World of Warcraft: no play since launcher change/updated

[fakemoth]

Hello, anyone being able to play WoW since the latest update? I mean the one that changed the launcher with new battlenet stuff?

If I use the "launcher" it throws an (unknown) error with the only option to send it to Blizzard, maybe sometimes launches the game but no sound. If I run the game directly, I get sound but the game freezes during character opting. Version of the game is now 5.4.8.18414 .

Later edit: got already another update (for the launcher), I have the pandaren background. The launcher now crashes by himself or after clicking the Play button. Also almost all of the buttons don't work.

Here is the Playonlinux logfile http://pastebin.com/K0Wcz4VW

PlayOnLinux is not supported here, and your Wine version is old. Retest in the latest development release of plain Wine.

Code: Select all

err:winediag:SECUR32_initNTLMSP ntlm_auth was not found or is outdated. Make sure that ntlm_auth >= 3.0.25 is in your path. Usually, you can find it in the winbind package of your distribution

You also need to fix that.

Thanks man, that solved it. It' not like playonlinux is something else; just a GUI for managing wine stuff. Got also the latest Wine.

POL has scripts that install patched and/or obsolete versions of Wine as well as unnecessary native dlls. No one here is going to waste time trying to sort out that mess, which is why we insist people who have used POL retest in a clean wineprefix using plain Wine. Often, that is enough to solve the problem.
