[WoW + ATI + Hardy 8.04] Problem when enter in closed area

Post by Gabuzomeu »

Hello,

Before my problem :
  • ATI HD3850 with last ATI driver installed manually : ati-driver-installer-8-4-x86.x86_64
    Wine 0.9.61 installed with apt-get
    Ubuntu hardy 8.04 installed yesterday
I've played WoW before under linux with ATI Driver 8.2 and wine 0.9.5x without problem except the blank minimap in closed zone, only known by ATI processors. I'm playing with OpenGL on.

But now, I've a new big problem... see my cap => I can sse anything

In fact, when I enter Alterac, I'm in a cavern, so a closed zone, and the minimap is blank and.... I've this new bug... all string texts are weirds. When I go out the cavern, it's not reset... I need to "change the video screen attributes" to reset the bug... but when I enter in a closed area, the bug is back again...

Is there anything ?

Sorry I can't be of any direct help, but it sounds like the problems started when you upgraded to Hardy? Maybe there are some people at the Ubuntu forums who are experiencing the same issue, I haven't looked but it seems possible.

Your screenshot looks pretty messed up and looks like a driver issue to me, have you tried using dll overrides maybe? I don't really know what I'm talking about but some ideas that come to mind, in case they help. Good luck

edit. I just found another post a few lines down with some information about compiz and wine not playing well together, worth reading: http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=808

well, I've turned compiz off because ATI and compiz ... not playing well like you said.

Ok... ehm :@

I could reinstall Ubuntu 7.10 with new ATI driver and test ? or compil wine 0.9.5x under hardy to test ?
