file with a text editor in /etc called ld.so.conf, that contains a single line specifying a directory: /usr/local/lib
Now run the command 'sudo ldconfig'. This is necessary due to the special way Ubuntu handles dynamic linking (I think), while Wine expects the more standard method.


Did you do that after compiling? Because i tried running wine before this step and had a similiar error when i compiled it myself.

I read that the latest greatest CVS builds are already patched. So if you checked those out and compiled them you should be good to go. Only problem for me is that i have my current wine configuration exactly where i need it for my other games i wine. Just WoW has the "no click" problem everything else works fine. Now if i could install wine cvs along side of 0.9.8 that would be great! being able to run say wine *.exe for my other games and winecvs WoW.exe for wow, but I have no idea how to do that.

Noobs helping noobs, together we'll **** off the world, lol

[Gaferion]

I'll check that ... I did that step the first time I installed CVS, and thought it would still be created after I uninstall since I created that file outside of the wine installation. I didn't try create / make sure it was created when installing CVS a second time. Thnx for the tip.

UPDATE: I re-installed and installed CVS following guide. Only thing I did different was before configuring/building I did
sudo apt-get build-dep wine
which WAS meantioned at the beginning of the guide ... I missed I sped read to the 'commands' ... :-\ Only thing is that its recomended to prevent errors during configure but actually this resolved the OPENGL.DLL issue for me ... I would say to do the build-dep command regardless

Anyways, so WoW starts, but FPS is dog slow ... Normally on windows box with settings I have I get about 45-50 FPS avg ... now I get 10-20 avg. Also, when I try to click the audio tab in winecfg I get the following error (snippet):
wine: Unhandled page fault on write access to 0x6c38dbc8 at address 0x7eca53b1 (thread 0009), starting debugger...

Stack dump:
But, not too too concerned about that cause audio is working (sorta ... choppy even after playing with buffer setings)

Also, if I try to change ingame video settings, game crashes ... I was trying to disable things to improve performance ...

Ideas on any of the issues outlined?

[Delvien]

Hey guys , just got WoW to work with ACCEPTABLE performance ( very ppoor compaired to windows ) ( which sucks because i dont want to boot that crappy OS ANYMORE !!..


Anyway i am getting a fatal error when changing Video settings down to Low on everything.

I was able to set my resolution with the config.wtf file , but i need to know what i can do to fix this problem , and possibly have better performance..

Also what are the commands to put in config.wtf to set all the settings on low ( command for each one )

[moccah]

You can try to run
wine WoW.exe -d3d

In my experience this will let you change Video settings in WoW.

[Delvien]

You can try to run
wine WoW.exe -d3d

In my experience this will let you change Video settings in WoW.


Per the Gentoo wiki i put that in my config.WTF file to run d3d as my 3d accelerator and it is still a problem but i will try running it by that command

i have recently installed ubuntu 5.10 and my niece is mad because he can't open his favorite GameBoy Advance emulator anymore.can anyone help me with this?

[Mnemonicman]

It works for a minute or two but soon locks up. And when it does it has a low fps. Any way to remedy this?

[alinuxfan]

Mnemon,
do you actually get into the game?
did you follow kid charles' howto exactly?
I am running with 1gig DDR and a geforce 5200 128mb and I get a bit of a low frame rate but that is my only problem, other than that by following his howto on a fresh ubuntu install it works great

Hiya, im new to the forums and somewhat to linux. I have tried linux a few times before but have always had to go back to windows because i get too frustrated not being able to do anything, but now i found this thread with nice helpful people and am hoping to change that.

i have followed this guide to the T and keep running into the same problem. i get to the point where i move the .dll files and try to run MozillaControl1712.exe in wine and it gives me an error:

err:imagelist:ImageList_ReplaceIcon no color!
err:imagelist:ImageList_ReplaceIcon no color!
err:imagelist:ImageList_ReplaceIcon no color!

Application tries to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.


i have tried everything i can think of. i have reconfigured the x server via the command: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

i have tried installing the flgrx driver numerous times, and i dont think that is installing correctly either.

i downloaded everything from the links given and have done this right after installing and updating the packages. hopefully someone can help me? i keep reading all these success stories and i cant seem to get it working, it is making me very frustrated.

can anyone please help?

PS. sorry for being so long winded.

[Delvien]

Well i have better framerate than in windows my only problem now is that i dont see any Text above characters heads ( names , dmg being dealth, resist messages etc) anyone figure this out and fix it?

[lox]

hi, great howto: the first one i actually could follow and worked, altho i have 1 MAJOR problem..
my wine can't install in the home/.wine folder.. do i had to create a different drive_c, where i installed activeX controlls WOW the dll's everything!
now, to run 3d applications i need to put sudo infront of the command, because ubuntu doesnt allow my normal user 3d acceleration.
so i: sudo wine wow.exe -opengl
well, that doesnt work, because he can't find wow.exe
if i doubleclick the wow.exe (starting wine automaticly) the game is way to slow, mouse moves once every 3 seconds.. (i do not get errors!)
i believe that my problem lies with wine, not allowing 3d accel, because i am under my user!? (sudo GLtron has great speed, sudo glxgears super, without sudo.. = no openGL)
and how can i make it so wine let's me install to the real "fake" C disk, because the one with WOW on it didn't even have a windows/system32 folder

#1 Can i make ubuntu grand acces to all users for 3d accel?
#2 Can i change the .wine folder? so wine sees another folder as the real "fake" drive c?
#3 do i have to install directX from the wow cd's?
#4 how do i uninstall wine? :D

[Squiddish]

Hey all, brand new to Linux for the most part, and I'm trying to follow what you guys have posted in order to get wine and WoW to work. However, when I run the make command to compile wine:


./configure make depend && make sudo make install


I get this error:

configure: WARNING: you should use --build, --host, --target
configure: WARNING: you should use --build, --host, --target
checking build system type... Invalid configuration `make': machine `make' not recognized
configure: error: /bin/sh tools/config.sub make failed



I've run the patch commands properly before trying to compile. Thanks all, any help is appreciated.

[lox]

./configure
make depend && make
sudo make install


they are 3 seperate commands :mrgreen:

[Squiddish]

Ah, well when I run the first command it tells me that my compiler can't compile executables :(

[Delvien]

Well i have gotten WoW to run for the most part... but now the problem is i cannot click on characters or NPCs so i cannot fight or quest at all, anyone have this problem? if so what is the solution?

[polpak]

Ah, well when I run the first command it tells me that my compiler can't compile executables :(

sudo apt-get install build-essential

[Squiddish]

Well that command seemed to build something, but then I still ge the "compiler cannot create executables" error when I try and compile wine. KInd of at a loss at this point.

make sure you have the bison package, make sure you are in the right directory, and make sure you got wine extracted right, try the tutorial again and follow it precicely

[ffadmraven]

Ok, I have done everything up to installing, but when I go to install it keeps asking for me to insert disk 1. Any ideas on what I should do?

