Blizzard is trying to "help" me diagnose a login problem that I am having with the Launcher. I'm certain that this can be laid on their doorstep, but I have no way to "prove" it. One of the things they want is this: For Windows XP/2000: Important Note: Please reboot your system prior to creating the dxdiag and msinfo files. 1. Click on Start. 2. Click on Run. 3. Type in DXDIAG and press Enter or click OK, this will open the DirectX diagnostic tool. Run the DirectDraw, Direct3D and DirectSound tests found under the Display and Sound tabs before creating the dxdiag.txt file. 4. Click on the Save All Information Button (save this file to your windows desktop and name it dxdiag). 5. Click on the More Help tab and open the Microsoft system information tool (MSInfo). 6. Click on File and choose Export (save this file to your windows desktop as a text file and name it MSInfo). Please make sure to save this file as a .txt file and NOT as a .nfo file. Is this even remotely possible with Wine? Especially since I'm running OpenGL, Alsa, etc.? Latest Wine version as well. Jim -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

One of the things they want is this:Sorry, I don't know where to look for that information through Wine, or if it's even there to find. Blizzard has done helpful blueposts on the forums for Linux users before, if you can't get the information they want for official support you might try a forum post. The launcher working is an off and on thing for Wine, but you should be able to log in just fine by skipping the launcher and starting the game from the Wow.exe instead. Just FYI - the background downloader won't work, it is going on the windows/mac boxes now so sometime in the next week or two when a big content patch lands you will have to allow time for the download or copy it from a non-Linux box that used the background downloader.
DXDIAG exists in wine, but it won't give you the information you would get if you run it with Windows - not at the Moment - :D
