I guess I picked a terrible day to turn my WoW account back on, having abandoned all Windows machines in my house many months ago. :) Looks like 3.3.5 just got released today so as of now WoW is unplayable on Linux without the legwork of grabbing the latest source & patch here and rolling your own wine.
I'm downloading wine from GIT and will install all the development libraries to try to get the latest patch in this thread working for me, but hopefully a fix is imminent in the current repositories so that downstream distributions can pick up the change and distribute via their package management tools to solve this problem. Thanks for your help with this.
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
