Wine 1.1.20 broke my WoW

So I made another major system update and as usual something broke in my system. Thank god it wasn't Xorg or KDE itself, those would be really bad.
Unfortunely tho it broke WoW on wine. Now wine takes ages to load the launcher that has graphic glitches then takes ages^10 to load the loading screen where I finally noticed it LAGS terribly by watching what seemed like 1 FPS dragon animation. sad
I tried Peggle on wine to see if it was nvidia problem maybe but worked fine so I guess it's a wine issue? Does anyone have the same problem or know how to fix this?

Thanks

Downgrade with ABS.

Wine upgrades often break stuff.

How does downgrading work? I've installed ABS, choosen the repos in abs,conf and run abs as root.

Re: Wine 1.1.20 broke my WoW

You need to edit the PKGBUILD for wine which is located in /var/abs/extra/wine/ if I remember correctly.

Edit the version number to an earlier version. Delete the contents of Md5sum. Run makepkg as root in the above directory. When build install with pacman -U.

Better yet:
- go to a directory of your choice for the wine source code folder (you need write permissions)
- cp -r /var/abs/extra/wine .
- cd wine
- change $pkgver to a version you would like.
- delete the md5sums line(s).
- save
- run makepkg
- become superuser
- pacman -U wine*pkg.tar.gz
- quit being the superuser

Re: Wine 1.1.20 broke my WoW

Thanks guys but its incredibly slow to compile the package sad
However that reminded me I could downgrade to a package in cache so I downgraded to wine 1.1.18 (the last one I used) and the issue persisted so I figured it was nvidia drivers issue and tried to downgraded it but can't because it requires a downgrade of the kernel as well.
So I think it can also be an issue with the kernel? I really did a major upgrade today (1GB download 2GB installed) so it can be anything :\

You can downgrade to any package with abs. If I were you, I'd check out the nvidia-beta package on AUR and try that one.

Re: Wine 1.1.20 broke my WoW

So funny, wine 1.1.20 broke your WOW! tongue LOL

Now seriously, yeah, wine often breaks from time to time, but it is bet to keep the latest release in the repos, I have always wanted to make a custom repo with at least the previous 5 builds of wine just in case, but I have never got the time/will to do it. So I just keep upgrading and sending to extra religiously.

Re: Wine 1.1.20 broke my WoW

Your symptoms seem to me to be graphics-related rather than Wine related. Have you tried `glxinfo | grep render` to see if you have direct rendering? Sometimes its hard to tell if you've lost that, if you're not using compiz or some other fancy WM....

Using nvidia-beta drivers solved the problem.
Kudos to you all smile
