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'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

@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'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,

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 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.

So I used to use the winepulse patch for wine. (Yes I like pulse). But since 1.3.25+ uses mmdevapi for audio, that patch no longer works. That author points to a wine multimedia git, however, after installing that I have no more sound in any wine application, and the winecfg test audio says audio failed. How do I get this new sound server working in wine? -- Sincerely, MacNean C. Tyrrell

Just trying to determine if anyone else using Wine + WoW + RealID friends is experiencing the same problem, so I can determine if it's a router/internet/wow/linux(wine) issue. All my realID friends show location unknown (regular toon friends properly show the location). Also, battle.net looses connection with realid and it takes a wow restart to resolve. Any input would be great. --

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 on Ubuntu Lucid with the Wine PPA in my repos, and wine --version still gives "wine-1.2", not 1.3.0 and on. What's the magic incantation to get the dev releases? - d.

OK, so I don't know what's going on. (even with tinyproxy/firehol off the following occurs). Unless wine is run by root, when WoW is first loaded and trying to login, WoW creates a Cache folder and a bunch of folders under cache for login purposes. The Cache folder exists in: <wine profile dir>/drive_c/users/Public/Applicatoin data/Blizzard Entertainment/Battle.net. Now it can

Ok I got IE7 working, mainly because of Steam, but I wanted to see if I could get flash working, aparently activex controls won't install correctly. Is there a way to fix this? (i've tried Winetricks for flash but it tells me the .exe hash doesn't match or something). Anyways, just curious, not to use ie in linux but mainly to get flash working since steam seems to use IE for

I thought that I would be able to use Wine to play TF2 in Fedora 11, so I used this guide to install steam: http://fedorasolved.org/gaming-solutions/installing-steam-using-wine Steam appeared to be working fine, so I downloaded some games (TF2 and CS:S), When they were done downloading, I tried to play one, and the "Preparing to launch TF2" box came up. So I waited for a few seconds and

At first I thought it was due to running Mangler simultaneously, but recently we've had no sound in World of Warcraft. One night when I was setting up to raid that night, I started WoW, and sound worked fine. I then quit WoW, started Mangler, started WoW, had sound in the first but not the second. When WoW started this dialogue box popped up saying that a change in hardware had been detected

I had some some weird issues with the last patch but the latest one is bad. If I click on my action bar the screen will pause for about 2sec/+, I try to pan camera same problem. In auto-run it's happens about once every 30s, in manual run forward it's about every 10s. It all started with 1.1.28, now how do I go back to an older version?

If anybody know HOW I can use the X11 cursor theme in Wine?
