Yea the Launcher is finicky, sometimes it works (I mean works as in launches
wow.exe after hitting play) and sometimes it doesn't.  Just do a
WINEPREFIX="/path/to/wine/wowprefix" wine /path/to/WoW/Wow.exe

Works perfectly fine.  I even have a script because  of the double walking
bug (ie gnome or ubuntu send multiple key presses when holding down a button
or something, I don't remember specifics, just how to fix it) and to delete
my cache for NPCSCAN:

 ! /bin/bash

xset -r 25
xset -r 24
xset -r 39
xset -r 26

rm -r /home/<user>/Programs/WoW/Cache/

WINEPREFIX="/home/<user>/.wineWow" wine
/home/<user>/Programs/WoW/Wow.exe

xset r 25
xset r 24
xset r 39

that didnt work. i used wine tricks to download the trial version of wow and it
didnt put it in a normal spot ,the path was
 file system\proc\1552\fd\3\drive_c\program files\world of warcraft\wow.exe
so i loaded it up with graphic settings on low and it works fine....frame rate
is good...no problems with graphical glitches....everything except for the
water.....no idea how to fix this...wow 3.3 with wine 1.3.15 got a platinum
rating

home directory is normal....another odd thing i found was the installation moves
randomly. it will be File System\proc\1552\ect. on one launch....then when i try
to launch it again i get a 'file not' found so i have to manually track
it down to launch it

so the trick to installing warcraft is to not use winetricks....after three
installs it kept going under proc\ect....i went to the site and got the setup
file and ran it using wine 1.3.27 and now its in the right spot (finally) it is
downloading the 10 gigs or so now for the update. as for my wine issues when i
updated from 1.3.15 to 1.3.27 the terminal gave me a warning there was binary
left from 1.0 so i completely uninstalled everything tracked down a straggler
file that was messing with the installs.....(wine-gecko?)and had to
reinstall.....from what i can tell everything is preforming properly and in its
right spot now....now i just have to wait to test for the water issue and if its
still there i give up....thanks for the help all


ubuntu 11.04

crashes...in advanced graphics options it only gives me a DirectX9 option =\
