World of Warcraft closes in character creation.

Post by ThatOneDude »

Title basically says it all. I've installed WoW Mists of Pandaria through wine and pol on Linux Mint Petra 64, the game works fine logging in but once I get to the character creation screen [which is completely functional] I seem to be on a 3-5 second timer before the game just auto-closes itself. No error message, the window just closes.

Any ideas what it could be? I don't know too much about Linux, terminal commands, and the likes [that's why I installed babys first linux and am trying to force myself to learn things] so bare with me if I don't understand exactly what you're talking about right away, but I'll gladly try any and all advice.

Thanks for taking the time to read, and thanks in advance for anyone who can help.

Wine version? If it's not the latest development release, upgrade.

What graphics card/driver do you have? I did find one bug report for a crash on character creation, but it's a bug in the fglrx graphics driver, not Wine. http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30463

I believe my WINE version is the latest stable but I'll double check after this post. Graphics card is the [AMD/ATI] Radeon HD 4670 and I'm double checking their site for updates as we speak.
