wow error

otacon · 2008-07-06 05:31:46

Ok I am trying to run World of Warcraft on linux with my Macbook.

The problem is that when I start up World of warcraft the FPS are slow.
An error comes up when loading wow
this:
[otacon@arch World of Warcraft]$ wine Wow.exe
libGL error: open DRM failed (Operation not permitted)
libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering

fixme:wininet:InternetSetOptionW Option INTERNET_OPTION_CONNECT_TIMEOUT (5000): STUB

the error is in the second and third line ( a problem with LibGL) so it switches my rendering to a lower setting.

Is there any way to fix this?

Also to help with the FPS I follow a guide to make this:

#!/bin/sh

export WOW_PATH=~/".wine/drive_c/Program Files/World of Warcraft" # Installation path

X :3 -ac -terminate & # Launch on a new X session on display 3
cd "${WOW_PATH}" # Goto WoW dir
sleep 2
DISPLAY=:3 `which wine` Wow.exe -opengl # Launches WoW

It is a file to start wow in a new xorg that I guess makes wow run better, but this is not a file specifically for Arch so I was wondering if you guys could help me figure our what i need to change. When I use this as-is it will start the new xorg but will not start wow. also if you know of a way for me to exit this xorg I would appreciate it since ctrl alt delete doesn't work since the file auto restart the xorg again.

This fix never did anything performance wise for me when I used to play WoW. I honestly wouldn't bother with it. Just run wine from the regular window.

This is the guide that I followed when I installed WoW with wine: http://www.wowwiki.com/Linux/Wine <--- Found with a google search for "wine wow".

Make sure you follow all of the steps necessary, including the registry hacks. They really do make the difference.

Moving to "Multimedia and Games", it's more likely to get more responses.

Not sure what video card your Macbook has, but open-source radeon driver is not capable of providing direct rendering on multiple X sessions, fglrx though can, if its an Nvidia or Intel chipset you need to check for yourself.
Run

startx -- :1

in a terminal then in the new X session run

glxinfo | grep direct

to check.

I am running an Intel GMA 950 GPU.
when I use the code glxinfo | grep direct I get the same error:

[otacon@arch ~]$ glxinfo | grep direct
libGL error: open DRM failed (Operation not permitted)
libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering
direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)

The Thing is that I checked this before I started installing WoW and it use to say something like
direct rendering=yes

so I am wondering why it has changed.

I put in the code Libgl_debug=verbose but that doesn't seem to do anything.

Just curious: did you try following the steps I posted in my link?

And with Integrated Video your not going to have the most pleasant/smooth running video for games.

Try this. It woked for me.
Previously I got Operation not permitted error while running glxgears. after this it is fine.

http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/DriTrou … 631482482d

If you get:

libGL error: failed to open DRM: Operation not permitted
libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering

then you are trying to run as a user that doesn't have permission to use the DRI (root is the default allowed user). To let all users access the DRI, add the following section to your xorg.conf:

Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
