wine users - Feb 2011 - Re: WoW quits right after I click PLAY

well, as an update, i wiped that hard drive off and replaced it with a larger
drive. So I'm now running Ubuntu 10.10. My vid card is an Intel GMA950.
Onboard, it sucks, I know. However, this computer WAS playing WoW before I
converted it to Ubuntu, so I'm at a loss.

Any help would be appreciated. There's NO way I'm going back to Windows,
but I  haven't played my game now since December

  You may have lucked out in Windows and been able to use it but the 
video drivers in Linux are different than the ones on Windows, even for 
the same video card. Intel doesn't really bother with making good Linux 
drivers. I was able to play WoW in Linux with a video card below the 
specs the game required but it was an Nvidia card and had a good video 
driver. I'm sorry to not be more helpful, but your best chance at 
playing the game will be to replace the video card.