I have all the CD's copied to my hardrive since I can't seem to get it to copy from my windows NTFS partition.

Also I appear to be having a font issue with the EULA, so any ideas on that one would be helpful as well.

[Yob]

Hi,

I'm on an amd64 system and can't compile wine with the patches myself. I've tried getting the game to run with every version of Wine available (from 0.9.3-0.9.9) but to no avail.
Right now I have the latest version installed (0.9.9) but can't play the game. When in luck i get to the character selection screen but now i can't even log in.

I anyone could supply a patched deb i would be very, very grateful :D

[realistic]

Hi,

I've started yesterday with linux and i'm trying to run WoW aswell.
I came really far with this thread but now i'm stuck.

You may at this point want to run 'wine' with no application specified.
$ wine
This should create the .wine directory in your home directory with the fake C drive.


That's the point where I am now, and I get this message when i type it in the terminal :

martijn@dagobah:/mnt$ wine
Wine 0.9.9
Usage: wine PROGRAM [ARGUMENTS...] Run the specified program
wine --help Display this help and exit
wine --version Output version information and exit

If I try in the directory where i did all other things (/home/wine/wine{version number}) I get the same message.

Does anyone now what I'm doing wrong?

Before linux I worked with windows so I don't know really much about linux yet.

EDIT : oops, my father said it's a hidden directory.
It worked now :-)

[Yob]

Hi,

Did you install WOW? If so open a terminal and do:
cd .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/World\ of\ Warcraft/

Hit enter and then do:
wine wow

That should start your game ;-)

[realistic]

No, I still didn't manege to install the game.

If my pc is installing from the first cd, everything is alright.
Then I have to change to cd 2.
That's where it goes wrong now.

How do I change the cd?
If I put the second cd into my drive, and mount that drive, I can see the files on the cd.

I got a message "please insert cd 2" and then I can click "okay: or "cancel"
When I click okay, my pc does nothing, and puts the same message on my screen again. When I click cancel, the installation has been quit. (yes, ofcourse)

How do I change CDs so my pc picks disk 2?

[Yob]

I had a somewhat similar problem when installing.
Apparently the easiest way is to copy your installation from a windows machine but is it possible to install via wine as well.

As I don't have a windows machine handy i chose to copy all five Cd's to my computer and start the installer locally.

When all files have been copied you start the installer the same way you tried to start the game. CD into the directory where the files are, and simply go "wine installer" or whatever the name is.

[ffadmraven]

Ok, I found out what my problem was. for some reason when I copied the first disk, it didn't copy the DirectX folder. I copied it over and now the installer seems to be running just fine.

I copied the files yesterday already, and I quit after that.

Where can I change it? I tried almost every wine file to see if it is the good one.
(found the right file yesterday, but don't know anymore where it is)

It would be nice if you can help me

[realistic]

Well, fixed that problem now to :-)
Only don't know anymore how.

Now I've got another problem :

My current is an Ati Radeon 9200SE 256MB.

I'm planning to buy an Nvidia 256 MB (don't know exact type).
Would it help if I do that?

And if not : What do I have to do that make the game works?

The Radeon 9200SE is OpenGL Compatible... though the ATI drivers are not the Friendliest out there... as for the Error are you using the ATI Drivers?

[ffadmraven]

Ok, now I've come up with 2 more problems. the first is video, it is really jerky, and my mouse and keayboard appear to be lagging. the other one, is that it won't apply some of the patches. Any ideas out there?

[realistic]

I'm not sure what drivers I'm using.
I've got the drivers that were installed when I installed Ubuntu, after that, I didn't upgrade my drivers anymore.
I'll take a look for a new driver that supports openGL

[slag]

For those people having the following problem:

Application tries to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.

Try running the following command before compiling wine from source.

sudo apt-get build-dep wine

I had wine running perfectly a week ago, and I'm getting the above error now. I realized that I forgot to build the wine dependencies, and that's the ONLY different step. Give it a try, I'm almost sure it will resolve the problem. When compiling wine there was a warning about the X-developer libraries, and I think build-dep wine gets those installed for you.

[slag]

Here's that warning I was talking about when configuring the wine source:
*** Warning: X development files not found. Wine will be built without
*** X support, which currently does not work, and would probably not be
*** what you want anyway. You will need to install devel packages of
*** Xlib/Xfree86 at the very least.

And "sudo apt-get build-dep wine" definitely does the trick.

[aqualad]

When I try to run the patches I get no response and end up having to break it with Ctrl+c, does anyone know why these patches are unresponsive? command:

Still no response.

[trorion]

Works great but just 1 question..
How do I stop wine from using <alt + left_click> from moving my screen? I would like to be able to alt-click for self casts but when I do that it moves my window (which is, incidentally, very cool).

i got it working!

doing a sudo apt-get build-dep wine before compiling did the trick and i got a proper opengl32.dll. smooth.


so now the question is: how do i increase the performance, its a bitt laggy compared to how it was in winxp. sound and graphic not going with the flow needed for proper gameplay.

[philth]

Not sure if anyone else had this but i got an OPENGL.dll missing and corrected it with running ./configure --with-opengl instead of just ./configure

Update [21-Mar-2006]: I removed my original installation of wine and reinstalled it from source compilation, as per the absolute letter of the instructions in the guide. Lesson learned.

Update [20-Mar-2006]: I read an earlier post in this thread that suggested a video driver update. I followed the directions from the link provided in that post, but still no dice.

Hi all,

Bit of a Linux newbie. Total Ubuntu newbie. But, doing my best to follow posts and directions, etc.

I have a similar problem to a previous poster (biggi_mati). Unfortunately, I don't have the where-with-all to figure out the rather arcane error messages, though I wish I did. That said, I'm hoping someone will be able to offer some assistance.

WoW was working wonderfully (in so far as I could tell) up until I patched to 1.9. I did a clean install of WoW. I got the logon screen, logged in, and got the patch message. I patched to 1.9 and now nothing loads.

The behaviour that I'm seeing is the screen seems to flicker very briefly, I see a "World of Warcraft" window in my window manager down the bottom of the screen, but then it disappears and I'm left with the following (error?) message:

fixme:advapi:SetSecurityInfo stub

if people are having problems getting the dependencies for wine, then one idea is to get auto-apt from the repositories.

then run:
sudo auto-apt update
sudo auto-apt updatedb
sudo auto-apt update-local
sudo auto-apt run ./configure

it will go through, download and install all the dependencies that are needed.


I love you, thieves. I hope this works - looks promising.

