[HOWTO] World of Warcraft [OUTDATED]

[SKLP]

I made a WoW under wine howto:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WorldofWarcraftHowto

This is the official discuss/support thread for it... ;-)


UPDATE: I've not updated the howto in a long time and I probably won't so it is probably OBSOLETE and not working. Sorry

[basse1989]

I'm playing WoW with the same setup and it works super nice. :D

I'm Selmak on the EU Burning Legion.

[Burkey]

Cool, I can NOT get WoW to work under Cedega, and so far have not had any decent support.. basically Cedega insists on switching to software mode.

Anyway, I tried with Wine 0.9.1 and guess what.. 3D acceleration is fine, but! whenever I try to run in opengl mode it gives me the unable to start 3D acceleration dialog and quits, under DX it runs reasonably but with a LOT of missing textures, making it unplayable.

I am on a 2Ghz laptop with integrated i915 graphics... I suspect there is a problem allocating memory for the textures? Or is it normal in DX mode?

Also, I have 1Gig RAM, I would love to reserve 128 of that for the video card...

[SKLP]

SET gxColorBits "24"
SET gxDepthBits "24"

Try changing those things to those specific values in WTF/Config.wtf

Tell me if that works; if so, i will add it to my howto ;-)

EDIT: This is to make OpenGL work

[SKLP]

I suspect there is a problem allocating memory for the textures? Or is it normal in DX mode?Wine's DirectX support is very limited so, yes, this is normal. (that's why we use OpenGL mode in the guide)

It doesn't seem to have anything on the "mouse bug", and that's the only thing keeping me from WOWing on Ubuntu. -MC

[SKLP]

It doesn't seem to have anything on the "mouse bug", and that's the only thing keeping me from WOWing on Ubuntu. -MCThe "mouse bug" = can't click stuff bug, or?

in that case we have wine_wowfixes which fixes that pretty nicely ;-)

[siplus]

I was using cedega, and the mouse problems i had included not being able to target with the mouse (had to F1-F5 and Tab everything)

I was directed here: http://cedegawiki.sweetleafstudios.com/wiki/World_of_Warcraft#Mouse_Issues

Section 2.2 fixed me up. I don't know if this is cedega specific, or if it will work with wine as well, but hopefully some googler will find this useful :-D

[callahan]

I just installed WoW again on my Breezy over the weekend. I did it somewhat differently than the howto here.

First, follow the instructions on http://www.winehq.com/site/download-deb for installing wine from souce code using the debian packages. Here they are paraphrased:


Add the following to your repositories (just stick it at the end of /etc/apt/sources.list or use synaptic to add it as a repository).

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


Next grab all the wine building dependencies:
sudo apt-get build-dep wine

Now grab but don't compile the wine source. This will fail out a the compilation part because you didn't do it as root:

mkdir ~/winesrc
cd ~/winesrc
apt-get --build source wine

The wine source needs to be patched for WoW to work. There are two fixes that you should apply. WoW needs a bug workaround in glPolygonOffset to see targetting rings and it needs a memory mapping fix in order to select things with the mouse. They are the same fixes as listed in the wiki (although the patch may not apply correctly if the wine version gets updated).


Next compile up a wine package and install it:

sudo apt-get --build source wine
dpk -i wine*.deb

I would expect this process to become easier as these workarounds are incorporated into the wine source code so that you just have to install wine from the repository as usual.


Installing WoW was also somewhat tricky. Stick the dll in your ~/.wine directory as directed under the Wiki. Then copy all of the CDs into some directory. A number of the files will be duplicated, you should end up with an autorun, Installation.exe, Installation.something, and 4 big data files. "wine Installation.exe" and wait a while. Then run wow several times (once for each of several patches). It's a rather lengthy process to get it all there and up to date.

[SKLP]

hmm, and I was just thinking about changing the wiki page to "debianize" the instructions. well, will do so when i have time ;)

[themainecane]

The "mouse bug" = can't click stuff bug, or?

in that case we have wine_wowfixes which fixes that pretty nicely ;-)

Its the bug where the mouse thinks the background is in front of the foreground objects, so you cannot click to target or select anything in game unless you look straight up so that the only thing behind whatever you're trying to target is the sky. Tell me of these wowfixes... are they part of the HOWTO that I missed? *rechecks the HOWTO* -MC

Fixes are applied in howto section "Installing Wine".

[Weav]

Great HowTo, looks like it has great potential, but still missing the vital "Installing WoW" section.

[basse1989]

If you already have WoW installed in windows/on another computer, just copy it to your ubuntu partition, cd there and do a "wine WoW.exe"

As Michael said
{
If you don't have it installed somewhere, just copy all the stuff from the cds to the same dir on the HD (some files will be duplicated, just overwrite them) and then just cd there and start the installation with "wine Installation.exe"
}

:D

[SKLP]

Great HowTo, looks like it has great potential, but still missing the vital "Installing WoW" section.Thank you.

And i think the Installing WoW part simply consists of inserting the cd's, copying the files to a folder, executing the installer and installing.

I didn't post that in the howto because i haven't tried it in a while so I'm not sure if it works.

[Burkey]

Ok, I actually went all the way to delete my Config.wtf and create a new one with ONLY the lines

SET gxApi "opengl"
SET gxColorBits "24"
SET gxDepthBits "24"


And it still switches resolution, flickers a bit and then says "Unable to start 3D Acceleration" :-(

I have been forced to play in windows to get my warlock to 60, but really want to solve this problem. It is very strange that it runs at reasonable speed under DirectX (with missing textures) and cannot even get going under OpenGL

:(

can u try and replace the current Config.wtf with this:
SET hwDetect "0"
SET gxColorBits "24"
SET gxDepthBits "24"
SET gxResolution "1024x768"
SET gxRefresh "60"
SET gxApi "OpenGL"
SET SoundOutputSystem "1"
SET SoundBufferSize "130"

And of course change your proper resolution and refresh rate (same as X is using) before trying ;)

good luck

[alynx]

Very good thread , I cant wait to get home and fix the DAMNED mousebug :razz:

[Burkey]

Ok, I re-installed Ubuntu 5.10 clean.. then installed wine and set my Config.wtf as above, I now get a different error.


Your 3D Accelerator is not supported by World of Warcraft. Please install a 3D accelerator card with dual-TMU support.


So a kind of progress I guess.. breakfast now but will try some more things when I get back, hope someone might be able to shed some light

[apoc]

Thanks for the howto, however I guess I failed somewhere :(

Heres the error when I do wine WoW.exe

wine: error while loading shared libraries: libwine.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I've followed the walktrough except the configure wine part. (where do I open regedit?)

Installing wow was copying a full patched game from my NTFS drive

The part for WTF/Config.WTF was added without trouble aswell.

So if you can help me fix it I would be happy :D If not how to I uninstall it as it does not show up in Synaptic anymore. Thanks

[trian]

well. My problem is starting WoW on my Aopen 1557G with a Radeon Mobility 9700 card. It just gets crooked, sound and everything else works great. I dont want to run with -opengl because the performance drop is too great. any ideas?

try this:

sudo -s
echo "/usr/local/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf
ldconfig

then close all terminals; and finally open a terminal and try to run WoW as described in the howto. good luck =)
then please tell me if thats helps, if so i will add to howto...
I dont want to run with -opengl because the performance drop is too great.WoW is not playable in wine without using the opengl mode AFAIK. The howto describes adding SET gxApi "OpenGL"which does the same thing as starting WoW.exe -opengl.

[SKLP]

Just a note: the 1.9 test patch seems to work in neither wine nor cedega. someone will probably fix soon tho...

What 3d accelerator are you using? what does "glxinfo | grep direct" give?
what did you install instead of nvidia-glx-dev?
and finally what does
glxgears -iacknowledgethatthistoolisnotabenchmark give? :D

[SKLP]

If not how to I uninstall it as it does not show up in Synaptic anymore. ThanksWoW was not installed through debian tools, hence it can't be removed using Synaptic. The best way to uninstall it is probably to cd into the source directory and type sudo make uninstall

[apoc]

Thanks SKLP, wow starts up fine now :) save for some looping sounds, maybe that was the part with regedit ? maybe you can specify in the guide where that file is ?

[Burkey]

I am on an Intel i915GM integrated video, which does accelerate SDL OpenGL apps and works fine in windows.


glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: Yes


I did not install any specific glx software, I just run with the Breezy defaults


glxgears -printfps
5151 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1030.031 FPS
5101 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1020.193 FPS
5084 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1016.682 FPS
5168 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1033.422 FPS


That is in 24-bit, in 16 it gives around 1500.

