Hi all :)

After a quick search on the forums I have not found any information about this, but I hope there is information available none the less:
I am finally able to run my World of Warcraft under linux using Cedega.

Everything is fine and dandy. It installed without problems, it patched without problems, it runs without problems. Or actually, there is one tiny problem:

I can't click any NPCs, mobs or objects in the game :( All the interface stuff works (buttons, items, etc) but in the actual gameworld, I can't even hover over anything (when I move my mouse over, for example, an NPC, the NPC does not glow slightly to make clear that it's being hovered over)

This is rather irritating, because I can't play the game if I can't select NPCs :)

I can target people with /target <name> and probably using TAB to target mobs would also work, but if I can't click on a questgiver or vendor, the game gets very boring to play :-D
Does anyone have a clue what might be causing this? I really want to get rid of Windows once and for all, but if I can't play WoW on Linux, I'll be forced to at least have a small windows partition :(

Transgaming Forums - work around (http://transgaming.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3149&sid=ad258914a9a2c11baf1ab86a0b7abfbe)

This has been an issue. I found their first mouse solution to work fine for me.

EDIT: Note, this isn't a fix - you have to do it each time. Hopefully Transgaming will get it actually fixed soon.

if you go into the config file for cedega (different place depending on if you use Point2Play or command line cedega) and search for MemoryLayoutOverlay, uncomment that line, it should fix this.

And if you're using wine to play WoW and have the same issue? Both of those workaround don't work... has anyone got a fix when using wine?

I'm running WoW in wine, and I have exactly the same problem. Any ideas for wine fixes?

I was able to click before upgrading running while running WoW in direct3d mode. After upgrading I'm unable to click on anything regardless of mode.

Also I tried 'export WINEPRELOADER_SETVALEGACY="no"' to no avail.

Any help would be appreciated!

Running it with the -windowed switch has me clicking away!