[jkeyes0]

I've got Ubuntu 5.10 on my Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop, copied WoW over from an existing installation (from the same laptop, separate hard drive, ironically enough), and got WoW to run. I logged in, saw my characters, everything was going well, and when I hit Enter World, the screen changed to the loading screen, the bar went across the bottom, and the screen became lighter, and lighter, until everything was white. Nothing would respond, so I rebooted, had to delete my /home/username/.ICEauthority file to actually get loaded, but no real problems.

I'm going to try one more time, but I don't have the best feeling about this. Anyone familiar with the screen going light and the system locking up?

EDIT: Nevermind. Not sure what I did exactly, but I removed -opengl from the launcher line, and it let me in. I exited, put the -opengl back in, and it works still. FPS are not great, but better than nothing. I might try it on my system at home at a later point (I have a spare hard drive for it too) to see if better hardware makes the difference. I have an ATI card in my laptop, and an ATI card in my desktop (X800 pro desktop, 9600 pro turbo in laptop).

EDIT 2: I think the problem may have had something to do with the "SET gxApi "opengl"" line in the wtf file. Well. maybe not.

[jkeyes0]

Ok, I keep going back and forth. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Any ideas?

Edit again: I think it has something to do with the resolution. I'm on a widescreen laptop, so I normally set it to 1280x800, but I told it to autodetect hardware (through the wtf file) and it set it to 1024x768 and worked. I then manually set it to 1280x768, and it still works, so I'm not going to question it. Could it have something to do with the monitor?

[Goleta]

May I suggest that https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WorldofWarcraft be substituted with this post. Seems like the original author of the wiki post quit. :)
WARNING #2: This howto is no longer being maintained by it's original author, and hence it might no longer work with recent releases of WoW
This seems better and more complete. Will help future users find information. Thank you

[Bluehill]

Hi,
Thanks for making such a comprehensive and accurate guide for successfully installing WoW on Unbuntu. I, being a relative linux noob, was skeptical whether or not I would be able to handle such a daunting task. I had been using Ubuntu for some time and absolutely loved it and WoW was the only thing keeping me from completely uninstalling Windows XP.

I follow your guide step by step, substituting the latest Wine build (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wine/wine-0.9.10.tar.bz2?download) for the one you used. Also, instead of installing from a previous windows installation or installation CD's I was able to install using the WoW trial client (http://www.fileplanet.com/158404/download/World-of-Warcraft-Trial-%5BCLOSED%5D). The trial period is closed, but if you have an existing account you can just install and enter your account information. I will add that I did receive installation error messages while patching WoW, but they can be ignored.

Everything works, including all in game video settings. I'm very pleased to say the least. I will add that it's important you follow the instructions on the first page precisely as missing one step can botch your installation and waste a lot of time (as I found out the hard way).

Needless to say Windows is no longer installed.:mrgreen:

Cheers,

Bluehill

ARGH! KILL ME!

New problem. Thieve's method of using auto-apt seemed to be doing something, because I had sucessfully gotten through everything but the final command

sudo auto-apt run ./configure

I have found another problem with my installation. Whenever it asks me to download and install something and I say yes, it goes through the process of downloading and then it seems to start installing, but always comes up with the same prompt/error:

This is towards the end of the process:

make: *** [/etc/selinux/./policy/policy.] Error 1
dpkg: error processing selinux-policy-default (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2


Then this is the final response before I must hit enter and go back to the other prompt.

Errors were encountered while processing:
selinux-policy-default
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Failed [Z - exec shell to fix this situation]


So it looks like my problem is selinux-policy-default, so I went into PM and tried getting stuff for it, like the dev and tools and stuff, but they get this error in PM:

Error 1
dpkg: error processing selinux-policy-default (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2

I get the same error as above when I try to reinstall selinux-policy-default

I found the package manually but am unsure of how to install it without a ./configure, make depend && make, sudo make install It has a file called Makefile though.

If there is anything I can do to fix this please help, this is all so very frustrating:evil:

[illurim]

Update [22-Mar-2006]: I have resolved the sound issue, though I'm not entirely sure how. I should have written down the settings I fiddled with, but the short of it is, I toyed around with the default sound device settings (switched from HA Intel to MUART - rebooted, switched again, fiddled with the volume control setting which allowed me to switch between 2 other settings and rebooted again and it worked fine after that. I'll try to post more detail when I get home from work and can actually list the proper settings.

Update [21-Mar-2006]: I managed to find a post elsewhere, unrelated to wine, but similar sort of error message and ran their fix:


mkdir -p $HOME/.kde/socket-`hostname`


It allowed me to use the Audio tab in winecfg and select options. Sound still didn't work properly with just OSS checked, so I ended up checking ALSA as well. Sound worked in the game then, but it's very jittery. There are also a few timing issues (i.e. I click on the auction house and the bell that dings comes up seconds after it should). Not a major drama, but still looking for any assistance toward resolving this one. I'll post back here with an update if I manage to resolve it.

Hi all,

I've now got my WoW installation working under Wine. However, I now suffer from a new problem, seemingly more related to Wine than WoW. I have no sound. However, when I go into the winecfg and click on Audio, Wine actually exits with the following:


Creating link /home/illurim/.kde/socket-erilaz.
can't create mcop directory


Which is odd, since I'm using gnome, not kde. I have no idea what it's trying to do or how to fix it. I've searched through the WineHQ site, but if there's something there, I can't find it. I did a search on google for the "can't create mcop directory" but very little that actually made sense to me exists.

Is anyone able to provide assistance, please?

[tommyd]

Hello. I got the game working (wine 0.9.10/Breezy/Nvidia 5700). Followed the tuturial to the T. My problem is that the performance is awful when compared to windows. This is one of the only reasons I even still have to use that evil OS. Anyways. I've looked around and always find posts with people having performance problems but never any answers. My fps are significantly lower than windows and my mouse is really jerky (it is a logitech mx500 and I have used logitech_applet to set the dpi and everything). Any help would be appreciated.

[jkeyes0]

you know, I was really excited to get WoW working in linux as well, but my FPS is just crappy. I'm getting about 9fps on average (this is my laptop, with an ATI Radeon 9600 Mobility Pro Turbo card in it, if that matters...). I've got the ATi drivers set up appropriately (as far as I know).

Anyone have ideas on how to speed up the game in wine?

[alinuxfan]

i am not sure what I am getting for framerates but it is enough to play. I'll log in and check here in a bit and see.

[jkeyes0]

I may have found my problem. I ran glxgears to get my frames per second, and it was something like 100 - 140fps... as I've seen from others, it should be somewhere around 2000. Looks like I need to work harder on my video card / monitor settings.

[alinuxfan]

I am have told that glxgears isn't a good benchmark, but yeah your numbers should be above that.
My fix was to install a nvidia card and now everything is smooth (It was a major upgrade that I needed to do anyway)
I just never had any luck with my ATI cards. I know that probably isn't the option you are headed towards. good luck getting your video card set up correctly

[jkeyes0]

should the glxgears fps be done in fullscreen mode or not? When I'm not running it fullscreen, I get about 2500fps, but when it is fullscreen, it's 100fps. maybe that's the issue... I was doing it wrong?

