Summary: World of Warcraft regular crashes using NVidia Geforce 9600 GT Product: Wine Version: 1.1.0 Platform: PC-x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: vallidor@gangrenegang.com
Created an attachment (id=14709) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=14709) Terse output of wine.
Frequent in-game crashes with no criteria required to reproduce other than logging into the game and "standing around".
The only required factor is patience. The first crash typically occurs 30-minutes into a session, with the second 15-20 minutes after restarting, with gradually increasing frequency.
Eventually, crashes will occur within seconds or minutes of each other, and by this threshold frequently cause the X server to crash.
I have tested various NVidia driver versions, and two AMD64 systems with the same video card on two different distributions (Ubuntu Gutsy/Hardy x86_64 hybrid, and Sabayon 3.5 x86_64 fresh) as well as older versions of wine (0.9.6 and up) up to and including 1.1.0.
Although I suspect this is an NVidia driver issue related to this card, I have read similar reports of World of Warcraft itself crashing on the Win32 platform with newer generation hardware as well, and as such am reporting this bug to Nvidia, Wine, and Blizzard.
Attached is the wine output in text format.
When crashing, a memory violation error window is displayed as well as the Blizzard bug report feedback window.
