------- Additional Comments From spin667@mchsi.com 2006-26-10 15:31 ------- I managed to get WoW to install and run but I get flickering visuals and no 3d graphics at all.
ubuntu 6.06 wine 0.9.23 packages from http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/ kernel 2.6.15-26-k7 (Athlon64 X2 4400) nvidia 1.0-8762 (6200TC)
The menus and interface elements all seem to render flawlessly (except for the flickering, which is over the entire screen.)
I installed WoW via the trial installer. Installed the two patches required (without using the blizzard downloader.)
I made some changes to the Config.wtf per the howto on the appdb page: SET gxApi "opengl" //forces wow to run in opengl without having to append --opengl to wow.exe SET ffxDeath "0"
I tried applying the two suggested registry settings one at a time. I also tried without this registry key first. I set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wine\OpenGL to GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object and GL_ARB_vertex_program
In the case of no registry key, and both of the above values, text always rendered correctly but there was always flickering and it never rendered and of the real game graphics (just menus, interface elements, etc.)
I haven't tried the patch to 0.9.23 that's supposed to fix this. I probably will at some point.