[larsemil]

to me it sounds that all users with a aticard are the ones with crappy performance. is the atidriver really that bad?

[Talikar]

to me it sounds that all users with a aticard are the ones with crappy performance. is the atidriver really that bad?
Simple answer- Yes.

The ATi drivers suck. First off, their automatic installer will not "create" a configuration file if it is not already present. It only seems to reconfigure a pre-made one.

Second, it doesn't even do that properly, as most the settings inside disallow a normal user from using the drivers with Direct Rendering at all; at least it was the case for me.

Third, with it installed perfectly (or so one thinks) something seems busted. For example, Nexuiz is missing text, inside the game has nothing but a black screen... At least your gun shows.... Another example, Doom 3 is missing the menu itself. Not sure how to fix both, probably need to poke around the configuration file some more...

I don't see why they don't just port the windows drivers to linux instead of slowly making new drivers for linux. Unless of course they are porting them, in which case, how many people are working on the linux drivers? one? ~ Another reason the drivers are really bad; ati doesn't love linux.

[Plastic Snake]

Well, I've got the actual game running thanks to this Howto, but I have a rather large problem. I was on a wind rider when I logged last (on windows), and then I decided to switch over to linux. It worked fine as I was flying until I got to Orgrimmar, and then it promptly crashed. Now, whenever I try to log in, it crashes, making the game entirely unplayable. Any suggestions?

Edit: Realized I completely forgot the WoW patch for wine. Works perfectly now!

[tommyd]

Well, I installed the latest nVidia driver and my fps seem to be close to what I get in windows, but the feel of the pointer when using the mouse is jerky. That is the biggest problem now. That and sound.

[jkeyes0]

Well, I've got Ubuntu on my desktop, and for some reason WoW with Wine runs just as poorly as it does on my laptop (desktop has an ATi Radeon X800 Pro, laptop has a 9600 Pro).

Frustrated, but not giving up. Anyone know any sneaky hints that will make this work?

[erthian]

You can try to run
wine WoW.exe -d3d

In my experience this will let you change Video settings in WoW.

I followed this guide, and i couldn't get my frame rate up at all, and it would crash with the memory error every one is getting.

I ran it with -d3d and dropped down some settings, and its working great now. I dont know what difference that made, but I can even put my settings back up now, and it still runs smooth.

I am running two monitors, and when I drag it from one to the other it still crashes on me, with the memory error. I would like to figure out how to load a different xorg.conf file with just one monitor just for playing games.. hmm.

[jhartford]

How do you copy WoW into Linux from the Windows partition?

[Grog140]

How on earth do I install this so Wine can run WoW?

When trying the cd's I get the insert disk thing, I have copied the cd's but the message still comes up and I dont know how I would make wine think it switched or something. I also have a installed WoW directory however I cannot run the WoW.exe with wine.

Please tell me what to do :)

Check to make sure the directx folder on disk one got copied to where you copied the cd's to, I had this same problem, and that was the cause.

If you already have it installed, you can simply copy it over.
Make sure you have configured Wine as in Fist Post too.
Assuming you have it installed on a window dir (on hda1):

sudo mkdir /media/windows
sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/windows/ -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222
cp -Rv /dev/hda1 /media/windows/Program \Files/World\ of\ Warcraft/ /home/username/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/

That will copy everything over, no need to install it under linux/wine again.

After this copy, make sure you have edited the /WTF/Config.cfg file according to First Post..


Once thats done, you can execute it with wine WoW.exe -opengl

[Grog140]

Alright, I found the problem with getting it running, and it was running fine (the menue was at least) BUT!

I installed the patch 1.10 and now The majority of the visuals are just black except for the buttons, menu bars and minimap.

And I could see the visuals such as the gate in the beginning log in part before I updated.

[cerebrix]

a ton of things changed in the renderer. its probobly going to take a couple of weeks to get wine's code adjusted to compensate for it. patience my young undead priest, patience

[Gizida]

Anyone succeeded in making it work with a i810 chipset? I get ~500fps in glxgears (yes i know this is not a benchmark) and the game runs pretty smooyhly under windows. but with wine i get something like 1fps!!!
I use the ubuntu drivers wich come with dapper. Will installing the dri snapshots solve the problem?

[pataphysician]

[jkeyes0]

sorry, double post...

[pataphysician]

Try this:

sudo apt-get build-dep wine


turns out that not only was wine not working, but x was broken entirely after the install (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=155819). ended up removing wine and, with the help of a user named bimberi in #ubuntu, got x working again. people keep telling me to check in /usr/lib for various files, but for me they always end up being in /usr/X11R6/lib. i'm guessing this is the problem. once i install wine the system expects things to be in /usr/lib like they are for everyone else. i'll continue to mess around with it and hope i don't hose the whole thing again. thanks for the reply!

From: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=4031.

"1.9.x In this patch Blizzard added the new raid Dungeon of Anhq'arai. Other features can be found here and details here

What works
Installing, playing. Everything works in-game. Opengl/wgl.c do not need patching anymore, with CVS. The game is almost playable without patches, once you've made the necessary changes in the game directory. "

Maybe update the front page to show that the glx patch isn't required from 0.9.9 onwards.

Also, perhaps mention a warning that prelink can break wine (it messes up ld-2.3.5.so). The fix is to remove prelink and reinstall linux-kernel-686 and initramfs-tools

There's a mention over at http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=4031.

Hi, I'm having some problems with WINE.

I'm using 0.9.6, and when I try to run "winecfg" or "wine (placeapphere)" I get this junk.

Any Ideas?

EDIT: Ok, got around this by just using a normal installation of WINE< we'll see how it works later. Anyway, silly newb question here....

try coping the dll files in /windows/system too, so if that helps...
or, delete the files, and copy them again?

i had this once.. in the end i solved this by

$ mv .wine/drive_c/Prog files/WoW /home/user/
$rm -rf .wine
$wine
$mv /home/user/wow .wine/drive_c/Prog files/
$cp *.dll .wine/drive_c/windows/system32


(if you move the wow dir, its instant, so you dont ghave to wait till it has moved the 4GB of data..as long as its on the same drive ofcourse)

[K-Zodron]

Yay, moved the mfc42.dll to .../system/ and the patcher started...lets see what error appears next, heh :P

Thanks!

Ok, got it installed, but I'm getting horrible FPS. Do I need to install new drivers for my video card?

I have a highendish system, and I get 60 fps normally under windows. Thanks.

EDIT: Ok, I get past the login screen now, start loging in, and then everything goes black. I have a radeon x800xt pe coming from a fresh install. Oh, and at the login screen, the performance is still horrible.

Depends what card you have? For Ati or Nvidia cards its best to install the drivers..

