World of Warcraft with OpenGL

Hmm...

I just can't get WOW working with OpenGL mode. Whenever i start the game i'll get this kind of output :

wine .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/World\ of\ Warcraft/WoW.exe -opengl

Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".

fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 113 (SPI_SETMOUSESPEED)
err:wgl:ConvertPixelFormatWGLtoGLX invalid iPixelFormat 0

At this point it waits few minutes and then i get WoW error and rest of lines

Unhandled exception: page fault on execute access to 0x00000000 in 32-bit code (0x00000000).

I have found that someone have solved the problem, but didn't want to share it with others :
http://appdb.winehq.org/commentview.php … adId=17321

It says something about display refresh rates, but i don't have any clue what to try there.

WoW starts fine in Direct3D mode, but the FPS is too low for playing.

I'm running Arch64 with AMD3500+, 1Gb RAM, 7600GS 256

Re: World of Warcraft with OpenGL

You probably need to install the correct lib32-libgl package. Per default bin32-wine from community pulls lib32-fglrx which might not be the right one for you. With nvidia make sure you install the correct version of lib32-nvidia-utils.

I can tell, that I had the same problem, and replacing lib32-fglrx with lib32-nvidia-util did the trick (I got nVidia gfx)

Re: World of Warcraft with OpenGL

This fixed the problem for me too.  WoW inside 32bit wine inside 64bit linux... What has the world come to!
