Problems running WoW

[Mindez]

Heya,

I'm new to all things linux and wine, so forgive my noobiness.

I've installed World of Warcraft in wine by extracting the cds to the same directory and ran install.exe; that ran fine besides an error at the end saying that it couldn't add WOW to my add/remove programs.

When I try to run it however from ~/.wine/drive_c/wow/WoW.exe I get the following:

Code: Select all

[root@localhost wow]# wine WoW.exe
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 155 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 3 (X_GLXCreateContext)
Value in failed request: 0x21
Serial number of failed request: 440
Current serial number in output stream: 440

No idea what any of this means, but the program doesn't open, and no idea what to do next. (I also can't find the guide I followed to install wine and WoW, bah)[/code]

Code: Select all

[root@localhost wow]# wine WoW.exe

Never run Wine as root. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-96bebfa ... 78b0d41014