[Tea]

I have the flgrx drivers installed, and the card is an ATI Saphire X800XT PE (AGP). I can get up to 30fps when I run everthing on low in -d3d mode, but in -opengl it gets cut in half, not to mention that the game looks horrible, with grainy textures etc.

Also of note, when I load the game, and get a "Character with that name allready exists" message, the game suddenly slows to a crawl.

[geeknation]

I just followed the tutorial and got it working without any problems. Just updated my nVidia driver and it's looking quite good!:D

No more booting into Windows for me!

[rorschach]

Hi, I'm having some problems with WINE.

I'm using 0.9.6, and when I try to run "winecfg" or "wine (placeapphere)" I get this junk.

err:imagelist:ImageList_ReplaceIcon no color!
err:imagelist:ImageList_ReplaceIcon no color!
err:imagelist:ImageList_ReplaceIcon no color!
err:imagelist:ImageList_ReplaceIcon no color!
Application tries to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.


I have this exact issue when I try to follow the instructions on the winehq how-tonfor 0.9.11.
I am now going back through and double-checking each step
any ideas what caused the error?

[rorschach]

Well.
I went through and followed the steps presented on the WineHQ forum... unsuccessfully.

Everything *looks* fine... until I try to invoke winecfg. Then I get the error above (err:imagelist:ImageList_ReplaceIcon no color!), and no window pops up.
if I try to start the install for WoW - same thing, though I do hear the WoW sounds in the background (with no problems)

So - I'm guessing this is a display issue - anyone want to help?

[Rakanishu]

Hi.
I'm having some problems in the beginning of this guide.

I have completely uninstalled Wine through Synaptic.

I have checked in Synaptic that I hav the build-essential package.

But when I issue the command:
sudo apt-get build-dep wine
I get the message:
The build-depends cannot be satisfied because the package bicu-34.dev cannot be found.

Furthermore, when I try to extract the downloaded wine source, I get this message:
tar: This doesn't look like a tar archive
tar: Jumping to next header
tar: Read 1982 byte from wine-0.9.6.tar.bz2

Plus, I get another error when I try to use the patches:
Can't find file to patch at input line 4
with the
wine-cvs-glx.diff
and
Can't find file to patch at input line 3 with the
wine-wow-fixes.patch

Very thankful for any help!

[Rakanishu]

I succeeded downloading and extracting a newer version of Wine, and I managed to patch it up.
But the problem with 'sudo apt-get build-dep wine' still remains.
The command line is telling me that it cannot find the package 'lib icu-34.dev'
I have checked for it in Synaptic and googled for it without any results.

Thanks for any help!

[Caudata]

I'm trying to install wine now after using the apt comman to build dependencies I recieved the following:
sudo apt-get build-dep wine
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Note, selecting libfontconfig1-dev instead of libfontconfig-dev
E: Build-dependencies for wine could not be satisfied.

Anyhoo I got annnoyed and tried doing it all manually and during the "make" process I had the following error:
/home/caudata/downloads/wine/wine/dlls/x11drv/xim.c:576: undefined reference to `XCreateIC'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
winegcc: gcc failed.
make[2]: *** [winex11.drv.so] Error 2

make[1]: *** [x11drv] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/caudata/downloads/wine/wine/dlls'
make: *** [dlls] Error 2

Anyone have a clue what to do at this point in the build obviously I'm missing "winex11.drv.so". Any ideas what it is, or how to fix the problem. Thanks for any help, later!

[Caudata]

Just great I did a search for "winex11.drv.so" and at least found it, but as part of the WINE package in ubuntu. Though that really doesn't help me any. The search listed this as it's path: usr/lib/wine/winex11.drv.so. Oh well more searching.

[K-Zodron]

Aff...problems problems problems...

I get the error #132 when the agreement screen should appear =/ I have followed this tutorial 100% and it works fine with wine Wow.exe -d3d (Without textures, quite limited screensize, laggyyyy)

I get the 2 first screens ("10 years of warcraft..." and the map pic~~), then it crashes :<

I get this into my command prompt (Before the crash I assume):

I have a problem with the mousebug in World of Warcraft, so I hope some of you can help me. I want to know if it's possible to edit a file or something that will fix the mousebug, instead of using the patches?

[makisupa123]

Built a new deb, copied WoW from a XP installation, and got it running. My FPS is about half of what i get in windows. It is running in openGL mode. 25 as an average until spinning...then it goes down to about 15 or so. Is there any tweaks that i haven't seen in any of these threads that will help? Is there certian modules in xorg that need to be loaded that will help (of the top of my head i have GLcore, dri, and glx loaded).


Using a nvidia 6600 256 mb, 1 GB ram, with a sempron 2800. Like i said, in windows get about 45-50 with drops into the high 30's. Any ideas?


Thanks,

Mak.

Installing xlibs-dev and libxft-dev from synaptic fixes this problem.

You should also install libxml2-dev, libxslt1-dev, libfreetype6-dev, fontforge and any other x-libraries that show a 'no' when you do ./configure if you don't have them.

Then re-run ./configure, make depend && make

edit: added bold section

cheers.

This thread inspired me to come back to Linux, after having to use Windows for the past year to play WoW. :)

Using a nvidia geforce3 ti500, wine 0.9.6 compiled with these patches under breezy my performance was quite a bit lower compared to windows. (avg. 10-15fps in zones where I was generally not near many other people)

Installed Dapper, (latest xorg, nvidia drivers) and built wine 0.9.9 using the patches linked in the first post and now I'm getting a solid 25-30fps even in crowded areas like IF. I've seen it jump up to 50fps inside buildings in IF, which never happened in windows.
My latency has also improved greatly, from 180-200ms avg in windows to 69-79ms in linux.

Overall, the game plays better for me under Linux than it did in windows. Much kudos for kidcharles, excellent guide. :KS

I was wondering if anyone here can play music through xmms/rhythmbox/whatever when playing WoW. I use Cedega, and well, i can't :(. WoW seems to need complete access to /dev/dsp, this means no esound daemon which my music player needs. Disabling esd in the media player and setting it to Alsa (just like Cedega) doesn't help either.
Can anyone confirm wine also has/doesn't have this problem?

Hmm i just read that you need a card which supports hardware mixing, such as a SB Live or Audigy. Does anyone have such a card? If you do, can you use wine + <insert favorite musicplayer> both over Alsa together?

I'm using SB Live! and listening to music while gaming works fine. Beep-media-player's output is set to ALSA.

[Mon]

I'm using SB Live! and listening to music while gaming works fine. Beep-media-player's output is set to ALSA.

Thanks this was the reaction i hoped for. However a friend of mine also has a SB Live! but can't play music (yet) using Alsa. I hope he did something wrong.. I'm planning on buying a Live! this week if it should work.

