Re: Wine and WoW Cataclysm Patch 4.0 troubleshooting thread
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,

Re: Wine and WoW Cataclysm Patch 4.0 troubleshooting thread
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

Re: Wine and WoW Cataclysm Patch 4.0 troubleshooting thread
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

Re: Wine and WoW Cataclysm Patch 4.0 troubleshooting thread
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.

Re: Wine and WoW Cataclysm Patch 4.0 troubleshooting thread
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.

Thanks for the info. I'd still be interested

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.

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 ?

Re: Wine and WoW Cataclysm Patch 4.0 troubleshooting thread
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.

Wine and WoW Cataclysm Patch 4.0 troubleshooting thread
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.

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?

Latest WoW Cataclysm Beta build = frequent crashing
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

WoW: Low FPS
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

WoW freeze computer
Hi all,
my problem is probably common (I actually asked for help for a similar
problem in the past), but I cannot find any solution.

WoW on Ubuntu 10.04
Hi, some time ago i've installed WoW in Ubuntu 9.10 using wine 1.1.42 (wine1.2 ubuntu package). Everything fine, had a few fps problems but with some tips found in wowwiki i've manage to increase fps to about 20. Some users would say it's still low, but i was happy with it.
Well, some weeks ago i've updated to Ubuntu lucid (10.04). It's great, but my WoW fps drop down to about

Get real - install Windows!
After months where my wife was patiently playing WoW with appalling graphics because WoW doesn't really support OpenGL any more, and an even worse frame rate despite really low graphics settings, I finally got fed up with the fact that I cannot, under any circumstances, get sound out of Mangler and WoW at the same time even though the Wine audio test works fine, and was getting zero support on
