    Now the RegEdit tweak (tweak 1) is to tell the program not to even try running with that extention reducing the load and the leaks and garbage that pulls down the FPS

    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.

    - Z
    I followed all these steps (not sure on #4, but I think I did) and I'm only getting ~20fps indoors, is that low or am I just asking for performance my PC doesn't have: Celeron (2 ghz), GeForce 6200, and a gig of ram.
    The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.

    Re: Double your framerate in WoW under Wine

    Your best bet is to try it on windows and see. Your CPU does seem a little slow - I was running wow with a Athlon XP 1900+ a while back (under windows) and had issues.

    BTW, the above works well, it seems to give a significant FPS boost, before it was unplayable, now I almost have better performance than I had with windows! (perhaps there was another problem with my configuration that I fixed at the same time or something).

    I had to change the script slightly, the "cd" command in mine reads:

    Code:
    cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/World\ of\ Warcraft   # Goto WoW dir
    The other one gave me an error, so I removed the quotes and used backslashes to sort out the spaces.

    Also, if I run the script once, it works fine, but after closing wow, re-running the script doesn't work properly - this is probably just me not understanding how x servers work... It gives me a message about the server already running, comes up with some stuff which indicates that wow is probably starting up, but switching (with <Ctr><Alt><F9>) just gives a blank screen.

    Tweak #2 didn't do anything for me. But I'm not sure I'd notice anyway, I run full graphics options and it's smooth either way, in it's own X or in my default X.

    I hope to be able to do the same. I think I am getting a new video card for Christmas. If I don't I am buying one afterwards.

    Re: Double your framerate in WoW under Wine

    Thank you VERY much for the guide.. This helped me immensely. I've just started really but I'm having a positivie experience with WoW on Linux so far

    Now if I can figure out why changing video settings crashes WoW every time :-/

    Re: Double your framerate in WoW under Wine

    Has the game worked before? If so, what has changed?

    This could probably be an error with your grafics card drivers or xgl/aiglx/compiz/beryl.

    Try reinstalling your grafics card drivers and removing the compositions effects if you have installed any.

    Very nice. I hit to up 130 fps in Ogrimmar on Blade's Edge today. I even have FULL detail on. Very Hawt. This is 4x what I got in windows. Just have to fix the sound in WoW now.

    A little offtopic here, but did anyone else's minimap suddenly start working everywhere properly or is it just me? ^.^
