Hi,
I've been having some problems with WoW for the past month that have just
gotten worse and worse.
My Stats:
I'm running Ubuntu 8.10, 2.6.27-7 generic for a kernel
The CPU is a P4 3.0 ghz, sporting 2 GB of RAM
I'm running with a 512 MB GeForce 7600 GS, AGP 8X, w driver 173.14.12
My wine is 1.1.9, as of the time of this writing
My Symptoms:
Ok problems started shortly after upgrading to 8.10. At first I'd
occasionally get the dreaded "Error 132" crash from WoW. I did not
think much of it at first. A few days pass, and a few updates, including wine,
and the problem becomes MUCH more frequent. The 3.0 patch hits and not as if on
cue, I would error 132 crash almost always 15 minutes after logging in. It got
so bad, that I simply would no longer see a login screen after getting past the
launcher, and just immediately 132 crash.
At this point I had had enough. So I started researching causes of the 132
crash. Following some advice, I decided to reinstall WoW. I wiped it out of
the .wine folder, grabbed my DVD's and started installing. The install
crashed on a 132 error also. It repeatedly crashes in the same place.
There's nothing in the terminal output from running this except a
"fixme", wondering where the "FrizQuadratta" font is.
So I need some help figuring this one out, because I really don't want to
have to rerig a boot option for a windows install to run WoW. Please lemme know
what info I can put together to help you diagnose this. I'm tech savvy, but
an admitted Linux newb, so please make your diagnostic question easy to follow,
so I can give you the best information possible.
Thanks a lot, in advance to all who'll lend a hand!
