[wine 1.6] World of Warcraft won't install (download)

[peter16]

Hello!

I'm trying to install World of Warcraft through the online installer provided by Blizzard; this is how it looks.

Response: 200
{
    "playable" : false,
    "progress" : 0.000000,
    "playable_progress" : 0.000014,
    "download_rate" : 0.000000,
    "download_remaining" : 0.000000,
    "time_playable" : 30016.000000,
    "time_complete" : 1330016.000000,
    "state" : 1002.000000
}
Request Issued: GET /install/wow_engb

}

I choose install, I read and accept the agreement, choose location, etc. And this just keeps looping. Anyone know how to fix this?

It's stuck at 0% and I can't change any settings or anything in the client (those are greyed out).

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

you should first visit

http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManage...ation&iId=1922

and read the marks about your version of the game. Often there is some
info given how to get it run.

Of course I've read the feedback and comments; there should be no problems with WoW and Wine 1.6.

Thank you for your reponse.

Thank you for your reponse.

I run 32 bit Ubuntu 12.04, and libnss-mdns is already installed and updated. Unfortunately, that link didn't help.

Have you tried using PlayOnLinux to do the WoW install?

Hi,

i've surfd a bit. Possibley it can help. Found it here

Try it, the interresting thing could be step 4 and 5. But you should read it from start.

Do you got a firewall enabled? If so open your port 3724.

Also i found on a german site:

Hängt beim Login mit "Downloading"

Als Lösung genügt es, WoW einmal nicht mit dem Argument -opengl, sondern mit -d3d9 zu starten (und ggf. in der config.wtf gxapi "opengl" rauszunehmen). Dann kann die Dialogbox, dass Systeminfos an Blizzard übertragen werden, angezeigt werden. Danach läuft die OpenGL-Version auch wieder.

it' shurly not exact your probelm, but it's worth try. It say it' hangs on login with "Downloading"
Given solution is to start wow once without -opengl. Replace it with -d3d9. Evtl you have to take out gxapi or "opengl" out of the config.wtf. Then
the Dialog can show up.
