--- Comment #2 from mikahbot@gmail.com 2011-06-29 17:13:44 CDT --- I am having the same issue here. I just recently downloaded patch 4.2 for Firelands from WoW, and now it hangs after I hit the 'launch' button on the Launcher. I tried the same thing. I blew away my original WoW installation and created a new prefix for it, and still the same issue.
If it helps, I'm running wine version 1.3.23.
It feels as if the World of Warcraft.lnk is broken, and so is Launcher.exe. The repair tool does nothing for this. Was working perfectly fine before the new patch. I can blow away the prefix away and reinstall, but I don't think that's going to fix the issue.
