No sound and low FPS..

[SephirothXIIIX]

I followed the directions located here, so I could play World of Warcraft in Ubuntu..

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WorldofWarcraft

It worked well, except.. My frames per second are pretty low (10-20), compared to what I normally get in WoW (40-50)..

I copied the WoW folder from my NTFS drive, so I do not believe video options inside of WoW are the problem, because I used to get a higher FPS with the same settings, in Windows..

I also do not have sound..

Any suggestions on how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated.. :D

So the WoW folder is on a linux drive now? NTFS seems slower than ext3 on my machine, so you might want to make sure it's not on an NTFS drive.

It is on an ext3 drive..

I'm not sure, since I don't play WoW. You should try chatting with wine support at http://www.winehq.com/site/irc

Have you run winecfg to configure sound? I bet you'll be able to get the sound working but the FPS will be much harder to work on.

Yeah, I ran winecfg before I ran WoW (and set Wine to use OSS), and that did nothing. But, I have fixed the sound now.. My sound did not work in multiple programs, but, I fixed it. I noticed that Linux gave me the option of using my onboard sound card, and that it would sometimes default to that (it defaulted to it after I installed Ubuntu, too). So, I disabled that card in my BIOS, and now my soud works..

As for the FPS, it's still low.

All I can say is make sure you have the latest version of wine (0.9.18) and report some of your specs to the great people over at www.winehq.com
