--- Comment #7 from Sean s_e_a_n@earthlink.net 2009-11-12 20:16:58 --- Here is a dirty workaround that allows me to run the game through the Launcher for now.
Start the Launcher with this bash script:
#!/bin/bash
nohup env WINEPREFIX="/home/sean/.wine" wine "C:\Games\World of Warcraft\Launcher.exe" & sleep 1 chmod 770 -v ~/.wine/drive_c/Games/World\ of\ Warcraft echo "Exiting" exit 0
You need to change the directory names to match your own, but this should set the proper permissions to your WoW folder 1 second after starting the Launcher(you may have increase this if you have a slow computer), and then exit the script. This should make the game launchable through the Launcher, and hopefully allow the installation of future patches through the launcher(hopefully the future patches fix this)
