Exception_Access_Violation after random time interval in World of Warcraft Classic

[Rainerw]

Hello,

I am trying to run World of Warcraft Classic on Wine 8.18 (Arch Linux). It runs fine, however, after ~5-30mins, the game crashes with an Access_Violation (Instruction at 0x00 referenced memory at 0x00. The memory could not be executed. The error is always the same.
I tried various settings/configs (with/without dxvk, fullscreen, windowed, directx11/12 from ingame settings and so on - always the same behavior. It also does not matter if I play the game actively or if I just login to the character selection screen and do nothing/just wait for the crash.
The game does NOT crash, however, if I stay at the login screen that appears right after starting the game.

I ALWAYS see three exceptions being "generated" continuously (about ~10 per second) - even if I stay at the login screen (-> when the game will NOT crash), so it seems they are not directly related to the actual crash later on:

Code: Select all

0128:err:seh:dispatch_exception unknown exception (code=c0000420) raised
0128:warn:seh:dispatch_exception EXCEPTION_BREAKPOINT exception (code=80000003) raised
0128:warn:seh:dispatch_exception EXCEPTION_ILLEGAL_INSTRUCTION exception (code=c000001d) raised

A few seconds before the game crashes, another thread already raises about 40 ACEESS_VIOLATION exceptions in a very short ammount of time:

Code: Select all

0228:warn:seh:dispatch_exception EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION exception (code=c0000005) raised

At this point, the game is still running and responsive (for a few more seconds)
Then Thread 0128 also raises an ACCESS_VIOLATION and the game crashes:

Code: Select all

0128:warn:seh:dispatch_exception EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION exception (code=c0000005) raised

Note: Unfortunately, i am unable to attach the log at the moment, will try this again after creating this thread

Any comments/ideas what might happen there?

Update: With wine version 8.0 the game seems to run fine without crashing.
