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...
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.
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.
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...
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...
I doubt you're going to find a lot of support here for playing on private servers.
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.
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...
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.
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...
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?
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...
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...
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)?
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...
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?
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...
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...
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.
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...
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...
