Summary: Wine version 0.9.41 appears to be at fault for WoW.exe crash. Product: Wine Version: 0.9.41. Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: wine-misc AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: yoda2031@hotmail.com
Although this is a system hang and therefore you are likely to blame my drivers, I'm convinced wine 0.9.41 is at fault. Whenever I run World of Warcraft, before it loads the character and his portrait the system hangs. I tried copying across a WoW install from my sister's WinXP computer which works fine on hers, and I tried the WoW install that was on my PC and working fine before wine updated. Both had the same problem. It worked under wine 0.9.40, but no longer. The console output is unreachable, due to the system crashing. Another thing I tried was windowed/fullscreen mode, and neither work. I haven't tried directX mode, but I doubt it will have much affect, and even if it did the framerate in dX mode is unbearable at 0.5~5fps.
