I've been trying to open up multiple instances of WoW under Wine for a while now... I can get two copies open at once without a problem, but I run into issues when I try to open a third. Some background: I'm running each one from a separate install, not trying to open them all from the same folder. I'm using Wine 1.1.2, and the latest binary nVidia drivers (173.14.12). I've got 2 GB of RAM and an nVidia 8800GTX with 768 MB RAM. I've got a Core2Duo E6700 (2.66ghz stock) that's phase cooled and overclocked to 3.2ghz stable, but I've brought it back down to stock values for testing. I'm running Ubuntu Hardy, 2.6.24-20-generic, and I've disabled Compiz for testing purposes. Now then... I can open up two instances of WoW with no problems whatsoever. When I go to open the third, I end up with only the window borders, and nothing else. The output from the third window is as follows: err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume' element fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on SAA7134, disabling mixer fixme:advapi:SetSecurityInfo stub archive Data\patch.MPQ opened archive Data\enUS\patch-enUS.MPQ opened archive Data\enUS\patch-enUS-2.MPQ opened archive Data\patch-2.MPQ opened archive Data\expansion.MPQ opened archive Data\common.MPQ opened archive Data\enUS\locale-enUS.MPQ opened archive Data\enUS\speech-enUS.MPQ opened archive Data\enUS\expansion-locale-enUS.MPQ opened archive Data\enUS\expansion-speech-enUS.MPQ opened fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32eda4,0x00000000), stub! fixme:d3d:IWineD3DImpl_FillGLCaps OpenGL implementation supports 32 vertex samplers and 32 total samplers fixme:d3d:IWineD3DImpl_FillGLCaps Expected vertex samplers + MAX_TEXTURES(=8) > combined_samplers fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32ec94,0x00000000), stub! fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32f42c,0x00000000), stub! fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32f5a8,0x00000000), stub! fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32f5a0,0x00000000), stub! fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32f57c,0x00000000), stub! fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32f144,0x00000000), stub!

I just got handed a third account, and I'd love to use it to 3-box and level in preparation for WotLK ;) I've been prodding at this for a few days, and searching all over the place... Unfortunately, the number of people multiboxing on Linux is pretty damn limited, it seems ;) Thanks in advance!

Use: $ WINEPREFIX=~/.somedir wine wow_setup.exe to use more than one prefix.