I do wonder about the GLX stuff, and this is not even isolated to just me, everyone I know using a i915 on Breezy has not got it working right, or have not used any 3D apps so don't know (yet)

Sadly I think it is a Breezy bug, since it worked out of the box on Hoary... how do I go about submitting this?

[alynx]

Finally i got it right :p :p

Now i cant wait to play

Thanks for a great guide , you helped me alot.

BTW , my windows xp sp 2 cd and w2k sp 4 cds is in my garbage can now.
I love it

Just a Guess here, but it sounds like the i915gm driver isn't loading Hardware accel support... (un)fortunately I refuse to use intel's graphics cards as they tend to be pretty flaky, and therefore can't direct you at which driver to throw at it.

redundant redundancey

[SKLP]

Thanks SKLP, wow starts up fine now :) save for some looping sounds, maybe that was the part with regedit ? maybe you can specify in the guide where that file is ?
You're welcome ;-)

regedit is the windows system registry editor, wine has a "clone" of it launchable from the command line by typing "regedit".

Looping sounds should be unrelated to the changes in registry that i included in my howto.

Looping sounds is normal at the loading screen but if you are experiencing it during gameplay, try to increase the SET SoundBufferSize value in Config.wtf a bit.

[Burkey]

Sadly, I do not have a choice of what video card to use, it is built into the laptop.

This is just plain stupid, so far I have not been able to get either Enemy Territory (native) or WoW(Wine/Cedega) or HL(Wine/Cedega) to work.

Looks like I have no choice but windows, this is really beginning to jade my view on Ubuntu since other people say they switched distro's simply because Breezy could not use their i915 right.

[alynx]

[QUOTE=SKLP]Sorry. I forgot one thing in my howto...

This was why I was failing the second time :cool:

So now i hope this wil do the trick

Hello SKLP, after playing awile I have some new questions :)

1. Stuff like UI window posistions does save the changes I've made, I figure I have to edit some write permission on some files ? but where ?

2. How to I make a Icon to launch the game instead of open the terminal each time ?

Keep up the good work :D

[Zodiac]

Hey SKLP, when do you think you will have the "Installing WoW" section completed?

Good work btw!

[thegnark]

i followed the steps on both my desktop and laptop... and it seems that opengl32.dll did not get built/installed/whatever. same error on both machines regarding the same file:


err:module:import_dll Library OPENGL32.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\Program Files\\World of Warcraft\\WoW.exe") not found
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\Program Files\\World of Warcraft\\WoW.exe" failed, status c0000135


even after a `sudo locate -u` and a `locate -i opengl32.dll`, nothing shows up on the system. I didn't install the nvidia-devel stuff since i have an ati chip. i did read that the ati stuff should be available as fglrx-devel, but `apt-cache search fglrx` returns only the restricted modules and xorg driver (yes, multiverse and universe are enables)


any thoughts?

[Gordie]

sudo -s
echo "/usr/local/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf
ldconfig

This was the code that ended up giving me the errors you describe thegnark, I had followed the howto, and ended up not doing the above statement the first time, and wow worked fine...

I just reversed the above changes and the error stopped happening.

You'll have to edit the /etc/ld.so.conf file like so:

sudo gedit /etc/ld.so.conf

Then just remove the line inside the file, save it and re-run ldconfig.

This should get you up and running

[Suentis]

I have gotten WoW working after a couple of bumps. But the problem I am having is that it is really choppy, both video and sound. I have an ATI 9800 video card if that helps. I am not sure what exactly is causing it as I have tried most of the solutions in this thread. Anyone have any advice?

Make the whole wow folder writeable...

To make an icon add a custom launcher to the panel in gnome and write something like wine /path/to/worldofwarcraft/WoW.exe as Command.

[SKLP]

try to install that and recompile wine

Why exactly would removing the library path wine is using from the system library path improve anything? it should only give errors like it cant load libwine etc

[SKLP]

Also, i think i will update the howto with wine 0.9.2, install instructions for wow, the ld.so.conf thingie, the fglrx stuff and also clarify how you can uninstall wow installed this way in the weekend.

[Naveed]

Getting the error: "World of Wacraft was unable to start up #3D Acceleration." when trying to run WoW, the screen flickers abit, changes resolution, flickers and back to normal then i get the error.

and config.wtf looks like this:
SET gxApi "opengl"
SET gxColorBits "24"
SET gxDepthBits "24"
SET gxResolution "800x600"
SET gxRefresh "60"
SET hwDetect "0"


Anyone that might know a solution on the problem?

Problem solved!

negative. i tried removing it and got this whenever i ran wine:

wine: error while loading shared libraries: libwine.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

i re-added the line and wine will rune fine, but is still missing opengl32.dll as previous error shows

any other ideas on this one? is there somewhere i can check to see if opengl.dll didn't build and therefore couldn't install ?

[apoc]

Make the whole wow folder writeable...

To make an icon add a custom launcher to the panel in gnome and write something like wine /path/to/worldofwarcraft/WoW.exe as Command.

Is there an easy command for this, when I edit a folder, all files in it does not change :/

:edit:
found the command another place on this forum
sudo chmod +w -R /path/to/your/folder/*
:edit:

I've tried to make that icon alot, and I'm pretty sure the path is /home/apoc/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Word of Warcraft/WoW.exe , but nomatter what it only works if I type it all into a terminal like this. wine /home/apoc/.wine/drive_c/Progra*/Wor*/WoW.exe . witch doesn't work as a icon either. :(

Bah, I`ll cant install xorg-driver-fglrx-dev

it says:
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
xorg-driver-fglrx-dev: Depends: xorg-driver-fglrx (= 6.8.0-8.16.20-0ubuntu16.1) but 8.19.10-1 is to be installed
E: Broken packages


I`ve installed the ATI driver, 8.19.10, anyone have a fix for that?

Great FAQ btw! :D
To bad I`m not able to run WoW because of the ATI dev files...

I updated the wiki page. You really should just install the build dependencies for the Wine package via apt-get build-dep wine -- making a hand list will guarentee you're forgetting some.

I`ve tried to install wine using the src..
but when i:
wine WoW.exe
I only get an error, and the whole aplication stops..
gah, it worked almost perfect with cedega4.. but now even that doesn`t work..

Switching to Windows is still not an option!!

Any suggestions?:confused:

[alynx]

I have experienced some lag problems , but the game is up and running in every way.

When i get quests and move into a populated area it starts lagging.

I use Gforce 6600 GT BTW , and i have installed the nvidia-glx-dev package.
I have also changed the xorg.conf file and traded nv driver to nvidia.

Am i doing something wrong here? Thinking maybe there would be some Opengl problems that causes this

Or is it something that will fix it in the wine installation? i followed the howto

[thegnark]

what repos have the nvidia and fglrx development stuff? neither show up in apt-cache

[SKLP]

I updated the wiki page. You really should just install the build dependencies for the Wine package via apt-get build-dep wine -- making a hand list will guarentee you're forgetting some.I know about apt-get build-dep.
The deps i stated in the howto was enough for this to work. Though i suppose that was a cleaner way to do it, but it installs dependencies that are not needed...

Well maybe the howto should be revamped to use apt-get source wine from the winehq repository. And both patches should be merged into a wow.dpatch...
It would be best if someone told me how to make it apply -wow to all libs/executables it installs so we could make wine-wow debs that would be parallell installable with normal ubuntu wine...

[SKLP]

I only get an error, and the whole aplication stops..
What is the error? Also did you follow the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WorldofWarcraftHowto and did u read the whole thread?

[SKLP]

I copied WoW from my windows partition to my linux partition, i'm running the game on the current version (new patch this morning.. 1.8.4 i believe), the game works up until the login screen. I login and it authenticates then the game crashes and i get the WoW error reporting screen. anyone else have problems like this?

AFAIK, you should be able to just run it directly off your windows partition. i guess just don't depend on being able to save config options though

[Sandlst]

Hey guys!
First of all, THANK YOU SKLP your guide worked flawlessly for me, but alas I have a problem hehe......Ive installed WoW under wine, updated to lastest patch, but right after I hit the 'ok' to log in my screen goes black for some reason....its just my screen though I think b/c i can hear the sounds of entering what I assume is the realmlist menus by hitting enter, but obviously this doesnt help much...Ive run WoW on this computer through windows, so I know my video card is capable of working....I have an nvidia GeForce Go 6800 with all latest drivers installed, 256 MB. If any of you can help me I would be very appreciative, thank you in advance :)

Have you enabled the nvidia drivers? You have to run a command in the terminal after installing them with Synaptic.

