World of Warcraft No Window/Sound At Launch

[Darkpyro2]

Hey!

I'm trying to launch World of Warcraft through the Battle.net launcher. Whenever I launch it, it opens the window but the window is essentially blank. It's not black, it's just a copy of whatever image was on my screen at the time that I launched it. I have to run wineserver -k to close it.

I've tried:

Installing it in both 32-bit and 64-bit prefixes

Running it directly from wow.exe

Forcing open GL both through an entry to Wow's Config.wtf, and through the command line parameter -opengl in battle.net.

None of these has fixed the issue.

I'm running the latest version of the winehq-devel branch.

Hey!

I wanted to add some more context to the problem seeing as I haven't had a reply in a couple of days. Here's my console output:

@Darkpyro2,

You can't use winehq-devel for Battle.net based games... You have to use winehq-staging.

The WOW opengl renderer is broken. You probably need to use the DX11 renderer with DXVK (and perhaps DXUP)...
E.g. see DXVK: World of Warcraft has graphic glitches. #343

Either that or a patched version of Wine Staging, with the PBA patchset.

I think the Lutris: Games / World of Warcraft install script would support setting this up for you automatically(ish)... Using the PBA patchset.

Lutris is available in a repository for the main Linux distributions...
