There is a way to play WoW without compiling your own wine version or using a patch. I've downloaded and installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/confirmation.aspx?familyId=200b2fd9-ae...
After installing login to WoW works fine without installing winetricks (which got that fixed in package vcrun2005) or using a patch.
I found that hint in the WoW forums: http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=11824663929&sid=1
I tried this and I get the same crash. I can't help but notice your European address and reference to European forums. Someone pointed out that European servers haven't received the 3.3.5 patch with RealID yet, and that seems to be what's breaking Linux-Wine-WoW on the US side. At least one person (handle: Rhael) has reported success on the US servers, though I've no idea what he is doing different than the rest of the population here that is experiencing the crashes. Wow-forum thread here: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=25552675524&sid=1&page... and he (Rhael) also left a note on the other WineHQ bug (23323) reporting that his setup is working. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