[Bicky]

I'm still not able to fix that mouse bug, even with the patch I can't clik on enemies and stuff.

Hmm...I followed the directions from the starter guide, so I have done the sudo nvidia-glx-config enable, is that what you mean?

[Sandlst]

Hey guys!
First of all, THANK YOU SKLP your guide worked flawlessly for me, but alas I have a problem hehe......Ive installed WoW under wine, updated to lastest patch, but right after I hit the 'ok' to log in my screen goes black for some reason....its just my screen though I think b/c i can hear the sounds of entering what I assume is the realmlist menus by hitting enter, but obviously this doesnt help much...Ive run WoW on this computer through windows, so I know my video card is capable of working....I have an nvidia GeForce Go 6800 with all latest drivers installed, 256 MB. If any of you can help me I would be very appreciative, thank you in advance :)

fixed, Ill post here just in case.....I found this in the Gentoo wow forum btw, all you have to do is change the Permissions of the WDB folder to non-writable by anyone.
Pffft now that it works my realm is down :rolleyes:

AcK! After discovering I couldnt click anything in-game, I eventually figured out that I had previously installed wine from synaptic (ie no mouse patch) before following the HowTo (and missing the part about uninstall heh) so I had to basically do everything again, worked ok until I tried to log in. Attempt ing to log into my two main characters, it crashes after the loading screen is finished-terminal outputs this:

just in case it's relevant-my Character is in a 'full' pop. server and is located in Iron Forge-a major lag source at best-and my other char is in Stormwind

Whats strange tho is if I try and make a new char (on the server or any other server) it works fine, any ideas?:confused:
Actually scratch that-playing a new character works fine until I have to enter any kind of building...when that happens I get the same thing.

[Bicky]

I installed wine again, trying to fix this mouse bug. But it couldn't find the wine packages when I typed 'apt-get build-dep wine'. I hoped it would work without it too. so I continued. But now the bug still isn't gone. and you've said that it would give the message that it wanted to install activex but he didn't asked for that neither...

Is it this package that I missed caused the mouse bug ?

[glaze]

You don't have the C compiler installed. Do "apt-get install build-essential"

[alynx]

Does anyone actually run Wow without some lag ?

please help this badger

[glaze]

Does anyone actually run Wow without some lag ?

please help this badger

o/ runs fine. AXP 2400+, 1024 MiB RAM, GF5900XT, Wine 0.9.1 (0.9.3 didn't work for me)

[alynx]

i think it comes down to my graphics driver.
I use the 7667 , and they lag , tried to get the nevest ones from nvidia.

But i ended up crashing my whole xserver.

So i (impatient that i am ) reinnstalled Ubuntu and followed SKLP's guide again and now i am back with the 7667 drivers.

Im trying again tomorrow when my eyes don't bleed

[inthepit]

well i finally got wow running for the most part... now my problem lies in keeping it running... i'm not even in game after character select for 30 seconds, and it crashes out with Error #132. something about couldn't write to memory. pretty sure i patched wine for WoW, and i know my graphics and all are set up. anyone have this problem? would like to get it running finally... been workin on this for a few days now.
*Edit* could it possibly be because of Alsa drivers? when i went to fix the reg key in wine, Alsa drivers weren't there.

[thegnark]

i finally got WoW running with the patched 0.9.1 wine mentioned in this thread. i would like to see an update for 0.9.3 (basically, a new pathc file) just for giggles

i can walk around, target stuff, etc. it's great, albeit very slow (due mostly to it being run on my underpowered celeron laptop - i imaging my athlon 3000 with 1.5 gig ram and radeon 9700 at home would do much better).

of course, this was under directx (i haven't tried with opengl yet). i definately wouldn't trust it to go raiding bwl (nef's room is horribly laggy on high-end systems), but i supposed it's good enough to go questing for lowbies

one problem i do ntice, is the viewpoint doesn't seem to work perfectly witht he mouse - it's almost like it's extra sensitive - but that doesn't hit it perfectly. the room kind of wildly spins around, and i have little control over looking up/down.

for now, at least i can get on for guild chat and check AH, etc. if i can get the viewpoint problem fixed, i could continue leveling my alts

[alynx]

holy ***** , stupid me , it works really fine when i emulate XP instead of W2k which is default.

:p :p :p :p :p

[arpunk]

Well, it works great, but its not playable for me :/, i cant see some textures and the ground gets black. I dont see the characters and so on, hehe im a walking weapon :O, ill post a screenshot as soon my realm is up again :P.

any ideas what could be the problem..

the update/installer just quits after that... nothing happens.. start WoW again.. same process...

my apolgies for the length..

[ghost051]

im a big fan of the Mac OSX, which i run wow on, but my bro wants to turn to linux instead of windows xp and he gets the error:

err:module:load_builtin_dll failed to load .so lib for builtin L"OPENGL32.dll": libGLU.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

and i have been on it for days, looking at websites and forums and such, any assistance would benefit, ive read the whole thread here and none of the aditional commands did anything.

he used wine to install from all 4 disks, inserted each disk when it asked for it, and when he tried to run 'wine wow.exe' he got the error above.

[Niz972]

ok.. i followed all instructions in the howto. got to the point to just after i compiled wine. Says now install wine: sudo make install

question is.. now how do i actually install it ? (noob..):confused: Oh. and if someone could actually send me a tell over aim, or just skype me (niz972) thatd be even better. im very.. very new to all this stuff.

Forewarning, this is the first time I've used a *nix system in 6 years. I was never good at it, and you could probably consider me to be a beginner.

you probably need to turn on the source repositories in apt. the easy way to do this is like so:
alt+f2
sudo synaptic
settings menu
repositories
settings button
check "show disabled software sources"
close button
check the stuff where is says "(source)" on the right of the repository name
OK button

now you can try to apt-get build-dep wine again

[Niz972]

well i tried that, but now it acts like its not even installed.. nothing happens when i click on my old ie6 or anything that uses wine.

[thegnark]

what happens when you type just the command wine ? if it's somethign to the effect of cannot find, then a simple symlink may fix this. on my system, it's looking for /usr/local/bin/wine, but it's actually located at /usr/bin/wine, so i simply made a symlink. if this is the case, try this: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/wine /usr/local/bin/wine

also, did you make sure to uninstall the wine installed by apt first? if you didn't you'll, probably need to cd ~/temp-winebuild/wine-0.9.1 && sudo make uninstall && sudo apt-get remove wine && sudo make install.

Never got a chance to repost last night, because I ended up getting it working and playing for quite some time :)

Anyhow the apt-get update just decided to work the last time I tried it. I don't know if its source was down earlier or if it was a fluke, but off it went, I compiled with the modifications listed and bam, WoW on linux.

As for performance, I have a few issues. When the game loads I get a crappy frame rate. Tabbing out and back in fixes this to near XP performance levels. A third tab out will screw up the game window scaling, stretching the the action bar (about 2 inches of the bottom of the screen) off of the display, and overlaying the Gnome UI elements like panels over the top and bottom of the display. Those can be rolled up but it still isn't sufficient IMO.

First of all I think it's amazing that it running it at all. If it was stable and the performance was suitable for difficult encounters, stability to support multitasking, my windows drive would be history.

Any input on those issues with multitasking mentioned above?

[Niz972]

Here is whats running through console as I play. The performance is too much of a hinderance to actually do anything terribly important, and I think this console text might have something to do with it.

alright.. just logged onto root in terminal, and typed in exactly that sudo -s echo "/usr/local/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf/bin/echo: /bin/echo: cannot execute binary file


got that error that you see there.. am i supposed to be doing this from just anywhere when i start in terminal? Anyways, then i type the ldconfig

ld: config: No such file: No such file or directory

[alynx]

sudo -s should make you root in the console!

when logged in as root , type echo "/usr/local/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf

next command : ldconfig


did you get root before running the command ?

[Niz972]

ok, well ityped in what you told me, i guess it worked, it showed no errors.. or anything.. now when i type wine by itself it displays
Wine 0.9.1
Usage: wine PROGRAM [ARGUMENTS...] Run the specified program
wine --help Display this help and exit
wine --version Output version information and exit

but.. whenever i try to run the warcraft cd to install, it does nothing.. am i missing some other step..?

