[Wine] Problem with Worl of Warcraft on Wine. Works very very slow.
Hi, I installed World of Warcraft on Wine, but I have a problem, World of Warcraft works very slow, and is impossible to play. Some time ago I tried World of Warcraft on Wine, when used Ubuntu and works great, but now works very slow. Wine version: 1.3.25 O.S.: ArchLinux 64 bits with desktop environment Gnome 3. Graphics: Mobile Intel GM45 Express Chipset Integrated Graphics CPU: Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU T4300 @ 2.10GHz ? 2 RAM: 3GB The version of World of Warcraft is: World of Warcraft Wrath of The Lich King 3.3.5a Thanks :)

Blizzard doesn't even support the game in Windows for Intel graphics cards anymore I don't think. Since the Linux drivers for Intel cards are usually horrible you may not have any luck with that card. Be sure you have the newest driver for your card, but if that doesn't help your best bet would be to replace it with an Nvidia or ATI card. Even a budget Nvidia card would be an improvement since their Linux drivers are fairly well supported. If you or a friend have an extra Nvidia or ATI card handy you could use that to test performance.
