BUT I forgot about the Launcher problem and to add the -opengl line. I tried this with my last Ubuntu install, I think it was Karmic, and it didn't work. I have used my main directory and dragged it over to my laptop, desktop, and work laptop and played WoW flawlessly on all these machines. you don't have to "install" WoW every time to change to a new machine. EXE from inside that directory? This works in windows. Could I simply copy the entire directory over from my windows box to my Ubuntu box and run the. All my other machine in the house are Ubuntu machines. I overright this often with the latest version from my Windows box, which is normally where I play WoW, and it is the only thing I do on this box. I keep a "live" backup of my working WoW directory on my file server at home. I tried and tried an tried then understood that its not gonna happen. Glxgears says about 6000fps for its rotating cube (I disabled vertical sync in CCC), I also tried to run with vsync is on, but nothing changed in WoW and glxgears show slowly rotating cube and report about 60fps and thats all.Ĭan anybody help me? I don't want to keep Win7 onboard just for games. Wine version is 1.2, ati driver version is 10.8. None of that things didn't help and fps still sucks. turned off Compiz (no desktop effects, right?) modified Config.wtf for no glow, specials etc. run WoW without -opengl flag (in directx mode) So, OpenGL is a bit faster than D3D for WoW-Wine, but anyway - this fps is very uncomfortable. Win7 D3D: 60fps indoors, 40+fps outdoors and in raid. Ubuntu D3D: 25fps indoors, 6-10fps outdoors and in raid. Ubuntu OpenGL: 50fps indoors, 10-15fps outdoors and in raid.

With the WotLK reinstall, and all patches, it generally takes about 1-2 hours, most of the wait is the first install, and installing the first big patch. This is by no means the only way to do things, but it seems to work for me. That way, I have a working copy to exchange for a borked WoW. wine folder on a separate drive, just in case. If all is working PERFECT, then I make a copy of the. Mine works fine for now (Probably until the next patch). If not, change the command you edited before to use Wow.exe, instead of Launcher.exe. (I do this so my WTF config can go from my Linux install to my Windows 7 install without any editing) I copy my menu launch icon to the panel,then edit the launcher for WoW and append '-opengl' at the end of the command. When all the patches are done, THEN you can let it download whatever it needs (Tools, etc) And kill WoW it if it tries to download patches.