[alynx]

you will have to copy all 4 cds into a temporary wowinstall directory.

When that is done , you can go into the directory you copied the cd's and type

wine Installer.exe

still keep us updated on how it's going ;)

I've just installed Ubuntu and managed to get WoW to run with wine. However, when I start running WoW, it seems that WoW would suck up all my laptop resources. Graphics are chopy, mouse is hardly moveable and the whole system become very slow in repond. My laptop specs are shown in my signature and I don't have any problem to play WoW in windows so I'm sure my laptop is able to handdle WoW. So is there anything that I can do so that it will run smoothly? Thanks

Did you run it with the --opengl switch?

wine wow.exe --opengl

Tried that, but it's still the same. It's loading time after the character selection is so long that I would timeout from the server and get disconnected.

are all cds supposed to be copied into the same file Examplefolder: Wowinstaller

Yes, I followed all the steps in wiki and some additional steps when some problem occur.

i have been trying to get wow working with wine the last coupple of days, but with no luck. The closet i have bin so far is with wine package included ubuntu badger breezer dist. I can start wow with this but no sound and "mouse-bug". So i decided to try to compile it myself with the patches, but when i try to run

wine WoW.exe -opengl

i get this error

fglrx... You need to get this to run WoW with ATI cards.
My computer without those two things looked like it was very very very slow. the mouse cursor didn't move until a second or two after I moved the mouse. Thats how long it took for the screan to update. If that is what your computer is doing then you must download fglrx and set it up and make sure you have the latest ATI drivers. This is imparative. I had this problem. Your 3d acceleration will not work properly without those two things. I cannot remember off the top of my head the "howto" of all of this but it was fairly easy. The set-up of fglrx and ATI driver is very close to xorg.conf. Search around I am sure there is a howto because I used one to do it myself.

Now if your WoW is just a little laggy then the above is not what you need. If your just a little laggy (and you shouldn't be with ATI @ 128mb video ram) that you need to go into your laptop's BIOS and set your AGP aperature size to half your video ram. As a matter of fact do this before you download and set up fglrx and the ATI driver, because you're going to have to do it anyway.

Fglrx you can get via your X package manager or apt-get. If you have anyother problems after that, like with your mouse clicking (on monsters) just post back here or look for a patch on line called wow-mouse-fixes.patch or something like that. I had to recompile wine(9.3) with the patch applied to get my mouse clicking to work. Today is 12/22/05 I patched yestarday to make this work. So I know it works with the latest WoW patches (I think 1.8.4) the Wine website will tell you how to build wine in ubuntu just go to the download page and you'll see a howto for both debian and ubuntu. Good luck to you, I know you'll get it, just work through it and you won't be a pure newbie at Linux for very long.

hmm ok copied them all into same folder. i still get this error when i try to wine Installer.exe Alynx.


hmm , i dont really know , never seen that error before. But did you get all the packages ? sudo apt-get install build-essential flex bison xlibs-dev libasound2-dev nvidia-glx-dev

[Yuanlong]

Ok, I've tried installing the newest ati driver (took me sometime to get it installed), then I uninstalled wine and fglrx. Checked the wiki and followed the step by step to reinstall wine and fglrx but I'm still have very choppy grahpics. My problem is the same as yours which the mouse would only move 1-2 sec after I moved. Even if I alt+tab to other program, those program are having the same lag as well when wow is open. Anybody has any other suggestion?

[AnimalMother]

make sure that in you xorg.conf file that "fglrx" is selected as the driver for you video card

[AnimalMother]

This thread helped me out Click Here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75428)

[Yuanlong]

make sure that in you xorg.conf file that "fglrx" is selected as the driver for you video card

Thanks, that fixed my problem. It's kinda later here now so I'm gonna really try to play the game tomorrow. If everything is going well, I guess it's goodbye to windows:p

[AnimalMother]

I am curious, please let me know how it plays for you. I personally was willing to deal with it being a little laggy, but it just plays great after I fixed my agp aperature to half my video ram. I couldn't be happier.
I am also very glad that it is working for you now.

[Yuanlong]

Argg!!! Still no go. Now that WoW will load into the game but then once inside the game, it will crash after just 3 sec. I've try creating a new character just to avoid if population is causing the trouble but still it would crash.

This is wha happening in the terminal up to the point where I have to force quit it.

Hello,

I finally managed to install the ATI fglrx drivers using this howto: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=423584.

I've edited the Config.wtf so that the game runs on OpenGL, but when I fire it up it looks very odd:

http://img373.imageshack.us/img373/4092/wowscreen9or.jpg

And in the terminal I get these error messages:


fglX11AllocateManagedSurface: __FGLTexMgrAllocMem failed!!
fglX11AllocateManagedSurface: __FGLTexMgrAllocMem failed!!
fglX11AllocateManagedSurface: __FGLTexMgrAllocMem failed!!
fglX11AllocateManagedSurface: __FGLTexMgrAllocMem failed!!
fglX11AllocateManagedSurface: __FGLTexMgrAllocMem failed!!


I've tried to reconfigure the driver with fglrxconfig, but no luck yet :(

Anyone got the same thing going on or know how to solve it?

EDIT: Thoght the prob was solved but still the same. :(

[AnimalMother]

how do you do that ?

edit : i have les lag after i turned off vertical sync though :)

But i still wanna know how you did that! please help me

You have to go into your computers BIOS and look around for something that say "AGP" it may not be called "AGP Aperature" some BOIS call it AGP Memory hole. Some call it something completely different, but it always says either AGP or Video Card and then has a memory setting(in MB MegaBytes). Find out how much video ram you card has, and then set the setting to half that. OpenGL uses the aperature size in its array computing, but the computer needs the rest of the video memory to perform non-OpenGl funtions. So you don't want to suck up all your video memory with OpenGL because you computer will fight back.

Argg!!! Still no go. Now that WoW will load into the game but then once inside the game, it will crash after just 3 sec. I've try creating a new character just to avoid if population is causing the trouble but still it would crash.

1) I have not seen this, so I don't know what the problem is - but did you apply the mouse fix patch to the wine source code?
2) did you fix your AGP Aperature size?
3) do you have the required microsoft DLL's in your "World of Warcraft" directory: mfc42.dll and msvcp60.dll
4) Here is a copy of my Config.wtf file create a new config.wtf file with it and save *important* CHANGE THE "SET realmName "Dark Iron" TO THE REALM THAT YOU PLAY IN (remember to save your old one under a different name before you do this so that you have a back-up):

see if that works for you. If you don't have the wine patch for the mouse fixes here it is (save it in a text file called: wine-wow_fixes.patch):

save it in your /path/to/wine-0.9.3-winehq/ directory and in a terminal type:
cd /path/to/wine-0.9.3-winehq (hit enter)
"patch -p0 <wine-wow_fixes.patch" (hit enter)

I think that this patch may fix the memory problem that you are having as well as the mouse problem I am not a programmer so I don't exactly know.
Now before you compile wine again make sure you have all the recomended packages in you system that winehq recomends that you have. If you don't have all of them wine may just exclude the functionality associated with the packages that you do not have rather than spit out compile errors.

One last thing if you haven't done this please do: go to Mozilla.org and download the WINDOWS VERSION OF THE INSTALLER and under wine INSTALL THE WINDOWS VERSION OF MOZILLA. Then google "Mozilla ActiveX Control v1.7.12" and download "Mozilla ActiveX Control v1.7.12.exe" and install with wine. I know it sounds weird but this is all of the stuff I had to do to get WoW working for me on ubuntu.

I hope some of this helps.

I think I messed up with my xorg.conf. I've no idea how to fixed it so I think I'll try to reinstall ubuntu after boxing day.

By the way, Merry Christmas

[alynx]

remember to copy the xorg.conf file to a xorg_backup.conf when editing it :)

In that case nothing can go wrong

lol, lesson learned. Anyway I've reinstalled Breezy, now in the process of downloading ATI driver. I'll update with how's everything going on when I've finished all the process.

[jcurry]

I'd appreciate if someone could help me...I am using debian sid, with working nvidia drivers, and I'm running into a problem that I don't think anyone else has seen.

I compiled wine 0.9.3, after patching with
http://polynomial-c.homelinux.net/pub/gentoo/portage/app-emulation/wine/files/wine-wow_fixes-2.patch
(is this the correct one?)
and when I try to run WoW with -opengl, I am taken to the character selection screen, and I hit "Enter World".
When it finishes loading, I see one frame of the world, with three weird short golden things on the screen, and then the screen goes black, after maybe ten seconds.

