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

[golephish]

I am running wow in ubuntu because of the superior framerates. however, te icons in game seem to flash and are sometimes wrong. I tried adding a line to my xserver but it crashed. I am using an ATI x1300 w/ 2 g of ram on asus sephron. any ideas?

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.

got it running..

but i have NO sound what so ever in game.

using a Auzentech prelude X-Fi with creative drivers (sound works in general ubuntu)

but nothing in game. any ideas?

edit: i just checked.. and wow seems to be using my ONBOARD sound to output, even though the xfi is selected as default in my audio prefences (system>preferences>sound)

anyway i can swap what card its using? kinda annoying really.

I'm having an odd problem that hasn't been addressed recently. I downloaded the client (since I don't own the discs) and it runs just fine, but when it asks me to accept the EULA, it doesn't register that I've scrolled all the way down, and the "Accept" button never becomes active. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong, or what specs you would need to help me fix this problem?
Thank you very much.

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

ps. latest wine as well, changed config.wtf in wtf/
wine's using aoss sound driver.

pps. one more thing. DRI is not enabled, i'm trying to fix this now

[sirthorn]

i run wow.exe with
sh -c "wine /home/znahar/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/wow/Wow.exe - opengl"

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.

seems it just can't connect to the server, coz news block on the left of the wow's window does not appear as well. can you please help me?

The news block doesn't always appear. There hasn't been any news there in the past few days (as far as I've seen anyway).
