--- Comment #75 from Jase Whipp jason.whipp@gmail.com 2010-06-25 12:19:12 --- I tested under Fedora 12 with Kernel 2.6.32.14-127.fc12.x86_64 and Wine 1.2 rc 4, didn't experience a single issue. With my testing on Centos, I was able to login but the game would visually corrupt and crash (separate issue) but both systems were running kernels < 2.6.33.
There def. is a correlation, whether it's the true issue or not. In the WoW, Cedega and Cross Over forums, people seem to have roughly the same result but going to a kernel below 2.6.33.