Direct3D mode (without -opengl) works almost perfectly. Characters do not have textures, and when I walk around the world, my character is not there, all I see is a huge black patch.

Any way to fix one of these problems (it seems it is better to get OpenGL working) is much appreciated!

Thanks.

Oops, update my nvidia drivers, and now it works. Thanks for the guide!

Huh. In Debian, if you install the build-essential package (sudo apt-get install build-essential), you get everything you need to compile stuff, including compilers.

save it in your /path/to/wine-0.9.3-winehq/ directory and in a terminal type:

"patch -p0 <wine-wow_fixes.patch" (hit enter)

I think that this patch may fix the memory problem that you are having as well as the mouse problem I am not a programmer so I don't exactly know.

Hmm the activex installer fixed the stalled problem. Now that I can run around in the game(with about 20+fps) but I'm having the mouse problem. I can't find where the wine-0.9.3-winehq folder is at so I can't patch it. Can you give me a idea where usually the installed program will be at?

Edit: Ok, I manage to find wine in /usr/libs/wine, but I'm having problem to patch it. The file that are supposed to be patch should be mmap.c.old & mmap.c, but I don't have those file in my wine folder. Is it that I've did something wrong or did I missed out something?

You must install Wine from source and patch it before compiling. If You used Your distro's packet management system to install Wine, it probably was not compiled so You didn't have a change to apply the patch. To get things working, uninstall Wine, get sources from http://www.winehq.com, extract them and then You can patch them before compiling. You said You found Wine in /usr/libs/wine but that directory contains only some files Wine uses, and there's nothing to patch there.

[Yuanlong]

Hmm, acording to the new Howto which uses the 0.9.3 version. It says that we could just install wine using apt-get or synaptic. So is it that the newest version is patched already and we could installed directly or is there a step missed out in the new Howto??

[AnimalMother]

I had to patch wine and I recompiled the source after I applied the patch, and that was a week ago. I do not think wine (9.3) has this patch in it. There is a way to get apt-get to just get soure and unpack it. Just type: man apt-get (hit enter) that should tell how to just get the source.

*Edit* I believe it is just:
sudo apt-get source wine

do this after you have entered winehq's repository to your list. This command shoul download and unpack wine source in the directory you are currently in so it (should) be your home directory "~" at the commandline

[Disstress]

I installed exactly as per the Wiki instructions and I have the mouse bug.

Did the wiki change? I installed wow using the wiki a couple of weeks ago, (then I switched to FC4--and back again) and I didn't have the mouse bug then.


EDIT: I just found a foreign language page in the WIKI that is how the 'old' wiki page was.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WoWguideWine-SE?highlight=%28CategoryGames%29

I'm going to screenshot it so it doesn't disappear.

[Terrasque]

Someone calling himself CoreyBurger merrily ignored the part where you need a specially patched wine to run the game, and linked to the page describing how to install normal wine. Which, as we all know, do not work.

Here (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WorldofWarcraftHowto?action=recall&rev=8) is a link to the page before it got mutilated.

BTW, I've made a .deb of the patched wine after compile, its avaliable here (http://80.202.244.48/~terra/wine-wow/).
Rev 6 does all the wine patching and configuring steps + setting default audio out to alsa.
BEWARE: This is my first .deb ever, and its not tested on other machines.
YMMV

[Yuanlong]

Now that I've uninstalled wine and reinstalled it again, the graphic stalled problem reapear again. Even after I installed window's firefox and the activex control wouldn't solve the problem.

I'm so sorry to give you guys so many trouble and happy new year to all.

Edit: I've installed wine with patch, currently using the deb version given by Terrasque. Either the deb version or the old wiki method would give me the same problem.

[phil.crissman]

Terrasque...

Thanks for the link to the old page (with the wine/patching instructions)! -- I was trying to follow the HOWTO the other night, and I was wondering why there were no steps in the HOWTO to patch wine... when everyone was always mentioning the need to patch wine... ;-)

I decided to go ahead and compile wine per the instructions, it's compiling as I write this.

Anyways, thanks again.

[AnimalMother]

Edit: I've installed wine with patch, currently using the deb version given by Terrasque. Either the deb version or the old wiki method would give me the same problem.

Is it still giving you this problem or did terrasque' package fix it? if not, and it is that same stall with the 1 -2 sec screen update, reinstall fglrx and ati stuff and see what happens.

[Terrasque]

If my package dont work, try compiling yourself.

As I said, its my first package, and it havent been tested on any other machine, so hearing that it installs and works at all on another machine is a pleasant suprise.

A bit more info about the package: It's compiled on a system having nvidia-glx-dev, and have these extra registry keys in the default registry:

HKCU,Software\Wine\Drivers,"Audio",,"alsa"
HKCU,Software\Wine\Alsa Driver,"DevicePCM1",,"default"

these are located in usr/share/wine/wine.inf, under [Misc]
Wine is also patched according to the page, compiled with no debug messages, and binaries have been stripped.
This is to ensure maximum speed and minimize the size of the package.

It is currently not optimized for any processor, neither mcpu nor march is used.


Any feedback is appreciated.

[phil.crissman]

After I posted, I did wind up using your .deb package; it works great.

For some reason when I compiled it, it failed... I would normally try to figure out why, but since your .deb package worked, I don't think I'll bother.

Thanks again!

Hi! I've got wow up and running but it's very choppy (about 8fps) and I've read it might improve if i turn off vertical sync. The problem is though that I can't turn it off because everytime I press ok at the video options screen, I get an error. So I was wondering if there is any option I can use in the config file to turn it off? Thanks in advance for any help. I use cedega btw.

Regards gfg

Hi, i copied my wow install from windows partition and placed in my home folder, i have installed ati drivers and i can get wow on, but i have these problems.

1. Weak performance (fps is about 10-20, lowest settings), in windows fps all the time 50-70 with best settings.
2. Mouse bug (i cant find my wine folder + i dont have permission to edit anything at / ), i have patched wine.
3. Doesnt save controls.
4. Every second time i try to quit it jams the whole system.

I did installation step by step and i have putted the missing .dll s to wow folder.

[inthepit]

link seems to be down. can anyone give a working link for the deb.

[mrgnash]

Has anyone tried this with the latest version of Wine? Unlike the previous version, I can load WoW right off the bat.. but what I am then presented with is a static login screen in which I seem to have no mouse and no ability to input my details...

[Burgundavia]

If there are specific tweaks that are still needed for Wine to make WoW work, please add that in a seperate section under the installing Wine section. I apoligize for nuking that.

Cheers,

Sorry, seems like my server has died. I'll see if I can get a friend of mine to host the deb tomorrow.

As for wine version, last unpatched wine I tried was 0.9.3 and that did not work.

The biggest problem is the "memory bug" part, where if that aint patched in, you cant click on anything.


As for speed. It varies greatly. Most of the time FPS is from 50-75 fps (screen is 75 hz, so it wont go faster than that), but sometimes it drops to horrible speed (1-3 fps). This seem to happen randomly, but have only happened in the big cities for now. I tried the latest nvidia driver, the huge drops seem to be gone, but average fps was halved. Which is even worse in my eyes.

Also, ALT+rightclick brings up desktop menu. Any way to remove this?

I've just been given a 14 day trial DVD for WoW and thought I'd give it a go. Before I can even try installing it under wine I have a problem I'm hoping someone can shed some light on.

On a win2k machine I can see the entire DVD contents. On my laptop currently running ubuntu 5.04 I cant see several files including the Installer.exe, so cant install the game.

I've tried from the file browser (with view hidden files ticked) and from ls -al in a root terminal and by mounting the DVD as iso9660 and udf and get the same results. The files which are marked as hidded when viewing it on the win2k machine arent visible on my ubuntu laptop.

Any ideas? I'm baffled, especially with not being able to view everything from a root prompt.

[tflovik]

You have to mount the install cd as root or ls the drive from another directory than the mount point. I'm not shure since it is some time since i installed it.
Hope this can help you!

[Terrasque]

Wine with wow patches installed.

[Lord Erik]

You have to mount the install cd as root or ls the drive from another directory than the mount point. I'm not shure since it is some time since i installed it.
Hope this can help you!

Nope, neither worked. I ended up copying the dvd to my iriver while I still had access to the win2k machine. I'm now able to get wine to run the installer from the iriver. Just have to actually get it to install now.

You need to mount the dvd with the "unhide" option. Adding this to the mount options in /etc/fstab, then reinserting the dvd worked for me :).