Does this mean i can ditch ESD completely? Or does Gnome (and KDE) need a deamon to write audio to instead of just letting Alsa handle it?

[mcletter]

I followed all the steps, seemed to work great. Then installed WoW on another Windows computer and copied files over to this one, tried to run WoW with wine WoW.exe -opengl, and got this..

I can't get "sudo apt-get build-dep wine" working just comes with this:

sudo apt-get build-dep wine
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Unable to find a source package for wine



I had this same problem.. it is just not having the proper repositories searched by apt. Adding the wine repositories directly through synaptic didnt work for me (it couldnt download the repo headers).

Just add the following lines to /etc/apt/sources.lis

( Edited snippet with the proper repo's)

For Ubuntu Dapper (6.06):

deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt dapper main
deb-src http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt dapper main


For Ubuntu Breezy (5.10):

deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt breezy main
deb-src http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt breezy main


then call 'sudo apt-get update' to refresh your repository listings.

After that, 'sudo apt-get build-dep wine' worked for me.

Don't use an opengl32.dll from Windows, you must use the Wine builtin copy.

You ran out of memory whilst WoW was performing an anti-reverse-engineering scan. This is probably a bug in Wine or WoW itself, but might simply be due to you not having enough memory. Unload some apps and try again.

Hmm, Seems like a bug in Wine to me, I've got a gig of ram and was only running firefox and gAIM at the time, but I will try that too. THanks :)

Will post after I give it a shot.

Hey,

i have a little question.
Can someone make a wine package with the mouse patch applied?
Im not that great with compiling and patching.

Thanks!

[Technoviking]

Wine 0.9.13 is out, anyone know if it is patched for WoW.

[Rody]

i hope so i have the issue that i cant select anything with my mouse, and the "apt-get build-dep wine"
0 upgraded, 123 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
E: Package libicu28-dev has no installation candidate
E: Failed to process build dependencies

I will figure a way around this eventualy but it may take a while. I have been away from linux for about 5-6 years and some things have changed alot and others seem to have stayed the same.

MSI dimond plus
Gforce 7800 512mb
2ghz ram
sblive 5.1
lots of storage.
Dapper 6.06 beta.

I just finished compiling it and loaded it up... It is not patched for wow and for some reason it wanted to put my sound files in /.kde very odd. I am very new to this so i am gona stumble along. I am compiling 0.9.12 with wow patch now, we will see how it works.

[Alexeon Lanar]

I was about to install wine, but decided against it (after all, I already have windows on my PC.) Problem is that I decided this after I ran apt-get build-dep wine....

How can I erase those files from my PC?
I dont want to try erasing it myself since I dont want to do something dumb and erase important files.

[unknownclient]

I just wanted to post my experience with wine and wow. I had wow running under wine 9.6 then switched back to winblows. Recently I moved back to ubuntu. I was unable to get wow 1.10.x to work with wine 9.6. I used the how to on the winehq site and this thread to get wow working again. First I used wine 10 with the patch from winehq. I applied the patch and compiled and installed wine. Second before running wine, I made the file ld.so.conf and ran the command this how to instructs you to do. Then I ran wine and it created the .wine folder. I placed the dll files in system32 and then ran Mozilla control under wine. I copied the tome files from the cds onto my hard drive and ran the install off my hard drive. Then I downloaded and installed the update from fileplanet.com. I changed my wtf in the wow directory to what this how to suggests. But I found that the "set=glxopengl" made the game run slower. Right now I am getting an average of 36 FPS in IF or SW. Long live the Linux OS!!

SET gxApi "opengl"

i think is the correct option, unless i am looking in the wrong spot.

I have installed World of Warcraft with help from this guide. I have one problem that I hope you can help me with. When I try to start the game with wine WoW.exe -opengl I get this message:

"World of Warcraft was unable to start up 3D acceleration."

I guess it have something to do with my xorg.conf file, but I'm not sure what it is, or even if this file is configured wrong.
This problem is not happening everytime I try. If I reboot, I can generally play. But if I try to start the game some hours after I logged in, I can't.

Here is my xorg.conf file:

# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.

I know I already asked this, but what command do I put on the terminal to erase all the files downloaded by sudo apt-get build-dep wine?
I decided I didnt want wine because I am running out of space, and dont really need it. Please help me.

[Grog140]

Is there anything that will install the correct dependencies for wine in dapper?

"sudo apt-get build-dep wine" doesn't work.

[Rody]

The WineHQ APT repository at sourceforge is now officially obsolete - it was slow, would time out frequently, and could only handle one version of a package at a time.

If you have added one of the following lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list, you need to remove it:

deb http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt binary/
deb-src deb http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt source/

Instead, use one of the following two lines:

For Ubuntu Dapper (6.06):
deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt dapper main
deb-src http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt dapper main

For Ubuntu Breezy (5.10):
deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt breezy main
deb-src http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt breezy main

Budgetdedicated.com has nicely provided us with the new APT repository, which has a ton of bandwidth and allows for different distributions, as well as more obvious upgrading (to go from breezy to dapper, simply change the word breezy to dapper just as you would with the official repositories).

These instrusctions are also available at http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb

If you have any Wine-related questions, feel free to post them here. It would also be nice if this thread were stickied.

PLEASE help. I am at a loss for what to do now.

[Grog140]

Alright, I have wine installed in dapper now.

But World of Warcraft is running as if my graphics card isn't installed (which it is)

I am thinking its a dapper problem because I had it working in breezy.

[Grog140]

I have figured out what my problem is. I installed the nvidia-glx driver properly but when I do a "glxinfo | grep rendering" it says I do not have direct rendering. Where in breezy I did.

Really the only thing thats different is that I have XGL/compiz installed. But Iam positive that the drivers are installed.

It has a small pop up window as well that says "Your 3D accelerator card is not supported by World of Warcraft. Please install a 3D accelerator card with dual-TMU support." Thing about this is, I have had WoW running on this video card in windows. Works quite well actually. Any thoughts?

XGL uses a different OpenGL library than the nvidia/ati ones (the mesa libraries) so you can't get direct rendering while running XGL. So you can't play WoW. Just start it up in a new Xserver that has direct rendering (use xinit) and you'll be fine.
I followed instructions I found on this forum to set up an XGL session through GDM so I can choose XGL or plain ol' Xorg when I log in. That's another way you can play WoW and use XGL.

So wine 0.9.7 worked well (minus the no ingame object interaction, even after the patch to "fix it")

From the Above mentioned Repo's I installed 0.9.13, Now when I run I get a black wine Window, with the WoW "ui" controlls flickering, but the Background with the Dark-Portal scene isn't showing... The Console is telling me...

I am interested in learning more about WINE. Does anyone know how to get age of empire 2 working with WINE?

