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,

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

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.

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

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

@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

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 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

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 ?

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.

Debian Lenny Wine 1.1.42 (because there are no binaries) Nvidia 9600 GT I just tried to install the WOW expansion Cataclysm. The Wine installer program returns "access denied". I don't remember seeing this mentioned. So, what do I do now? Jim -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

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

First off I just want to say thank you to all who contribute to wine, it is an awesome piece of software for the Linux community. I am trying to find a way to do a simple OpenGL test within Wine. I have looked all over but I can't seem to find anything. What is the easiest way to test OpenGL and ensure that it's working correctly? The reason I'm asking is this: I recently upgraded

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

Hi everyone, I hate to ask n00bish questions, but after several days of forum scouring and searching for answers, I'm at a loss as to where to go next. I'm a long-time Linux CLI user, but I haven't really played with Wine or many aspects of the GUI-end until recently. I've been trying to get two of my favorite Windows games to run on my Debian Testing install, and keep coming to

I recall this old post: http://msmvps.com/blogs/plenderj/archive/2007/07/14/foray-into-feisty-fawn-helped-me-take-back-my-mips.aspx This was in Ubuntu 7.04 days. What are current test results like for WoW on Windows XP versus WoW on Ubuntu/Wine these days? - d.

I have constructed a Trellis style xyplot. lengthf <- factor(length) xyplot(SLI$velocity ~ SLI$width | SLI$lengthf, layout = c(2,7), xlab = "Width (cm)", ylab = "Velocity (m/s^2)", col = "black") This produces a lovely little plot. However, the grouping factor(lengthf) isn't in the right order. My values range from 2-28 and the 2 graph on the bottom left and

Im trying to run homeworld cataclysm, but im having 2 issues with it. 1. I cannot set it to my computers resolution. It only goes to 1280x1024. I need to set it to 1680x1050, however i cannot set this in game. What to do? 2. the game seems to run a littly chopily. Is there anything i should enable in wine to make it better ? And if so where?
