Blizzard game bug

tparker · Post by **tparker** » Tue Jun 22, 2010 1:09 pm

The bug listed for StarCraft2 at
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21809 applies to several Blizzard
games, including the version of World of Warcraft that hit the live
servers this morning.

The latest posting I see on the bug report page was made sixteen days
ago and the bug is not listed as fixed or closed. Does anyone know what,
if any, version of Wine includes the fix for this issue? Posts are
starting to come through from WoW gamers on several forums as the
servers come up and they can't log in. I have directed a few people to
the bug page, but I'd like to be able to share more useful information
as well as be able to log into my own account.

Thank you.

I can confirm this bug. 3.3.5 patch come up this morning and now I can't log in.
You start wow, put user and password and when you hit enter the game crashes.
I've read in many sites that downloading wldap32.dll and setting to native makes the game work, but no luck for me.
I'm runing Wine 1.2-rc4 on Fedora 13.

I saw this in the thread about this problem on ptr, but haven't been
able to test it on my computer. Is wldap32.dll a file from an older
version of Windows? I have searched for it on machines we have running
windows7 and vista and neither box seems to have the file.

The WoW servers are finally coming back up for people to be able to
start testing work arounds on this bug on the live servers, but I'm not
even getting error messages in the terminal when it locks up.

In my quest to get Wow running again I found a pattern.... I noticed mainly people that are running Fedora and Gentoo are having this issue. I found no posts from Ubuntu or OpenSuse complaining about this issue.

My theory is this new version of wow doesn't in newer kernels.

My main machine is running Fedora 13 (2.6.33.5-124 kernel). It doesn't seem to mater if I use wine from the repo or build it from git. I have even tried the StarCraft II patch for wine.
Wow crashed on login screen.

Second machine OpenSuse 11.2 (2.6.31 kernel) with repo provided wine. Wow works just fine.

Third machine Fedora 12 (2.6.32.11-99 kernel) with repo provided wine. Wow Works fine.
