wine users - Sep 2010 - world of warcraft Cata droping openGL

it seems wow is moving towards GLL for the Macs and could be dropping the normal
OpenGL.

how is this going to effect running WOW with wine ?

 right now running wow under directX is painful and so slow on my system thats
it just not a option.

They cannot drop OpenGL for Macs.. but yeah, they might drop support on it for
Windows...

from someone at Blizzard...
> GLL is only the backend name, this is not a framework or a public library.
All backends on MacOSX use OpenGL, there's nothing else...

graphics functions. Most games have only one per platform. WoW is different
because it's been in development for years and needs to be constantly
updated.

yes i know but if i SET it to GLL it sees me on a windows system because of wine
and puts me in DirectX mode. if they not drop OpenGL but us GLL it does mean you
have to be on a MAC in order to use OpenGL thu the GLL front end.

that mean All wine users will be stuck in DirectX made and thats real bad.

well i get 60 fps with wow set to openGL and i get 8FPS when it is set to
DirectX why ? this is in the same place in the game.
