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

[hikaricore]

Recently after the update of 2.10, WOW freezes when exits,
In the console it says

fixme:reg:GetNativeSystemInfo (0x37400f40) using GetSystemInfo()
fixme:process:IsWow64Process (0xffffffff 0x7bbfe4b4) stub!
fixme:wininet:InternetSetOptionW Option INTERNET_OPTION_CONTEXT_VALUE; STUB

Any idea how to fix this?

everyone's is having this issue:

this probably won't be fixed for a couple wine releases or until the next wow patch.
until then, try my kill script for WoW: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...4&postcount=42

also, don't post the same thing in more than one thread.

I just want to point out that i installed and are playing wow TBC without any problems.
Using tweaks and open gl, haven't tried antialiasing.

Almost like in win, except there were some issues when changing cdroms during instalation.
I had to do some sudo umount -l /media/cdrom, wine eject, when one cd finished installing.

My specs are 2100xp athlon, 768 ram, Nvidia 7600gs AGP.


Only bug i have ... the game hangs on exit, which i fix by doing alt tab to terminal i started wow in and doing ctrl+c.

Well i got it installed.

I have a framerate of 60 FPS when there's no enemy or other char in the screen

As soon as there is an enemy in the screen or another character the framerate drops to 8-12 FPS and in my opinion that isn't playable. So I'm still playing WoW on windows

If anyone would happen to have a solution for my problem I'd hapily take any advise (i want at least 20 FPS constantly)

PS: i've tried opening a new thread but there seems no answer at all.

Too many ATI threads, alot of them get ignored. Sorry.

Similar to the problem mike-db had, i can get WoW loaded but i can't get past the videos. It will show them both and then exit right out of the program. I loaded WoW using the terminal and this is what came out.

I have installed the latest Feisty (all up to date) and wine. I copied over my working windows install to this machine and disabled all the addons. I can load the game using opengl but soon after I enter the world it freezes. I can move about 10 yards in game.

I am trying to run this on an IBM Thinkpad r52 which has an ATI graphics card built in. I ma using the proprietary drivers, but I dont have to, it was the only way to get it working at all.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get this working?

Thanks

Thanks for the quick guide. It works nicely except for one thing -- is it normal to have the sound delayed by 0.5 - 1 second? It is quite noticable for me.

Sound lag is a known issue with ALSA on slower systems, switch Wine to OSS.
