------- Additional Comments From spin667@mchsi.com 2006-26-10 15:51 ------- I love replying to myself, but I removed the changes I had made to the Config.wtf file. I am also not using -opengl on the command line when invoking wine.
The game will now render the in-game graphics correctly but the text is messed up. Also, my xfce panels render on top of the game, which is annoying but probably fixable.
I tried deleting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wine\OpenGL\DisabledExtensions and running the game. Also, I tried setting it to GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object and GL_ARB_vertex_program. None of the above affected the rendered text. I didn't think these would make a difference as they probably don't come into play if you aren't using OpenGL in WoW.
To sum up: OpenGL enabled: no 3d graphics, horrible flickering DirectX: indecipherable text
Although WoW was clearing detecting the changed DisabledExtensions settings (as it would tell me my gfx hardware had changed and ask to reset to the defaults (which I did)) they didn't seem to make a lick of difference.
