similar to: WOW Cataclysm won't install

Forwarding to list. One of my concerns is that we don't direct users to scan the forum entries before they post. This is just one example of 'me too' messages in a series. And the maddening thing is that folks like Jim below, don't have the problem. Several 'fixes' have been posted to work around what originally appears to be brokenness in Wine, starting about 1.1.44,

Debian Lenny Wine 1.0.1 from Lenny repository Intel Dual Core 2GB RAM 250 GB SATA HD Nvidia 9600 GT When start WOW from system application menu I get the following error after I click on "Play" button on the WOW launcher. The application has encountered a critical error: Program: C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Wow.exe Exception: 0xC0000005 (ACCESS_VIOLATION) at

been a couple of days now that i'm trying to install WoW cataclysm from the downloader provided by blizz, once i install and the launcher for the downloading of the game starts the launcher blocks and turns off. i run ubuntu 12.04 LTS and tried with both wine 1.4 and 1.5 and both have the same error, i also tried installing the IE6 libraries for the launcher but nothing changes. here are the

Similar case with the other recent post about this. World of Warcraft 3.3.5, just after install the new game patch Graphics: nVidia Corporation GeForce 7600 GT (rev a2) Driver: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-195.36.31-pkg1.run, the more recent now WIne 1.1.44, more recent versions have graphics errors for me Debian Lenny The console output after the crash is VERY long: wine: Unhandled page fault on write

Hello, The WoW 4.0 Cataclysm patch landed today, and there's bound to be lots of questions about getting it running in wine. My current status is that I've downloaded the patch and installed it. I've got the new (original WoW) login screen graphic. Once I login, I see a new character background and then a "downloading update" message. Wine crashes moments later.

I'm getting 24 FPS in Uldum in that place the portal from Orgrimmar takes you to. Not great. My wife seems to be raiding ok with it as it is, so I guess we're ok, but it seems sad to have upgraded CPU and RAM so much and be getting such poor results. Seeing as playing WoW is pretty much all we do with it, maybe it's worth giving ?80 to Micro$oft to get their rubbish OS. In summary,

I ran WoW on Windows just a few weeks before I first posted in this thread. TBH my wife used it more than me - it was her PC. But I used to occasionally steer her around when we were questing together or something and she was AFK. The graphics settings under Windows were much higher then than they are now and the FPS, although I didn't measure it exactly, was at least as good. When I turn the

Ok, after several hours, I installed the nVidia drivers from their own website, and then (this was the bit that took longest) I installed Wine 1.3.28 from the PPA. I had a go at building 1.3.29 from sources, but it complained about not having 32 bit development libraries. I looked around and all I could find was to install wine-deps from the PPA so I figured if I was going to do that, I might as

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

I have the same issue, the game is actually working but the Launcher won't work (any type of private server I would try) http://i53.tinypic.com/1zxb72s.jpg Just a question I have : how can I backtrace it ? Or how can I use a debugger to see what's wrong ? Backtracing it means like running the application in terminal like wine application.exe ?

Off the top of my head, the graphics cards are 7600 GS graphics cards. On the Kubuntu forum, some people who didn't have my problems getting OpenGL to work say they used some X Updates PPA to get their nVidia drivers packages, and they have version 280 of the drivers. I also found a website that talked about building the kernel with some special CONFIG options such as AGPGART and stuff. I

So Bliz just a pushed a new Beta build and I'm getting alot of crashes now. Anyone else? A few observations: 1. It crashes anytime I log into a character in Orgrimar. It manages to actually complete the loading process, but within a second or two of Org and my character appearing, crash. The only thing that has happened before the crash in these cases is my character's talent

@BlackNoxis/tparker: Wine --version: wine-1.2.2 I checked the software package manager program and I don't see a newer Wine version listed :( The graphics drivers are version "NVIDIA 195.36.24" I believe - the "185" in nvidia-glx-185 doesn't seem to match the actual driver version for some reason. ------ @dardack: Thanks for the info. I'd still be interested

I only got offered a few choices - I think I clicked yes to all of them. I read in one post that the answer is to uninstall and re-install the graphics drivers - not sure how that will help, but how do I uninstall nVidia's drivers? I have a vague memory of someone posting about lib32 paths and simlinks or something.

Are you pschizophrenic? Anyway, as I have said before, I am sure it ran faster when I was running it with the same graphics cards under Windows with a slower processor and less RAM. Maybe I need to tweak the SLI setting. Currently it is set to "on", but there are other settings. ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/96.43.20/README/appendix-w.html has some details.

I'm using nvidia-current for the drivers and nvidia-glx-185 (which appears to be the latest although I did see mention of version 195 somewhere on the internet). Can you post your xorg.conf, Config.wtf (or at least the relevant parts of it) and anything else that may be useful (glxinfo output?) please. I'd really appreciate it. Also, do you remember any settings or changes you did after

Hi, I have a kind of annoying and what it seems like unusual problem while trying to play the game World of Warcraft. I think I have done everything that people have recommended others to try out, have been googling around for some hours now. My graphic card is: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon HD 4770 [RV740] and I have installed the drivers for it. The funny thing is that my brother uses the exact

When I start wow and get logged into my character, my FPS will be high, like 75, then after 30 seconds or less maybe, it will drop for 20 FPS. I've tried all the fixes I read about on the WoW WineHQ page and thats how I got up to 75 fps for that short while (before, it was like 35 fps, which dropped to 15 fps) Some info on my setup: Ubuntu 9.04 (64 bit) Kernel 2.6.28-14-generic Wine 1.1.26
