When playing world of warcraft, my game freezes up every few hours. It doesn't seem to make a difference if I am in a high "action" area or out in the middle of the woods. I have tried 2 video cards, 4 video drivers, different ram, more ram, less ram, 3 operating systems (karmic 64, lucid 64, and mint 64), two different hard drives, 1.1.38, 1.1.39 Wine, and Crossover Games.... All to no avail. Any help or tips would be appreciated. CPU: Phenom 2 x4 940 MOBO: Foxconn A7DA-S RAM: 4x2GB GSKILL PC28500 1KW PSU Video: XFX 5870 1GB also tried Nvidia 8800GT
Have you had a chance to look through http://www.wowwiki.com/Wine_troubleshooting ? There might be something there that would apply to your system.
Yes, I have tried every trick posted there, unfortunately.
The error that I am having is not that specific. It is just a random freeze up. All zones load fine, and I have not had it crash when using a certain function of the game such as a mailbox or inventory. It actually seems to "freeze" more often when I am doing nothing.
As of the last patch (or maybe 2 back ...) blizzard instituted a new AFK modification where your game basically goes into "demo mode" and the camera zomes back out and spins around your character - are you going afk around the time this happens? I know mine will freeze if I go afk and this starts to occur ...