[iamhowdy]

So wine 0.9.7 worked well (minus the no ingame object interaction, even after the patch to "fix it")

From the Above mentioned Repo's I installed 0.9.13, Now when I run I get a black wine Window, with the WoW "ui" controlls flickering, but the Background with the Dark-Portal scene isn't showing... The Console is telling me...

Run: wine WoW.exe -opengl
Wine doesn't work so well with Direct3D rendering in WoW yet.

Run: wine WoW.exe -opengl
Wine doesn't work so well with Direct3D rendering in WoW yet.

opengl is specified in my config.wtf it's worked Fine until 0.9.13 from the Repo....

[Joetheodd]

I'm having trouble running WoW (hm, seems we all are). I didn't configure with opengl (oops) and so I just downloaded opengl.dll and glu32.dll. Now I get this:

Are you guys that are having problems compiling Wine yourself? There are patches that are needed to be able to run WoW in Wine, so it is necessary to do this.

If you are compiling it yourself, are you following the instructions on this thread? If so, they are quite dated. Up-to-date instructions for compiling Wine can be found on the wiki, here (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BuildingWineFromSource).

If you are running Dapper, I have built a pre-patched debian package that you can use instead. You can find that here (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Wine) under "Latest version of Wine with WoW patch".

Also, as another poster said, there are issues running 3D applications while XGL is running.

Edit: I recomend changing this thread to redirect to the World of Warcraft (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WorldofWarcraft) page on the wiki.

Aye, Built from source (and patched) and it works fine, I made the mistake of thinking that since the Repo was listed in a Forum about wow that the Binary was built with said patch, I was mistaken...

I might as well just install dapper, because theres the pre-built package.

Does anyoen else find that the curser response is delayed while running under wine? This is the biggest thing preventing me from wiping my Windows partition unfortunatly. There is like a 1/16 of a second delay and it gets quite annoying.

Or am I just going to have to grin and bare it untill Blizzard releases a Linux version of WoW? (HA, like that will happen)

[urvaius]

I just got this to work. thank you so much for doing this. i have not been able to get the patcher but i just patched my windows copy and copied all the files to my linux drive and it works great. funny all my windows is used for now is to patch wow hehe.

Actually in the Early days of Closed Beta there was a Linux Client IIRC... However it was phenomonally buggy and disappeared after one of the early beta patches.... so while I'm "stupidly" optomistic for a native binary, I recommend not holding your breath ;P

On a side note anyone else having a "spastic camera" issue from time to time? I have a feeling it relates to getting too close to the Verticle axis when moving the camera...

[eqisow]

Grog140, I haven't noticed the mouse issue and I'm afraid I don't know what might cause it. :(

urvaius, you're welcome. I'm glad I could help! Btw, there are plenty of sites that you can download patches from. You can probably also find them via BitTorrent. There's really no need to keeps Windows around just for patching.

[Grog140]

I re-installed and fixed the mosue thign but I want to put my relolution to 800x600 but it isnt an option for some reason. There is only 1024x768.

Does anyone know whats up?

Also when I log into my character a pacth download thing comes up that never used to.

I fix one problem and cause 2 others...grr

EDIT:I got those things fixed but I got another problem, lol. None of my game settings are saving. No key bindings, video settings, nothing! Actually They did save once but they aren't saving anymore....hmm For instance my terrain setting are set to the way I want but whenever I log in it ALWAYS goes into 1024x768 instead of what I set (800x600)

[eqisow]

@Grog140

You don't have WoW installed in root do you? I know it seems silly, and it might not even run at all that way, but you have to check the obvious. :)

Other than that, I'm not sure. I've never run into the problem. You could always go into your WoW folder and edit your config.wtf file in the WTF folder. You can set and save your resolution here.

Change SET gxResolution "1024x768" to SET gxResolution "800x600".

If you go into the Account folder inside the WTF folder, you can even edit you macros and other account specific settings if need be.

[sornen]

With the upgrade to 6.10 I get intermittent freezing in wow which lasts 1 to 3 s every 10 to 15 s. Not sure what could be the cause of the problem.

Wow was working fine with 5.10.

[eqisow]

You mean 6.06, 6.10 will be out in 4 months. ;)

As far as the freezing goes, I'm afraid I don't know. I've been running WoW on Dapper for months ith no problems. :(

[sornen]

6.06 :/

The problem seems to be that CPU usage is around 96 to 100 %, but that doesnt seem right for the type of CPU that I have:
AMD Athlon64 3200+ (2GHz) Socket 939 CPU.

Any suggestions for finding out why this happening or other diagnostics that I can do gratefully appreciated.

Even without wow running my CPU is spiking to about 100 % every 15 s, which may be the cause of the problem. Anyway of finding out what process is hogging the resources?

[eqisow]

Perhaps WoW is using a software renderer instead of hardware acceleration? I'm not sure, but that would almost seem to fit the problem. I take it you have 3D acceleration (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto) working and followed the directions in the WoW wiki (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/WorldofWarcraft)?

[sornen]

Fixed the problem. It was going too smoothly for it to be software rendering.
What I did was look at System/Sytem Monitor under the Processes tab to see what was hogging cpu cycles. It turns out Beagle was evey 15 s or so using 80 % of the CPU capacity.

I went to System/Prefernces/Search & Indexing and turned off everything. And now wow is not freezing every 15 s. :)

[eqisow]

Awesome, glad you solved the problem.

If you want to keep the indexing running, you could always re-nice the process to give WoW priority.

[sornen]

How do you renice processes?

[eqisow]

Err, I can't recall exactly. I use KDE instead of Gnome. You should be able to do it from the system monitor though.

[sornen]

Oh yes I can by right clicking on the process, Thanks for your help.

[frobroj]

Just my personal feelings. I decided to pay $50 USD per year for the transgaming solution and I love it. Its worth the $50 per year for them to do all the work to test each WOW upgrade patch etc. Plus it infuses a little income into the Open Source world. I always try (with my limited budget) to contribute to any good Open Source project. It helps validate the fact that Open Source can be profitable. ;) Just my two cents...

[sheky]

hope im not thread jacking this at all but i'm having a problem of my own trying to install WoW on Ubuntu and I thought this would be the place to try.

When I copy all the CDs to a folder and run the installer from there I get the error from WoW not the terminal(after I agree to the TOS):

Unrecognized key "options". (AttributeParser::Parse)

and then it brings me back to the WoW main menu.

The reason I am not running it from CDs is because it all works and installs the first disc perfectly no errors, but when I get to put in the second CD the terminal wont let me eject my cdrom because it's in use.

is there a workaround to either of these problems? I am using breezy Ubuntu.

Please help! Im so close!!!

[eqisow]

When installing from the CD, have you tried running the umount command?

sudo umount /media/cdrom

That should allow it to eject.

Edit: Sorry it took you so long to get a reply shecky, I usually try to stay on top of this thread.

