--- Comment #118 from Sam Fourman Jr. sfourman@gmail.com 2010-06-30 10:38:47 --- I use FreeBSD 8.1 amd64 As of this morning World of Warcraft 3.3.5a still crashes right after login.
Alexander said this in a earlier comment:
WoW uses opcode 0xf1 (icebp) and expects to see a single step exception, probably as a way to detect hardware debuggers. With the kernel change icebp is no longer raising a SIGTRAP since it doesn't set any dr6 bits, so WoW doesn't get its exception.
I have been playing World of Warcraft on FreeBSD amd64 since December of 2009 using the beta Nvidia 64bit drivers and this wine how-to
http://wiki.freebsd.org/Wine#head-6963d527c173e57b1567e881305b544d33435b6d
I can verify that on PCBSD 8.1 RC1 32bit World of Warcraft works post 3.3.5 so far as I can tell it is only broken on amd64.
I posted this problem to the FreeBSD hackers mailing list, and someone quickly replied, that the icebp single step exception works on FreeBSD 8 stable does anyone have any ideas as to why, FreeBSD amd64 crashes and i386 does not?
icebp generates the SIGTRAP on latest 8-stable, verified by the following trivival assembler program: .text .globl main main: .byte 0xf1 xorl %edi,%edi call exit
Thank you for your help
