World of warcraft will not start
World of warcraft will not start
Wine version: wine-5.12 (Staging)
OS: Pop!_OS 20.04 LTS x86_64
Logs from running wow launcher.exe, opening battle net and trying to start the game https://pastebin.com/J4ckt1kn
After clicking play now, I'm seeing something went wrong (as in attached file)
I'm not sure how to proceed from here and would appreciate some help.
Thank you!

00b0:err:winediag:SECUR32_initNTLMSP ntlm_auth was not found or is outdated. Make sure that ntlm_auth >= 3.0.25 is in your path. Usually, you can find it in the winbind package of your distribution.
Re: World of warcraft will not start
Installed winbind so that error is gone from logs, the game now crashes with just a fatal error.
Here's new logs

Re: World of warcraft will not start
Two things you can try:
If your GPU can handle Vulkan, try
Use wine start /unix when you start the gameCode: Select all
wine Games/world-of-warcraft/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/World\ of\ Warcraft/World\ of\ Warcraft\ Launcher.exe
Code: Select all
wine start /unix Games/world-of-warcraft/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/World\ of\ Warcraft/World\ of\ Warcraft\ Launcher.exe
Code: Select all
winetricks dxvk

Also don't forget to use the correct WINEPREFIX. This must be a full path. So there must be something in place of {...}Use wine start /unix when you start the gameCode: Select all
wine start /unix Games/world-of-warcraft/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/World\ of\ Warcraft/World\ of\ Warcraft\ Launcher.exe
Code: Select all
WINEPREFIX={...}/Games/world-of-warcraft/ wine start /unix Games/world-of-warcraft/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/World\ of\ Warcraft/World\ of\ Warcraft\ Launcher.exe
Re: World of warcraft will not start
Unfortunately getting similar results with the suggestions you've provided, the game still will not load
Tried winetricks dxvk as well before this run

Do note that I've managed to start the game using Lutris' version of wine and that works okay but the performance is sort of lackluster. Still no luck with wine staging.

Re: World of warcraft will not start
I currently run Wow using wine-staging 5.6 + dxvk 1.7 on Arch. All newer versions of wine are problematical currently.
I suggest you downgrade to wine-staging 5.6 and create a new WINEPREFIX with dxvk added.
For PopOS, I think you will need to get the 5.6 version using aptitude?
Using nvidia drivers version 440.82 currently.

Re: World of warcraft will not start
Same here (Arch Linux + nVidia + dxvk), except that I found Wine Staging 5.9 to still work with WoW. Anything after that will give me the black window and "application not responding". No clue what changed, but for the time being I excluded wine-staging from any upgrades.

Depending on hardware in use, i do not know what you consider "lackluster" when it comes to performance.hg_hel wrote: ↑Fri Jul 10, 2020 6:02 am Unfortunately getting similar results with the suggestions you've provided, the game still will not load

In the case of DXVK running dx11 on a RTX2070 card, i get between 70-90 fps in Boralus with most settings at max (Shadows is set to "good"... Set the slider to 10, and change shadows to "good").

Re: World of warcraft will not start
Good news: WoW seems to work again on Wine Staging 5.15!
