wine users - Feb 2009 - WoW: Wrath of the Lich King issue

I'm currently running Ubuntu 8.10 and Wine 1.15.  WoW Installs fine, once I
launch it the fun starts :)

When I launch the game, it runs the intro video (normal for first launch after
an install): after the video runs its course, or I skip it, it should prompt me
to accept some EULA.  Instead it crashes and exits with:


Code:
This application has encountered a critical error:

ERROR #132 (0x85100084) Fatal Exception
Program:	C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Wow.exe
Exception:	0xC0000005 (ACCESS_VIOLATION) at 0073:005D383C

The instruction at "0x005D383C" referenced memory at
"0x0062AC9C".
The memory could not be "written".




It's just a generic exception, trying to chase it down turns up hundreds of
#132's from Windows users, Mac users, etc...  :\

I'm not sure if hardware is relevant: if it is I'll gladly edit and
provide.

Running in OGL or DX mode? If DX, switch to OGL.

DX mode is only if I specify -d3d when running it from console, correct?  If
not, how do I specify OGL mode?

I've been tinkering, mainly with reinstalling wine (lol) - when I launch the
game now I get nothing.

the console goes on with these 


Code:
fixme:d3d_draw:drawStridedFast
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
GL_INVALID_OPERATION (0x502) from glDrawElements @ drawprim.c/ 276




when I run with and without -d3d

Those are followed by this (when I terminate the process(es)):

Code:
^Cwine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000000 at address 0x7e99cde8
(thread 0057), starting debugger...

^Cerr:seh:raise_exception Unhandled exception code c000013a flags 0 addr
0xb809942e
err:seh:raise_exception Unhandled exception code c000013a flags 0 addr
0xb7f1aa65





Changes I've made since the first post - I reinstalled wine a few times
(after playing around with winetricks a bit) and actually managed to reproduce
an error that I could find! (the accept button on the EULA remained grayed out).
then I decided I preferred the look of the KDE desktop so I installed KDE linux
instead.

The version of wine is the same, but I haven't re-experimented with
winetricks.

I really feel extremely stupid...it seems to me that I've overlooked
something obvious.

haha thank you for the link.  If I run it from console with -opengl it works.  I
knew I was being stupid  :D
