After upgrading to a Club 3D Radeon 5770 overclocked edition i was finally able to get some good fps out of wow... 90 => 110 FPS in Stanglethorn Vale with all the graphics option to their lowest setting possible. However last night the game installed patch 3.3.0 => 3.3.2.... Afer doing that upgrade the game actually runs at about 60 FPS now if i am lucky.... Mostly when i walk around the in the game the FPS goes up/down wildly between 21 and 55 to 60 fps... The game was working properly.... why is the fps suddenly so bad... ? i don't get it at all.

Not saying that's your problem. Second: the usual questions. How is Wine setup/configured for video; version of Wine; computer and OS specs; etc.; etc. Jim -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have the wine 1.2 (current) package installed on Ubuntu 9.10 i386 I have the following computer: Asus M4N78-SE AMD Phenom II X4 9650 Club3D Ati Radeon 5770 OC (875mhz Clock) 4GB Kinston Valueram Its not the fatest pc... but it will do for me. I am using the ATI 10-1 Driver package (latest) from their website, as the one ubuntu provides doesn't support my GPU properly. As for wine i use the standard settings it comes with plus the below tweaks: - I have the opengl register tweak active - I also have the mozilla control package and the 4 dll files installed. - Wow is running in opengl mode with resolution of 1440x900 and all graphics to their lowest settings. need anything more ?
Bump - My Problem still remains and and i cannot seem to fix it... I am at 80FPs now but as soon as i come across any creatures, npc, or other player it drops to 25fps or below... i hate to think what would happens in a instance.
A game update can contain an updated graphics engine which behaves differently from the previous one. It can easily be that its new opengl renderer is less efficient which causes the slowdowns but it can also be in other parts of the Wow code.
