  1. Re: Howto: WOW with Wine (help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft)

    Try the registry edit in the help wiki (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft#Registry%20configuration). I believe that solved it for me.
  2. Re: Howto: WOW with Wine (help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft)

    You need to run that command from the directory that the EXE file is in.

    Alternately, you can open the terminal, type in "wine " and then drag the file...
  3. [ubuntu] Works for 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope too

    Just thought I'd add that this also works to get Jaunty installed on the same hardware.

    It's very sluggish on this old beast of a laptop, but it does work if you are willing to put up with it.
  4. Re: Howto: WOW with Wine (help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft)

    Did you try the registry tweak in the FAQ? Sounds like the same problem I had after starting again with a clean Ubuntu and WoW install.
  5. Re: Howto: WOW with Wine (help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft)

    Reinstall WoW within Wine. It solved the problem for me, and I now install every patch from within Wine just to make sure this problem doesn't happen to me again.

    I still wonder why it installs...
  6. Re: Howto: WOW with Wine (help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft)

    Looks like it's still trying to run in Direct3D mode. That last bit shouldn't have the space in it; it should be -opengl.


    The news block doesn't always appear. There hasn't been any news there...
  7. Re: Howto: WOW with Wine (help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft)

    I doubt you're going to find a lot of support here for playing on private servers.
  8. Re: Icon Glitches

    Not sure which icons you're talking about, but my inventory ones seemed to be wrong many times. As I recall, adding
    SET UIFaster "2" to my Config.wtf file fixed it.
  9. Re: Howto: WOW with Wine (help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft)

    Just as an FYI, the white minimap is a bug with the ATI drivers that AFAIK can't be fixed on our end. (Something to do with pbuffers as I recall.)

    It's very well known, but ATI seems unwilling to...
  10. Re: Howto: WOW with Wine (help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft)

    Try this:
    sudo mount -t udf -o ro,unhide /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0

    Might not make any difference at all, but it's worth a shot.
  11. Re: Howto: WOW with Wine (help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft)

    I used to see the same thing, but I didn't notice much of an improvement when I switched my Warcraft partition to FAT32, except the CPU usage didn't get quite as high anymore. It still takes a long...
  12. Re: Howto: WOW with Wine (help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft)

    I don't have an answer to for you (sorry), but I'm curious to know what advantages there are to running WoW under a separate X server?

    [ubuntu] Re: Help! How do I install ATI driver?

    Is this still the preferred way for Catalyst 8.11? I read this in the announcement of 8.11:



    But I don't find it in the PDF that's linked from the Driver Update Notification feed; it's only in...
  14. Re: Howto: WOW with Wine (help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft)

    The problem is that the MPQ files are hidden on the disk. I have no idea how to properly mount the disk to fix the problem. I fired up my VirtualBox and copied the DVD contents to my hard drive and...
  15. Re: Howto: WOW with Wine (help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft)

    Speaking of needing more things to get it up and running, any idea if the ATI tweaks in Xorg's config file are better placed elsewhere (or even necessary) under Xorg 7.4 (Ubuntu 8.10)?
  16. Re: Howto: WOW with Wine (help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft)

    If it happens every time you mouseover an item, you might try the UIFaster setting tweaks mentioned in the various FAQs. I know that does something to item icons, but offhand I don't quite remember...
  17. Re: Howto: WOW with Wine (help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft)

    Well, you'd need to give a bunch more information than that (system specs, especially video card) to hope for any real help, but are you sure that you're running WoW under OpenGL and not Direct3D?
  18. Re: Howto: WOW with Wine (help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft)

    Just as a follow-up: It appears that installing within Wine is the solution. I couldn't tell you why, but a wipe and install under XP produced the same error with Acheivements.dbc; after a wipe and...
  19. Re: Howto: WOW with Wine (help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft)

    Well I hope I won't have to install under Wine. I ran into the Acheivements.dbc problem too, so I wiped my install partition (I give WoW its own disk to play in), but I'm currently reinstalling it in...
  20. Re: Howto: WOW with Wine (help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft)

    I doubt you'll get much support for using a private server here, but for what it's worth, it sounds like that server isn't set up for the new patch.
  21. Re: Howto: WOW with Wine (help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft)

    Yes, I agree. But they can't fix certain things, such as the white minimap that ATI still hasn't fixed. I'm actually hopeful that it's an issue that can be fixed with Wine, because if I have to wait...
  22. Patch 3.0.2 (and Wrath) with ATI

    So I've grabbed the latest test-realm version in order to see just how bad things will be in the upcoming weeks once 3.0.2 goes live and forever after. And I've discovered that I can't be able to...
