More Wine and WOW problems

[wowsushi]

I am trying to install wow on ubuntu 9.04x64.
I have installed wine 1.1.23 and have succesfully downloaded and pached wow all the way to the current patch level.
I can start the wow launcher, but when i hit PLAY or start WoW.exe through Wine WOW crashes.
The program never really starts since it has not produced a config.wtf file.

My log from wine looks like this:
Wine WoW.exe -opengl

The wow log says:
This application has encountered a critical error:

ERROR #132 (0x85100084) Fatal Exception
Program: C:\Programmer\World of Warcraft\WoW.exe
Exception: 0xC0000005 (ACCESS_VIOLATION) at 0023:7CD9396A

The instruction at "0x7CD9396A" referenced memory at "0x00000018".
The memory could not be "read".

Can anyone tell me what the problem seems to be, and how to fix it?

Are you running the game off an NTFS partition?

[wowsushi]

No, i'm running it off an ext3 partition which also contains my Ubuntu distribution.
I have tried creating a Config.wtf file, but that didn't help.

i had the same problem this mornin with wow and found this forum http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1005225

all you have to do is open the wow directory browse to the WTF folder open the config.wtf file with a text editor and add

Code: Select all

SET gxApi "opengl"

at the bottom
save the text file and bob is your uncle

i don't think this will work for everyone as i understand it has to do with you type graphics card (i have a Nvidia 8800GTX )

GL and freeware FTW!!
