Wine and World of Warcraft errors

[joshka89]

I've followed guides to properly config and install both Wine and World of Warcraft on Fedora.

The problem I get is that if i don't use Emulate Desktop and run the game, my mouse disappears and the computer freezes without ever really starting WoW.

Then someone suggested to Emulate Desktop so that it wont kill my whole system, just the emulation.

I start the game with the terminal

# wine WoW.exe -opengl

i get this readout from the terminal

[Joshka@Joshka-Laptop World of Warcraft]$ wine WoW.exe -opengl

then the starting screen comes up. I can't see any buttons, only their text, I can't see any cursor, and there is no background image, only fog on the ground and some blue thing flying around.



i could use some help. I really dont know what the problem is and the only support i can really find is for Ubuntu and I don't really want to have to switch to that.

Hi

first of all please post what version of wine you are using and browse winehq.org for WoW how to's.

I'm pretty sure your problem is related to the OffscreenRenderingMode settings.

open wine registry editor,

go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Wine

look for a key 'Direct3D'

If there is none create it and create a new string value within Direct3D:

'OffscreenRenderingMode' and set the value to 'backbuffer'. If it doesnt work set it to 'fbo' and try again.

See here for further instructions: http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys

Once you have set the correct resolution in the game (usually your native screen resolution) you wont need the virtual desktop emulation.
