I am using Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid and Wine 1.1.42, with WoW set to run in XP.
launcher.exe works perfectly normal but lauching directly into wow.exe or lauch via the Laucher freezes my computer (mouse still moves and any music playing will continue, but nothing new can be done)...and I have to restart.
I originally installed Ubuntu, wine and wow and got it to work (not sure what I did), but I messed up by install by playing around with some video settings and reformatted, reinstalled ubuntu off the same disk and pasted the wow folder into my virtual C drive (exactly the same backup of the wow folder that worked before).
The WoW I am using is an up to date version that is copied from a computer running XP.
This freeze happens when I launch directly through wine. When I launch through the terminal I get the following:
xx@xx-pc:~$ wine "C:\Program Files\WoW\Wow.exe"

Then a wow critical error (#132) pops up:
"This application has encountered a critical error:"

I'm not sure if it's relevant, but opening wow.exe to view in Archive Manager result in the followings error message:
An error occurred while loading the archive.
Command line output

I have searched forums and found that a common suggested solution is to add SET gxApi “opengl” to the Config.wtf file, and this has not worked for me.
Paste from terminal for video driver:
xx@xx-pc:~$ lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G94 [GeForce 9600 GT] (rev a1)