Has the 1.9 patch problem been resolved or is it still a problem? I remember a post saying that the 1.9 test patch will not work with wine or cedega and after I installed the 1.9 patch I can't start the game. I've tried all of the past suggested fixes but to no avail. It was working fine with cedega 4.3 until that patch installed. All I get is a black screen flash up for perhaps 2 seconds then it closes and I get a very long of text.
Anybody have any ideas?

It looks like the 1.9 patch doesn't work with Cedega 4.x. Cedega 5.x appears to work. Check out this thread at the Gentoo forums, a bunch of people are having the same problem.

I tried to download your patched wine .deb but it says "the request is not supported" :(

I got wow to work with wine-9.3 following the wiki here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WorldofWarcraftHowto?action=recall&rev=8

For the latest wow patch 1.9 the glPolygonOffset bug appears to be fixed, so there is no need to alter dlls/opengl32/opengl_norm.c

I didn't alter that file (most likely because I installed 9.3 from a deb and can't find that file to alter), but while it runs fine, I don't have any sound and can't target anything, and wine 9.4 crashes on load. Any fixes?

[AnimalMother]

Azerban look back to page 12 in this thread I explaine how to patch wine 0.9.3 it fixes the targeting mouse click thing. and I have never had wine crash on the load with 0.9.3.
The last time I compiled wine I forgot to fix opengl_norm.c's glPolygonOffset problem and it still worked - that was before WOW patch 1.9.

Now I just got WOW patch 1.9 and my working WOW setup was UNEFFECTED. It works fine with wine 0.9.3 ("wine-wow_fixes.patch" also on pages 12 in this thread) patched.

Can I take just a quick poll? Who here has WOW working and what setup do you have it on.

Here is mine:

AMD 64 3700+
Ubuntu Breezy 2.6.12-10 i386 (not x64 kernel )
ATI 9700 pro all-in-wonder 128mb (fglrx driver)
wine 0.9.3 patched w/wine-wow_fixes.patch
windows version of mozilla + activex control 1.7.* installed under wine.
wow patch 1.9.*
functional, but I compiled wine with no sound.

[vyktor69]

Anyone know where I can get wine 0.9.3? Right now the only one on the repository is 0.9.5 (which is the one I'm using) I've tried running with winecfg set to win98 and win2000 modes. This is what I get.

[Des33]

yeah i have the identical problem since moving to 0.9.5

worked before that version tho

[Terrasque]

Hello again, folks.. We found the problem with the web server. It didnt like .deb!

So we renamed it to .zip, and it works perfectly..
Here's a new link : http://www.x-nett.com/wow%2Dwine/wine-wow_0.9.1-6_i386.zip
Remember: this is NOT a zip file ;) Also, I got to try it on a new install today. Worka like a charm :) This was one of my big worries earlier.

If anyone else can host it, I'd be grateful! Here is the MD5 of the original:
8ad9bbab1ef9f1569315124918351f36 wine-wow_0.9.1-6_i386.deb


Now, for patch 1.9 - Nothing major breakage. The sound is a bit more unstable (this is with alsa), and I needed mfc42.dll to run the update. Apart from that, no problems at all with the new patch.

If I get time, I might try out 0.9.3 - but 0.9.1 seems to work fine as it is. (I have tried 0.9.4 and cvs... deb packages makes it easy to go back if the new one's not working :D )

EDIT: The target bug is fixed in 1.9 it seems, making the offset patch bugged. I didnt notice that until now ;) And I am compiling 0.9.3 rev 2 (without the offset patch) right now. Does anyone have a place I can host it?

[Terrasque]

http://www.stud.ntnu.no/~jensadne/files/wine-wow_0.9.3-2_i386.deb

Lights! Camera! Action!

This have the target cursor patch removed (it was there to work around a bug in opengl WoW that was fixed in 1.9), and it use alsa default for audio, which means it play nice with all the other apps in ubuntu playing sound. It have been tested to work with 1.9 - and have been tested installed on a clean ubuntu install with no apparent problems. Unless something big turns up this will be the last deb for a while.

I just got the 0.9.1 package installed and WoW is playing better than ever. I tried using Cedega 5.0.3 and it crashed everytime I tried to change the graphics settings in game. I don't have the problem with wine-wow_0.9.1.
Is there any advantage to going to the 0.9.3 package?

[Terrasque]

I've only tried it for an hour now. I dont see any reason not to use it, to put it that way. Some error messages in console are gone, and this gets the targeting circles back (which was broken pre-1.9, and wine patched accordingly, and now fixed, and now latest wine package unpatched accordingly :p)
Also, sound seem to be a bit more stable.

[vyktor69]

Ok, since I know the 0.9.1 is working for me I may try the 0.9.3 one and if it doesn't work I can alway go back to the other one. :)

[Terrasque]

That's the part I especially liked about compiling and then making debs :)

If it dont work, it only takes a few seconds to go back to a version I know works.

Combined with the compile shell script I've written it makes it dead easy to experiment :D Truly a blessing.

How do i uninstall wine that I compiled from the source files?
Do i just delete out the directory ~/.wine ?

I'm going to try the prepatched one that Terrasque was nice enough to up.

[mesilliac]

Wohoo, thanks Terrasque! WoW is now working flawlessly on my amd64 system, without a 32 bit chroot in sight.

For the record, this is how I got it working nicely: (wine-wow_0.9.3 and WoW 1.9)

(amd64 only - x86 users just install terrasque's .deb from page 16) Follow RAOF's instructions, buried in this thread (http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=96620), except using terrasque's wine-wow deb from page 16. amd64 users will need to find some extra 32bit libraries and put them in /lib32, but wine tells you what's missing when you try to run it.

(all architectures) Find some native windows dlls: msvcp60.dll and mfc42.dll, and put them in your fake windows/system directory. You might have to add them as overrides using "winecfg".
Install the windows version of mozilla using wine, and the mozilla activeX control (I used version 1.7.12 for both.) This allows WoW to automatically download and install patches. I followed the instructions from here (http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Install_and_update_World_Of_Warcraft_with_wi ne).

To install WoW I had to make sure my dvd drive was mounted with the "unhide" option (adding it to the options in /etc/fstab worked okay). Then just "wine /cdrom/installer.exe" worked.

Finally, add some options to the config.wtf file in the "Program Files\World of Warcraft\WTF" directory:
SET SoundOutputSystem "1"
SET SoundBufferSize "130"
SET gxApi "OpenGL"

Start "regedit" then set the following
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Alsa Driver] "DevicePCM1"="default"

now..... wine "C:\Programs Files\World of Warcraft\WoW.exe"

or click on the icon wine put on your desktop ;).

Hooray! WoW!

Go to the wine source directory (same place you typed "make && make install") and type "sudo make uninstall" :).

You can keep your settings and your fake windows drive... they're what's in ~/.wine, so you probably don't want to delete it.

[Niamor]

Thanks a lot Terrasque.

It's much easier with a deb than to compile wine and add the patch, I had a problem with opengl.dll....

It's working great, just need to find a way to improve the fps a bit, maybe by starting wine with startx instead of kde.

I installed wine using the apt-get method and i dont remember where i made and configured it. Is there any way to uninstall the latest version of wine and install the version on this forum with the patch and start from scratch with wine? Ive got other games to work like Doom3 (for linux) so I know my graphic card is up to date.


For more fun, ive started another thread about my two sound cards and no sound in some games and programs but sound in other games and programs. Im new to ubuntu and need all the help i can get.

I'm having problems after trying WoW 1.9 compatible mods (CTMod and Titan), so I deleted WTF and Interface, but it still doesn't work. WoW crashes on entering the world with dreaded #132 and gives an error about GUARD_PAGE which is new to me. I had WoW 1.9 working before trying new versions of mods. Repair.exe doesn't find anything odd. Also, WINE 0.9.1 is the newest that has ever worked for me, no luck with 0.9.5 for example even with OpenGL regression patch. I run on AthlonXP 2400+, 1 GiB RAM, Ubuntu 5.10, Geforce FX5900XT with patched 1.0-8178 drivers and kernel 2.6.15ck1. dmesg shows "can't create port" when trying to play WoW.

edit: Got it working again with Wine 0.9.1 + polynomial-c's patch like before, but fps is a lot lower than before. Maybe related to the new Nvidia driver.

