Summary: World of Warcraft: Memory leak on new login screen, X crashing Product: Wine Version: 1.1.7 Platform: PC-x86-64 URL: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: opengl AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: adys.wh+winehqdotorg@gmail.com
Commonly reported behaviour from other wine users. Does not happen under Windows.
The new Wrath of the Lich King login screen suffers from extreme performance problems. Apart from it being slower than the old one, it also gets slower on every WoW reboot. Using another WINEPREFIX does not fix the problem. Killing all wine and related processes does not fix the problem either. Restarting X is the only way to work this around.
After 5-6 reboots, WoW does not start and X instantly crashes. 100% reproducible.
Using OpenGL engine, changing various settings in Config.wtf does not seem to have any effect.
