Problems with starting World of Warcraft under Ubuntu 10.04

[b4mbi]

Hey everyone,

I recently had to reset my whole computer and I thought, I can finally get rid of Windows and just use Ubuntu.
But now, I have problems starting World of Warcraft under Wine, which should actually work fine!
I have rendering activated, but when I start WOW with this:

Code: Select all

:~/Wine/World of Warcraft$ wine Wow.exe -opengl

I get the error:

Code: Select all

err:module:attach_process_dlls "opengl32.dll" failed to initialize, aborting
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"D:\\World of Warcraft\\Wow.exe" failed, status c0000005

Any ideas? thanks in advance!

Linux Distribution, bitness (32/64) and version (name or number)
Video card and driver version

From an initial look it appears that you have a 64 bit Ubuntu
installation, 32 bit wine and did not install the 32 bit video drivers.
This is based upon other times that this has been found.

Ok, I solved it myself, everything was alright but the settings of my xorg.conf
just had to change the driver-settings to fglrx, now it works just fine!
thanks anyway for the quick reply!
