I have just been told that I can copy the installed WoW tree from Win XP to Wine (same machine, dual boot) because WoW doesnt use the registry. Granted, that would save a lot of time, BUT, is it true? Thanks, Jim -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It's not recommended, but if Wow has all its settings contained within the directory itself, then you could do this. -Austin On Feb 12, 2008 5:25 PM, Jim Hall <volunteer.jim at gmail.com> wrote:> I have just been told that I can copy the installed WoW tree from Win XP to > Wine (same machine, dual boot) because WoW doesnt use the registry.

Yes, I do it all the time. I usually delete my Config.wtf and have WoW create one, and then edit as per the wiki to change to opengl etc. I am not playing wow on Linux now though as my ATi seems to do very odd things, and have not had time to work it out.
