WoW and wine not playing nice.

[RonJohnson]

I have started getting this error after I downloaded and installed the patch. The install, initial movie and login to system worked. Next time I tried to run WoW I got the following output and error.

I have a GeForce FX Go 5200 with the latest nVidia drivers. If you need any other data please let me know.

I was getting this problem with the latest patch. It seems to do with blizzard harvesting information about your pc.

I fixed the problem by changing the directory

.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/World\ of\ Warcraft/WDB

to read only.

Well that helped get past the error. Now I'm having other issues with wow :cry: Now when WoW starts the system hangs. I can alt-tab and switch to the app but it'll take a few minutes to even give me the screen. When the screen does come up the mouse doesn't move. The audio is also very choppy. :-k

I have tried the Cedega TimeDemo and I'm not impressed with their software at all. For them wanting me to pay them to use I'd rather get what seems like better results with wine. I just need to get wine working again...

Thanks for the help sornen

The WDB folder is some kind of cache right? So if you can't write to it, then it seems quite logical that it would slow down the game, doesn't it? Have you tried to delete all it's contents, make it writable and then launch the game?
You're sure that your video driver hasn't been reset in the meantime, or something like that? It has happened to me before.

And I agree with you on the Cedega matter. I tried it out, and I couldn't even get Half-Life 2 working (which they are 'fully supporting'). There not real how-to. I'm sure that I could have made it work if I just tried long enough, but seriously, that's not what a program you eventually will pay for is worth.

I figured out the problem that I was having with mine. For some reason I can only run the game if I'm running 1024x768. Any higher and the game craps out. I'd like to eventually fix this but I'm up and running!!!

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I appreciate the help.
