So I managed to install and get WoW running on my Eee PC 1000HD. However, the program will crash unexpectedly after 5-20 minutes. There doesn't seem to be a predictable occurrence that causes it to crash tho. I have been looking for answers but have found nothing so far. I should clarify that it isnt a complete crash. Wine pops up an error about how it needs to close but I can still hear the music in WoW but the program doesn't respond to inputs. And I cannot exit out of WoW without force quitting and cannot start it again until I restart my laptop. Specs: Eee PC 1000HD Ubuntu-netbook 10.10 Kernel Linux 2.6.35-28-generic-pae Intel Celeron M 900Mhz (upgraded to:)2G RAM I'm running WoW on Wine 1.2.2 I run it with OpenGL because d3d doesn't work. I have modified the registry and use Eee Applet and GMABooster (neither which seem to effect the gameplay or crash) Here is some information that I thought relevant. Pastebin from wow crash. Crash occured on line 127 http://pastebin.com/ppAWepHD Config.wtf http://pastebin.com/HtEMqgMy :~$ glxinfo | grep rendering direct rendering: Yes :~$ glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version" OpenGL version string: 1.4 Mesa 7.9-devel The only AddOn I'm using is ApplyToForehead (disabling this did not resolve the issue either) Please give me some advice on how to get this working. I'm rather linux illiterate so I may need to be walked through more tests.

Also, what is your video card chipset? Jim -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It is below the requirements but people have managed to make eee pcs run with a hit to graphics and gameplay. -lspci says that I'm using a Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller

Dedicated graphics aren't exactly the...norm in that segment :) I don't think that box would play WoW on windows btw...it's not a wine issue. From the symptoms it sounds like he's just running out of available memory.
This is likely a problem with the host machine. However, I too have noticed this after about a full day on my machine (6GiB system RAM, 512MiB video RAM). A patch that helps mitigate the problem for me: http://www.startux.de/index.php/articles/51-wine-patch-to-use-3gb-userspaceyvComment51 The patch itself may not work (old), but modifying the code or making your own patch does.