[=Kevin=]

First of all, hi everyone... I'm kind of new to this forum :)

I recently was fed up with XP and decided to install Dapper on my system (had it dual-booted before), and everything works perfectly....almost.

I had no problems running WoW with wine before, but when I was flying from a flypath to another city (not the 1st flypath tho) the game crashed, and I can't login into that character again, instead it gives me this nice lil error:

http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/1141/schermafdruk1fk.th.png (http://img260.imageshack.us/my.php?image=schermafdruk1fk.png)

I can still login to my other chars, but I would like to log in to this char.
My second problem is that the sound worked before, but also now it doesn't work anymore.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Kevin

Ps.Sorry for the rubbish english, it's late and i'm tired of getting this thing to work ;)

[eqisow]

If it's just one character, you could try clearing that characters configuration files. They will be at home/username/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/World of Warcraft/WTF/Account/wowaccountname/server/character.

For the audio, does the sound in the rest of your system work? If so, you could try opening up winecfg (just type winecfg in the terminal) and going to the audio tab. Once there, you can try changing your audio drivers. I find OSS works best for WoW. If that's a no-go, changing the hardware acceleration may help as well. Basically, just fiddle with those settings and see what you can get.

Good luck, and let us know how it goes. :)

Edit: I just read your error message. It says a file is corrupt. Does it tell you it's the same file every time, or is it random? At any rate, I would also try running Repair.exe in your WoW folder.

[=Kevin=]

Thanks alot eqisow, I' ll try your tips and edit this post to let you know how it goes!

EDIT:
Repair.exe didn't work...

EDIT 2:
Woot! I cleared the home/username/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/World of Warcraft/WTF/Account/wowaccountname/server/character folder and now I can play my char again :D Thanks so much eqisow :)

Now I' ll try to get my sound to work ;)
All other sounds work, even the sound in WoW worked before..

EDIT 3:
This happens when I try to access the sound tab in winecfg:

Any suggestions?

Go to a terminal and open kcontrol. Go to Sound and Multimedia, then Sound System. Uncheck "Enable the Soundsystem." Go back to winecfg and try to change your sound drivers to OSS again.

(Don't worry, you will still ahve sound on your computer when you disable the sound system)

Edit: I may not be able to post again for 6-7 hours, so good luck. :)

Edit again: If you're still having winecfg issues, what version of Wine are you running? There is a documented bug here (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4051), but it seems to be for older version. It also seems to center around support for arts being bad. Disabling the sound system, like I said, should take care of arts. If not, try renaming winearts.drv.so witht he following command:

sudo cp /usr/lib/wine/winearts.drv.so /usr/lib/wine/winearts.drv.so_backup

If you are running an old version of Wine (winecfg should tell you, and the latest version is 0.9.14), see here (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Wine). You want the one that says "Latest Wine with WoW patch".

Yet another edit: The problem also seems to be solved in Dapper, so if all else fails, consider upgrading.

(OK, I'm really leaving now, good luck!)

I think I am getting closer to having this work, on account of this thread. I have one (maybe strange) question though.

After setting up all the repositories and finally getting the dependencies for wine, I need to start over and build a new one. I know the commands for getting rid of a package, but even after I type them in and it tells me that nothing was removed because no packages of that name exist, but when I type 'wine' into the console, it's clearly still installed.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Edit: Just for further clarification

slax0r@Hyrule:/etc/apt$ sudo apt-get --purge remove wine

Did you install Wine with something besides dpkg? (ie. with a regular binary or with make/makeinstall)

If you did, it wouldnt be in the package manager.

[slax0r]

Yeah, I just followed the guide and did the basic ./config and make install. Turns out everything was in /usr/local/bin so I just cleared it out (it's a brand new install and wine is the only thing I've installed myself).

I got some tips about using checkinstall.

[eqisow]

There is a package that already has the WoW patch included. Just use the following commands to install it:

wget http://thepiratecove.org/files/wine-0.9.15_wow_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i wine-0.9.14_wow_i386.deb
rm wine-0.9.14_wow_i386.deb

Hello all,

After much muckin around, I have successfully made myself a neat little chroot, install wine and have everything working nicely.

Except wow.

Patched it, got extra needed files apt-get install, etc. I have this error now, and can not for the life of me find anything on the web to fix it.


X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 143 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 3 (X_GLXCreateContext)
Serial number of failed request: 361
Current serial number in output stream: 362


I've tried installing more bits of X, graphics card drivers (for the 32bit chroot) etc. etc. Everything else wine seems to work but X doesn't want to give WoW any resources. Anyone help please.

EDIT: 64Bit Ubuntu 6.06, ATI X600 Graphics, 1Gb RAM.

I'm excited about being able to play WoW with (K)ubuntu, but I can't download the files from "kaspersandberg.com". It seems to be down. Perhaps this is temporary (changing servers?) .. but either way, does anyone know where else I can find the two files I need (wine-cvs-glx.diff and wine-wow-fixes.patch)? I'd really like to get this working. :(

Edit: It seems the site is back up. I hope that was just a temporary problem!

[clarke.rainey]

Well the only problem that I have now is that my sound does not work... I use an Audigy 2 ZS notebook, which is alsa... but for some reason it does not show up in the winecfg under alsa... but it does under OSS and so does the onboard sound which I hate... but for some reason I cannot choose which one I want it to use in winecfg... any help would be wonderful... and just tell me what info you need...

I did a clean install of Kubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake. Then I installed Wine 0.9.14 with wow.new.patch.0.9.13-1. WoW installer fonts are so tiny that they're unreadable. I click on topmost button and installer hangs. If someone knows anything about this, please share information. WoW worked fine when I used Kubuntu Breezy Badger.

[clarke.rainey]

The installer is not really hanging... you need to give it like 5-10 minutes of sitting there... then it goes right ahead!..

Thanks, now it works fine, except that it only runs at 15-20 fps. Could be Nvidia driver related problem. I recall that with some older driver it ran at 30-40 fps.

[clarke.rainey]

Well mine will not go above 30FPS pretty much... but even when it is most busy it will not go below 20... I think that there may be some sort of problem with teh FPS counter... becuase it is really smooth...

[Gendo.nerv]

Hello, I'm very new to Ubuntu and I've been trying to get WoW to work. I read a lot of the guides on the forums here but they seem sort of complicated. I downloaded the wine patch for WoW, I think, and Im only having a few problems. Since I have my laptop set up to dual boot with Windows XP I tried just going to where WoW.exe is located and opening it with Wine, and it worked except for a lot of really messed up textures, on the ground mostly, while Im playing.

Is there any way to fix this and keep playing off my windows drive?

[smaugslayer]

I followed the latest instructions for installing the wow patched version of wine. However, when I try to install wow, I get the following error:


Sorry the installer could not be initialized
Unrecognized key "options". (AttributeParser::Parse)

Any suggestions?

Thx for the help
