WoW Worked Once, Now it Don't I'm Stumped

[cryptoboats]

Before we start, I am new to Linux, so please be gentle. I only got as far as I did due to google and this website.

I installed World of Warcraft using Wine. After 2 days of troubleshooting and fixing driver issues, I was able to log in last night and the game ran flawlessly. I logged out, installed all of my normal addons logged back in and they all worked. I played for about an hour and logged out....logged in one more time so I could giggle about getting the game finally work, then logged out and went to bed.

This morning I tried to log in and got this error:

Code: Select all

err:seh:raise_exception Unhandled exception code c0000005 flags 0 addr 0x6800cdb4

I am logging in via the terminal by going to the World of Warcraft folder and using the command wine Wow.exe.

This morning, I tried to log in by staying in my home directory and using the command wine "C:\\Program Files\\World of Warcraft\\Wow.exe"
That is the first time I got the error. I assumed that I couldn't use wine like that, so I navigated to the World of Warcraft folder and used wine Wow.exe like what worked last night and got the error again.

Google isn't being much help this time...

Thanks

Congrats on logging in the first time, would you care to share some more information about your setup and how you launch wow? what version of wine do you use? 'wine --version' what type of

Typically you will want to use "wine wow.exe -opengl" to force it into starting with opengl mode, d3d works, sometimes, but opengl is less buggy and faster..

Thanks for the response zigstat. It was the latest version of wine. I logged in using wine wow.exe with no problem. After I couldn't get it to run again, I googled and found wine wow.exe -opengl and tried that and it still wouldn't run, same error code.

Anyway, since posting this, I have re-formatted my computer. I was running Fedora 16, but I have been told to use CentOS instead since I am trying to get ready for RHCE training.

I will dual boot Windows and CentOS and run WoW in windows for a couple of months while I learn Linux instead of diving in head first.

Expect that I will be back with other issues once I get CentOS installed later today