[Terrasque]

0.9.4 added some stuff that breaks WoW. My latest wine-wow use 0.9.3

As for you others that have problems running wow, first check that you have 3d acceleration enabled ("glxinfo | grep direct" in console). If you still cant get it to run, try deleting your ~/.wine folder, or even make a new user to try from. The WoW folder itself can be copied to someplace else, and run directly from there. It does not have to be installed.

And, just to repeat myself, my prepatched wine .deb is avaliable on http://www.stud.ntnu.no/~jensadne/files/wine-wow_0.9.3-2_i386.deb

[jackie_brown]

hi guys

im running the wine-wow-0.9.3 under kde. ATI card with correct drivers i think.

i got wow installed, set the needed parameters in Config.wtf (where btw are a lot more statements than just these 3 which i had to add, right?)
the two dll's which are needed are in /windows/system/ (btw they are the only one which are in there, right?) i moved them into system32/ but nothing changed...

i have 2 problems:

1. in winecfg i can't click at the audio section, because then my winecfg hangs and nothing happens anymore. i guess sound is not configured right, but xmms for example works. anywhere a possibility to config the output device of wine in textmode or sth equal?

2. the performance of wow is just inacceptable. fps are round about 7-10 and WoW runs maximum some minutes. then it crashes with an wow error and an "ACCESS VIOLATION". after that some memory addresses and so on...

did is miss sth ?

[ i try to copy/paste the error msg...]

[Damburger]

Ok, I re-installed Ubuntu 5.10 clean.. then installed wine and set my Config.wtf as above, I now get a different error.


Your 3D Accelerator is not supported by World of Warcraft. Please install a 3D accelerator card with dual-TMU support.


So a kind of progress I guess.. breakfast now but will try some more things when I get back, hope someone might be able to shed some light

I have the exact same prolem, but I'm not using an onboard Intel graphics card, I'm using a Geforce 6800.

To begin with, it did work, then I installed nvidia-glx and copied over my xorg.conf, and the error turned up.

This happens for me too.... but if I wait for a minute, it's okay. For me it hangs because it can't find the drivers for arts and esd (don't have arts, haven't installed 32 bit esd drivers on my 64bit system). Try waiting for a bit after clicking on audio and see if it unhangs?

I think you can set the output device to alsa using "regedit". Add/change this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine/Drivers/"Audio"="alsa"

Yes there should be a lot more stuff in config.wtf (it's WoW's main config file), and yes those 2 dlls should be the only ones in your windows/system directory (the others are emulated by wine).


Just to confirm, the new 1.9.1 patch with it's annoying loader screen is working for me with the method I posted before ;). The display of the loader screen is glitchy, but it works fine.

[akurashy]

is it true that WoW have private servers?

For example Warcraft 3 the sound is possible, even it is stuttering like hell. in Quake 3 there is also no sound possible. even setting the snddevice in the quake console didn't help much. everytime a sound should be played there is the message "sound dropped" -> huh?

Just thought I'd add my 5 cents to this, or maybe it's more like 1c or 2c :P

I just managed to get WoW running, on an Acer Aspire 1804WSMi. Started out with just installing winex through Synaptic, it worked after updating the config file with 'SET gfxApi ="Opengl"'. At least as far as starting it up and getting to the loginscreen, although it ran extremely slow. It took WoW about 3-4 seconds to react to mouse movement/keyboard.

At that point, I got the latest drivers from the ATI webpage and installed them. When I tried to start 'wine wow.exe' at that point, it failed to start with the PixlMap error. So I went searching here in the forums and found Terrasque's 0.9.3 build with the patches installed. This got me all the way through the login, character create/select. But as I clicked Enter Realm, it loaded up as it should and then when the game started up, it would crash out to the Desktop with a fatal exception.

Didn't really now what to do, as I hadn't seen that before here on the forums so I just tried to remove the 'SET gfxApi = "OpenGL"' line from the config.wtf file, and started wow with 'wine wow.exe' and it works great. Just one minor flaw, the small facial icons next to the health bars are corrupted. But I can live with that :)

[jackie_brown]

LOL in the meanwhile i removed all my wine's and the .wine dir. installed terrasques 0.9.3 version and treid to install WoW, but when it asks for the 2nd cd and I am inserting it into the drive, mounting it, he don't recognizes that the 2nd one is inserted.... just my 3 ½ cents ^^

---> ok i copied my WOW from the windos partition. in my regedit is also a

"HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine/Alsa Driver/DevicePSM1 REG_SZ default

the sound still is not working right. in the WoW menu it stutters still awesome. in winecfg it is still not possible to enter the audio section -> hangs. and wine says


err:wave:DSDB_MapBuffer Please run winecfg, open "Audio" page and set
"Hardware Acceleration" to "Emulation".


what is not possible ... *cry*

I would guess its something wrong with your audio setup, jackie_brown..

You could try to make a new user, so you're sure its not any of your user settings thats wrong.

BTW, do you have ati or nvidia? and did you add the lines from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WorldofWarcraft to Config.WTF ?

[jackie_brown]

yes i added these lines with no success... but i will try the new user - after that night ;)

Hmm, this is just a note to say I've had much better framerates ever since I disabled vertex animation shaders in the WoW video options menu. I'd say I've had a 50% increase, and a couple graphical glitches disappeared entirely. And to think it says "Enable to maximize performance".

So now I'm running at 1280*1024 full graphical detail on everything ;). Wow, WoW is pretty.

I have experienced the strange 7-10 fps issue a couple times, and the only way I can seem to fix it is to reboot. And they say it's not a windows emulator!


ok, the problem is that there is no section like "drivers" or equal in the regedit :( so i assume that soemthing went completely wrong with my sound installation?
Hmm, you could try creating the key. In regedit, right-click on wine -> new key.

Don't know if it will help, but you can try setting hardware acceleration to emulation by changing / adding this in regedit ;)

I can load WoW until the character selection screen, then when I try and actually connect to the game, it freezes when the progress bar is around two thirds done. The computer doesn't seem to actually crash though (I can recover by shutting down wine and the x server).

Anybody recognise this bug (I'm running a 64 bit install if it helps)

[jackie_brown]

i have nearly the same problem, just when the progress bar is at 100% - nothing happens anymore.

[RavenndudE]

I was able to login and then restart and download the patches. But now when I
$wine WoW.exe
I hear the music, but notthing shows up, not even in the task bar. But if I alt-tab I see the wow icon but it won't show up when I open it, but it does show in the task bar.

try it and see :). If your onboard graphics meet the game specs I see no reason it shouldn't work.


To everyone having problems - are you using terrasque's .deb from page 16 of this thread?

Can you run WoW from a terminal and post any error messages wine is giving you?


You can also try following the vague instructions I posted on page 17 of this thread (especially amd64 users) if they differ from what you've done.

ok, I installed the tweaked wine from page 16 and I followed the psudo-instructions on page 17. This doesn't start at all... here's what the console puts out:

You have to apply a patch that downgrades Wine's OpenGL implementation, because the new implementation doesn't work with WoW, or you can also use older Wine.

[tafsen]

How do i do that? I installed the deb from page 16

I'm getting this error, do i need to d/l a patch to downgrade Wine's OpenGL Implementation?

[Burkey]

Hmm, a fresh install on a Dell laptop with an i915 and WoW starts up ok but has LOTS of missing textures, most things in game are just white.

This is with wine 0.9.5 straight out of Automatix BTW.. I will have a shot at the deb posted here but when I tried last night could not get to the server it is on.

Will try again.

[Burkey]

Ok, I get the same on the .deb from page 16, however it only works using DX, if I use OpenGL I get the same error as above..

X Error of failed request: GLXUnsupportedPrivateRequest

[mesilliac]

To those who installed the .deb from page 16 and are getting the GLXUnsupportedPrivateRequest error - did you make sure to uninstall wine before installing wine-wow?

I'm afraid I can't help much except for with the problems I had before I got it to work :(. Haven't had that one...

Hmm, a fresh install on a Dell laptop with an i915 and WoW starts up ok but has LOTS of missing textures, most things in game are just white.
Wine's DirectX implementation isn't fully functional. using DirectX works, but many textures seem to be missing, which is why OpenGL is recommended.


Apparently something in wine 0.9.4 broke openGL for WoW. I've heard that there's an extra / diferent patch for wine that needs to be compiled in if you want to use 0.9.4 or 0.9.5. The 0.9.3 deb seems to work fine though, so I haven't tried it (compiling 32 bit is a chore on my amd64 system).

Using the 0.9.3 wine-wow deb you shouldn't need to patch anything...

