hi, I'm trying to run the World of Warcraft client ver. 3.2.0(10314)under Fedora 11. Everything seems to be running fine, but the game randomly crashes, usually after 20-40min. of gameplay, with the following errormessages: Code: failed to open Z:/home/trustno1/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/World of Warcraft EN/Data/Interface/Icons failed to open Z:/home/trustno1/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/World of Warcraft EN/Interface/Icons wine: Unhandled page fault on write access to 0x00000000 at address 0x7521b6 (thread 0009), starting debugger... ^Cerr:seh:setup_exception_record nested exception on signal stack in thread 0009 eip 72dda046 esp 7ffdac44 stack 0x232000-0x3a0000 ./wow.sh: line 1: 6479 Segmentation fault wine '/home/trustno1/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/World of Warcraft EN/Wow.exe' -opengl Kernel version is: Linux fedora 2.6.30.5-43.fc11.x86_64 I'm using the lastest proprietary drivers from nvidia Anyone know what could cause this? thanks Dominik

Unless it messes up the interface or the addon in game you can ignore that. My first guess is it's the stuff after that causing the crash. Something to check for the other part: How much RAM does your computer have? I'm in FC11 (64) and had to limit my system from 5G to 3G to make games stable. It has something to do with WoW not limiting itself to the amount of memory it knows how to handle (since it is 32 bit) and then crashing, it can happen in 64 bit Windows as well. I don't know if you are having the same problem, but that error looks like the one I used to get. If you think that may be the problem you can test it by limiting the RAM and undo it if that doesn't help. Scroll down the WoW page on the wine appdb there are instructions for telling your computer it has less memory then it really does have so that this doesn't happen, but that will limit your memory for the whole system - not just for the games.

One thing I noticed is that the early quests seem to be affected the most. Once I get to Ogrimar the game seems to run much more stable.

Should I try to limit it anyway?Nope - if you only have 3G then that takes that problem out of the list of possibles. :) Have you gone through the page at the appdb for WoW and checked to see how your system/install matches up with the recommended stuff? Reading through that you might find something to try or that give more of a hint at what the problem might be.
