WoW low framerate.

Orland · Post by **Orland** » Fri Jun 13, 2008 6:46 am

Greetings to everyone. I understand that this problem may discussed many times, and i searched through forums but nothing solved my problem. In windows game runs perfectly with max details at 1680x1050. And i have something about ~50 FPS. But in Linux with same options i have ~18. I don't know why is that, when i'm trying to use native dll's in Wine config game won't startup. I have P4 2.4GHZ/1GB RAM/GeForce 6800GT running Fedora 9 with latest drivers. Wine version is 1.0RC4.
Any help will be approciated, thanks.

Are you using the nvidia binary drivers or the slow nv driver that
comes with x11?

Have you set WoW to run in OpenGL mode?

I'm not using none of the Beryl/XGL/Compiz. When i turned 16bit, picture decreased in quality but no performance gain at all. The same as before.

Did you try the registry tweak?

Yes, i tried before, but then my game crushes with error "Your videocard isn't supported" or something like this. I think i try to reinstall my WINE.
ADDED Reinstalled, have use tweak and game run normal. But there appears another problem, sound stop working. Set in winecfg "oss" driver but no result. I have SBLive! 5.1 soundcard, any suggestions about this ?

With newer versions of Wine I've had better results with ALSA. There are lots of guides out there that recommend OSS, but that suggestion may be out of date.

Also try disabling the in game voice chat feature. Its buggy and sometimes disabling it fixes things, even on Windows. I know some Windows users who have even gained some FPS by turning it off.

So the sound (or voice chat) was causing this?

I just turned it to ALSA and shutted off Voice chat.

I'm glad there is something new on this subject. I am using Ubuntu Hardy and
am having the exact same problem with the framerates. I have done the
registry tweak and everything else I could find. The funny thing is my
framerates are lower than they were on Win XP, but my latency is about half,
or more, of what it was. I am also using a SB Audigy and am using Alsa.
Everything works perfectly except for the framerates. I would love to know
how I can change that.
