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 Wine 1.1.26 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.5GHz NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 4GB RAM Any idea why my FPS drops after 30 seconds or so?

as far as I can tell, I've only played 10 minutes with the terrible fps, but it just stays slow, no crash or corruptions. something else I've noticed is if I close it and go back in within like 5 minutes, the game is still slow. but if I wait a while, it plays good again.
I have the OpenGL slider set to high performance and I don't see a multi sampling option. and I start with 120 FPS outside of Dalaran and 50 FPS inside Dalaran. Then after 30 seconds or so, it drops to 22-30 fps outside Dalaran and 7-13 in Dalaran. All my settings except view distance are as low as they can go, and view distance is halfway up. Also, to test if this happens, I sit somewhere and don't move my character or camera and I watch my FPS.
well it isn't playable in WG, it would be if my mouse didn't match my framerate. but since my mouse lags behind too I can't play it. and I played on high settings in vista. also, i have the nvidia 180 driver. and still didn't find multisampling.