[tafsen]

Yes I un-installed Wine with the package manager before I installed wow wine.

Is it a way that I can check that there's only one wine installed?

[glaze]

I got WoW working again, by downgrading NVIDIA driver to 7676 and kernel to 2.6.13.5, and using Wine 0.9.1. Has anyone tried Wine 0.9.6 yet?

[moccah]

I`ve tried wine 0.9.6 but with no luck. Wow starts up fine, but when i enter the game it hangs and displays a "Memory could not be read" error.. I`ll keep on trying, and will post if i can get it to work.

Hi,

I finished reinstalling my ADM64 and wanted to get WOW going again, but the links to the wow-wine deb are no longer working. Since i'm on an 64bit installation I can't compile it myself, so if anyone can supply it I would be very happy ;)

[derekd]

How do I copy the data from the discs for easier install with Cedega 5.1?

[shade73]

Hey all, I've had great luck having wine work with WoW right out of the box. The only thing I have left is the "mouse-bug". THe one where you can't target copper NPC's etc. I saw a guy on the first page say we have "wine_wowfixes" for that, but I can't find anything on it at all. I'm really hesitant to uninstall the ubuntu package of wine and compile from the 0.9.6 source with the patches because I'm not positive it will work (and I know aside from the mouse bug this one works). Is there a way to fix the mouse bug without compiling back from source? If i *have* to compile from source can you recommend what version I use for best results (is 0.9.6 fine, or something else?) I thought i saw some posts about 0.9.1 & 0.9.3 working, but those are older so I'd rather use new packages if possible. I also tried to grab the deb packages with it pre-compiled and none of the links worked. I'm using opengl

[shade73]

OK so i broke down and followed the howto with 0.9.1 and everything compiled and such. I ran it and I still have the same bug. The first thing I did was uninstall wine by using apt-get remove wine or something like that. The only patch I applied was the wow-fix.patch. Did I miss something?

[gdoyel]

Install went peachy...

Having a problem with loading WoW with OpenGL. It says "Your 3D Accelerator Card is not supported by World of Warcraft. Please install a 3D accelerator card with dual-TMU support."

If I run without opengl, I get strange colors. I know my card will work, as I used it before in Windows XP. Any guidance here?

I'm thinking new driver, but I'm not sure how to go about that in Ubuntu (breezy)

edit:
If it helps, i'm running a Intel ThinkPad.

Sounds like you don't have the right driver installed. I would get this error on WinXP if I didn't yet have the video driver installed (and was instead running graphics off the CPU.).

Try searching around for instructions on updating your video card driver

Hello,

I am also running wow on Linux and i am fairly happy with it :) No more windows and the good thing is: It works like a charm.

This al is running for less than a month and so i got suprised yesterday when i wanted to apply patch 1.10.
The download works good, only when i want to start the patch it tells me:

I have been searching on google and some ppl said that you had to change form builtin to native dlls
At this moment the mfc42.dll is in .wine/drive_c/windows/system32 but it still complains, i have tried to copy the files to the patch directory itself, and many other directories but i keep on getting this error.

Starting wow is no problem though.

Can someone help me?

I had exactly the same problem yesterday.. make sure both .dll files (see first post HOWTO) are in the system32 dir.
After that you should be able to run the update

[markfra]

I have and i am very sure about that, i even moved the system32 to system and then it complained that it could not find system32.
It was obviously that i had to put the dll files in that directory.

This morning however i came to a new idea:

I put the dll in /usr/local/lib/wine/ and added that to override library part in winecfg with "Load Order" as Native selected.

This worked so it's patched (at work :)) now i only have to wait untill i come home ^^

Aye, I'm still searching for a driver for my ATI X800 GTO Fireblade. Once I accomplish that, then I'll need to learn how to install it LMAO!

Once I'm at that point, I at least have this thread to come to , so that I can install my precious WoW!

[Andrew-buntu]

Do games lag when using wine?

No, WoW doesn't lag any more than it would if you were playing on windows. Works great if you have a decent video card (I recommend nvidia) and play in opengl.

Is it still not possible to play WoW in linux if you not got either a nvidia or ATI gpu?

I think some people have configured Intel graphic chipsets to play. The important thing is having hardware rendering. Look around and I'm sure you'll find some Intel-owning posters.

Zer0d, I coudn't quote your post for some reason. But if you want to get rid of the mouse bug, you need to patch wine before you install it. You can still do that with .debs. You just download the source .deb with "apt-get source wine", then patch, then "apt-get --build source wine". You'll have wine in a nice package and you'll be able to uninstall with apt-get or synaptic. Just look around this forum for the patches - the newest ones (0.9.12 at the moment) are usually linked on the first post.

[Grog140]

Thanks for the wiki, I got it up and running but I cant change the video settings./

When I try running it in D3D I only get far enough to see my character on screen and it then freezes before I can change the settings to lower. Any advice would be appretiated.

EDIT: I got it working, I just need to figure out how to click on things. I remember reading about a patch but cant find it. If anyone could steer me in the right direction it would be cool.

EDIT2: Ok, I am good now, I got the mouse thing fixed. Well the patch included int he wiki would have done it but I went Here (http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=4031) and it did the trick for me.

Thank you.

The WoW version of Wine on the Wine wiki has been updated to 0.9.15. Enjoy. :)

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Wine

P.S. - If somebody could let me know if the installer still hangs with 0.9.15 that would be fantastic.

[zachtib]

it appears to, right after i click on 'install' right?
also, no text shows up on the buttons in the installer, is this normal?

[eqisow]

It would be normal if you didn't have the right fonts installed. I, personally, installed from the disk with no issues at all. But I also think I had a lot of fonts installed already.

Just to clarify, the locking up should resolve itself after awhile. At least it did in 0.9.14. You just have to be patient. :)

[basse1989]

My fps really suck, way below what I get in windows.
Im using a geforce 6600 with nvidia-glx 1.0.8762+2.6.15.11-1
I used my old config from windows and fixed it as the guides say and got crappy fps, so I deleted it and let wow make a new one but my fps still suck :(
Anyone know what might fix it?

[groggyboy]

So I used to get the dreaded error 132, until I read that basse1989 in the post above had deleted his windows config file and finally had success getting WoW to run.

I backed up my Config.wtf file, and deleted the original. Now I have a different problem: WoW starts, but I have no cursor control. I can watch the opening cutscene, but clicking does nothing. Hitting escape crashes the game. Letting the cutscene finish also results in the game crashing. At least the error 132 doesn't happen anymore!

I also noticed that there is no new Config.wtf file. Any ideas?

Recently installed Ubuntu 6.06 and very pleased so far. The last thing i need now is to get my WoW working on Ubuntu so i can leave Windows behind. So far i got a long way with the guides from:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WorldofWarcraft
and
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Wine

I managed to get the log in screen and char selection screen of WoW with sound and perfect graphics (i was very pleased with myself about thios :D )

When i got to the actual game however i was (and still am) faced with a problem. The screen keeps flickering at a very annoying rate so that the game becomes unplayable. I tried to play around with the video setting some but that does not seem to help.

I think its something with my video card (nvidia Geforce 2). I installed the drivers and my 3d rendering is ok. I also tried to run the game with: wine WoW -d3d
but then i get black areas everywhere where an object is on the ground.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Else i still have to go to windows everytime to be able to play WoW :S

Hi, i couldnt find any post in this thread with the same problem as i have, but hopefully some of you are skilled enough to give me a few pointers :)
If i run WoW using -opengl, i get the regular WoW-errormessage (blue thing), but if i run it without opengl everything works fine, except the 3d is upside-down, GUI is the correct way. I'm also rather new to linux, so im not sure what information you need to be able to help me, feel free to send me a message or an email.

I'm using Wine 0.9.21
ATi Mobility Radeon 9700
Ubuntu 6.06

Thanks in advance

I figured it out, i just had to disable fullscreen glow effects in WoW. So hopefully this will help someone else with the same problem :)

With a Radeon 9200 SE, it runs fine with D3D (but slowly) with wine 0.9.22, but gets the error #132 on starting if run with opengl. It has been working with opengl in previous versions of wine. Any ideas?

Hi, I used to be able to run WoW with Kubuntu Dapper's wine, albeit the sound problem.

Now, I have updated to Edgy and the wine included and also the wine I manually compiled (0.9.22 and 0.9.23) do actually work, but the game is unplayable to say the least.

I'm using the i810 driver for my Intel i915.

Any suggestions please? :confused: I really want to dump windows :(
