(Warcraft) Wow.exe segfault xubuntu hardy on Wine 0.9.61

[dave_23]

Hello all

Getting a segfault when I try to start wow.exe
The launcher.exe works fine, but when it tries to start wow.exe it fails.

Code: Select all

dmk@hermes:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/World of Warcraft$ wine Wow.exe -opengl
Segmentation fault
dmk@hermes:~$ wine --version
wine-0.9.61

This is a fresh install of xubuntu and wine, i'm not all that ubuntu savvy, so i could be missing some obvious stuff.

Athlon64
xubuntu 8.04 (2.6.24-16-generic)
nVidia 8800GTS (x86_64-169.12 driver)

did a WINEDEBUG=trace+all
here's where i think the problem is :
(something to do with opengl)

Code: Select all

By a looks of it you have wrong libGL library. Most likely it's still Mesa one not from nvidia. You should get the same result (crash) if you run 'glxgears'.

Hello!

Thanks for the reply - glxgears is working.

Thanks!

[dave_23]

Well, I tried rolling my own wine with the instructions from
http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit

No dice on that either. nothing errored in the compile, wow just doesn't like it.
(segfault still)

Has anyone had a problem with copying wow from their windows partition? (because that's how i did it..)

Any other ideas?

Thanks!

Did you try switching off Compiz before running the game ?
Did you try the DirectX mode ?

[dave_23]

I actually don't use compiz, just vanilla xfce

I'll give the directx a try.. i didn't before because everything i've read says to disable it and use opengl

Sorry, my bad, though I read kubuntu...
From what I have read it seems that directx run. Seems to be slow but usable.
I think it might be worth a try.

[dave_23]

solution for this was to install the latest beta nvidia drives 173.08
