Wow crach.. I use bumblebee to activate nvidia optimus

Post by snarus »

i installed bumblebee to be able to use the nvidia geforce 310m via optimus.
https://github.com/MrMEEE/bumblebee

When I try to run wow thus: optirun /usr/bin/wine Launcher.exe -opengl

I get this message:

[mb@h45n1-t-a11 World of Warcraft]$ optirun /usr/bin/wine Launcher.exe
fixme:process:GetLogicalProcessorInformation (0x32e504,0x32eb04): stub
X Error of failed request: BadPixmap (invalid Pixmap parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 54 (X_FreePixmap)
Resource id in failed request: 0x4e000eb
Serial number of failed request: 1026
Current serial number in output stream: 1041

Does someone know what to do?

"When I try to run wow thus: optirun /usr/bin/wine Launcher.exe -opengl"

Try adding 32 after the optirun.

"optirun32 /usr/bin/wine Launcher.exe -opengl"

I'm also using bumblebee and it seems to work with my m11x r2 but I'm not getting the same framerates I do when I'm running WoW under win7.

Ubuntu 11.04, wine 1.2.2, latest bumblebee 1.6.26 = wow in opengl 20~25FPS

windows7 = wow in directx11 50~60FPS

Both settings are set the same.

I also struggled with this, but finally got it to work. I had to skip the -opengl opion and only run it as

optirun wine Wow*exe

No problems and no cashes during install.

Somebody also hinted setting operating system to Windows7 in winecfg. Other hints were to download the corefonts and ie8 with winetricks, and, ofc, you also need wine_gecko from you own distro, otherwise wine will complain or suggest you install it during wine setup.

After installing, the game crashed and failed to run, if I added 'SET gxApi "opengl"- to the WTF folder in WoW. I guess it is coz optirun is not linked to wine in somw way. Wine apparently only sees the intel graphics, in my case, i915.
