WoW Play Button Not Working - Fix for Linux/Wine??

Post by tashizzlet »

So this issue is quite common now in WoW launchers from all operating systems, and it's gone and happened to mine. When I open the shortcut on my desktop, the client opens, and when I click on the 'play' button, it closes and nothing comes up. I've read everywhere that if you start it from the WoW.exe link in World of Warcraft folder, it'll automatically open, but when I click on it, it just tries to open, then closes. There's a list of things you can try to make it work again posted on the site, but they're suggestions for Windows. I've tried all of the ones I could do, but nothing's worked yet. If anyone else has this problem, and is using Ubuntu, please let me know if you have any fixes that work. Thanks! :D

Try starting the game from wow.exe using the command line. That should
give you some errors that you can post here so we can try to help you
find the problem.

That first part is what the problem is. It looks like you are using the
open source driver for your video card and you need to change that to
the proprietary driver. The open source ones can't handle some of the 3d
games.
