    Change the tilde to /home/"yourusername"/drive_c/Program Files/World of Warcraft

    Then run the script with sudo.

    Re: Double your framerate in WoW under Wine

    could sudo be added to the script?

    And now I get a blank Xserver.
    I can switch back with crtl+alt+f keys.

    Also
    Code:
    drezliok@TuxEater:~$ wow
    X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting.
    cd: 5: can't cd to /home/drezliok/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/World Of Warcraft
    wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\WoW.exe": Module not found
    I ran the script with out the sudo to make sure I got a error that I could get to.

    Ok I got it to work for me but I have to use crtl+alt+f7 keystroke to get back into my other Xserver. the game ends up on f9.

    Here is my script edited to work for me.
    Code:
    #!/bin/sh
    
     X :3 -ac &   # Launches a new X session on display 3 
     sleep 2   # Forces the system to have a break for 2 seconds 
     DISPLAY=:3 /usr/X11R6/bin/wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/World\ Of\ Warcraft/WoW.exe -opengl   # Launches WoW
    I took out the change of directory and told it where to go at the display line.

    ALSO
    this fixes a resolution issue I have with wine and games. Wine would all ways throw me into 1600X1200. And I hate that.

    Now I would like to know how to add sudo to the script.
    Anyone know how I can kill the Xserver when I'm done playing?

    Re: Double your framerate in WoW under Wine

    Hey guys,

    I tried the first tweak, yet I haven't seen any increase in framerate. In fact, I have about 18-22 fps. I have a pretty decent rig:

    AMD Athon64 3800
    NVIDIA 6600
    1GB RAM
    250 GB harddrive

    So I feel like I have decent enough hardware to run at a better speed than what I get.

    I'm currently using Wine 0.9.22, and have no problems what so ever.

    Just wondering if my framerate should be where it's at, or maybe higher.

    EDIT: Sorry, I'm running Dapper, as well.

    1. Make sure you're using 0.9.25.
    2. Make sure you're using OpenGL (simplest method is to open wow with: wine WoW.exe -opengl)
    3. Make sure you're using tweak #1.
    4. Make sure your color depth is set to 24 bits.
    5. Try tweak #2.

    I've got roughly the same setup as you and I'm getting between 40-100 FPS with the exception of 25 in Grom'gol.

    Thanks Z!

    Really seemed to help. Now when I'm indoors, I get around 70fps! Much better!

    A work around for the sudo problem is making a launcher to the script.
    You will need the launcher to run it in a terminal, so it can prompt for the password.

    Or, you can allow users to run commands through sudo without asking for a password.

    Code:
    $ sudo visudo
    add the following line to the file:
    Code:
    username ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/X
    Where "username" is your username. Duh. This line allows "username" to run /usr/bin/X (which is the command that requires root privileges in the wow launcher script) without a password. This will allow you to run the launcher without opening a terminal.

    Now, I'm no expert. For all I know, this is a major security hole. So use at your own risk.

    I think I'll leave it as it is.
