World of Warcraft DirectX/Driver problem - AMD RadeonHD 6310

[rogue_mouser]

I've searched for a solution to this, but every page I look at stops at "reinstall your drivers." I've tried that, and it hasn't helped.

I've downloaded, installed and patched World of Warcraft. But when I click Play, I get a dialog saying that WoW requires the latest Direct X to run. Using winetricks, I installed d3dx11_43, but that didn't fix it. So, following the advice I mentioned earlier, I installed the proprietary AMD drivers, using the Catalyst install script from AMD's support site. That hasn't helped the problem.

I'm running Linux MInt Debian Edition with the Mate desktop on a 64 bit HP 2000-416dx laptop, which comes with the AMD Radeon HD 6310 video card. My wife plays WoW on her identical system, except that she's running the standard edition of Linux Mint. Also, I've compiled 32 bit Wine 1.6 on my system (which was an interesting adventure on its own), while she's using the Wine version from the Linux Mint/Ubuntu repositories.

Another suggestion I saw was to set the renderer to opengl in xorg.conf. I don't know how to write such a thing into xorg.conf, and while I don't mind breaking my system if I can learn something from it, I'd really like my machine to just work for a while.

What else can I do ot try to get WoW working on my computer, please?

Please upgrade to latest wine (at least 1.6) and run wine and WoW in a terminal. Post the terminal output.

If you are on 64bit linux, you may be missing the 32bit ati driver. Wine needs it. When installing the catalyst driver, there should be an option to install 32bit part of driver, too.

Popup messages from games about DirectX are often just generic error messages. AFAIK, WoW doesn't require DX11.

According to the most recent test report in the AppDB the place to set the renderer is in /World of Warcraft/WTF/Config.wtf. http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... &iId=28228
