similar to: Wine + WoW = having graphical issues

OS: Arch Linux (64-bit) (fully updated) GFX Card: Geforce 8800GT (driver version irrelevant - had problem for a year) WM: Openbox Problem: Whenever I minimise WoW, the fps drops to sub-10. I can solve this by minimising and maximising the window again, but if I wait too long after minimising, it doesn't always work. Also, if I minimise it by accident too many times, it also doesn't work.

Let me preface this post by saying I'm very new to Linux (Ubuntu 10.04) and thank you for taking the time to read this. I'm currently running Ubuntu 10.04 64bit, wine 1.3.2 and 2 ati 5770 cards in crossfire. I've upgraded the video drivers to the latest 10.8 version found on amd.ati.com When I try to run wow.exe I get the message "failed to find a suitable display device"

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

Hello all, I'm running WoW on Ubuntu 10.10 with the latest wine version as well as latest fglrx drivers. WoW runs quite well except that under the video settings, I can't turn the custom graphics settings to anything else than low. The reason in wow is: "Requires a shader model 3 capable graphics card" My card is an ATI HD5770 so I know it supports SM3. What am I supposed to

Running Ubuntu 7.10 64bit, had World of Warcraft running fine under Wine with OpenGL, then my graphics card ate itself (Nvidia 7900GTX). Bought a new one (Nvidia 8800GT), but I had to monkey with the system in order to get the 8800GT to work. I'm pretty sure I messed something up trying to get the 8800GT to work as I had to remove the restricted drivers module. Now when I try to run WoW.exe

Hey, Im using Wine 1.1.14 for OpenSuse 11.1.

Hi, I'm a newbie here, so please don't threat me too bad. :D I wanted to ask you .. Yesterday I installed Linux Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) on my PC, it's the first Linux OS I use on it and I'm pretty confused, but I'm trying to make it work anyway. I installed WoW, using this FAQ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft. I followed it, step to step, except for the

That's what I'm going to do, after purging all the current nvidia stuff frommy system. The second thing I'm going to do is download, build and install the latest decent version of Wine. Thanks for all your advice. It's been really helpful. --------- One more question. What with OpenGL support getting dropped from WoW, I was wondering if it was worth trying to use DirectX under

Running Ubuntu 10.04, Nvidia driver version 260.19.29, 3 GB RAM, AMD Phenom Quad-Core, wine-1.3.11. I notice no difference in performance whether OpenGL is enabled or not. Does this mean D3D is now working and I don't need OpenGL now? I get close to 80fps in some places, which is great, but in a raid or other places with a lot of toons and activitiy, Wow practically freezes up and becomes

So I managed to install and get WoW running on my Eee PC 1000HD. However, the program will crash unexpectedly after 5-20 minutes. There doesn't seem to be a predictable occurrence that causes it to crash tho. I have been looking for answers but have found nothing so far. I should clarify that it isnt a complete crash. Wine pops up an error about how it needs to close but I can still hear

Hello everyone. I've asked for help a few days ago, but now I need help again. [Embarassed] Here I have another problem. I want to start World of Warcraft (wow.exe), I have downloaded wine with Yast.

Before we start, I am new to Linux, so please be gentle. I only got as far as I did due to google and this website. I installed World of Warcraft using Wine. After 2 days of troubleshooting and fixing driver issues, I was able to log in last night and the game ran flawlessly. I logged out, installed all of my normal addons logged back in and they all worked. I played for about an hour and

Hi All, I've posted for some suggestions in the WoW forums, but it's been suggested that I post here as well, as I'm more likely to get someone who has a clue :) PROBLEM ====== After an extended play time in one area (~ 1 hour), or rapid travel between areas, the performance degrades substantially. It goes from 60+ FPS to about 5FPS and doesn't recover until I restart the game.

Before I say anything, I should probably say that I do realize that I should not be running wine as root, however for the purpose of debugging I tried it anyways ... and to my surprise found it worked. 1 The situation First of all, this is the same installation, using the same configuration file on the same computer, etc. As a normal user Wow.exe does not even start (note that Launcher.exe does

Hey, I installed Wine the other day on my Crunchbang linux machine. Trying to completely switch over to linux.

I then try to us it under Wine I can't even see the login screen for WoW, I can hear the sounds and
