Worldof. Warcraft/Troubleshooting - Community Help Wiki. Parent: Worldof. Warcraft. This article tries to address the common issues people are having with running World of Warcraft using Wine under Ubuntu. Sometimes the graphics card is just not well enough supported in the driver, and other times a driver update or reinstall solves the problem. See here https: //help. Binary. Driver. Howto/ and here http: //albertomilone. Wo. W runs especially well on Nvidia video card hardware because Nvidia has well supported drivers for Linux. Intel cards are usually not very powerful, and will not run the game very well even though the drivers are well supported. As for ATI, they have been lagging far behind in making Linux drivers for their graphics cards, and therefor ATI user may experience that Wo. W will be unstable and give bad performance or even not run at all.
World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.12.1. Players will no longer hear any sound when they have 'Enable all Sound' turned off. World of Warcraft Patches. World of Warcraft; WoW sound won't work. Every once in awhile Blizzard will release a patch or update to the game that is not compatible with all drivers for all. World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.6.0 Edit Trailer Edit 01:21. World of Warcraft Assault on Blackwing Lair Patch 1.6. Updated the Mac sound code to use memory more. Remember that Direct. X support in Wine is still in early development, but as an able alternative, Wo. W does also have full support for Open. GL, which in turn is fully supported in in most Unix- like operating systems, including Ubuntu, and World of Warcraft is one of the best supported games by Wine at the moment. Frequent blinking. Constant blinking of the gaming window can be cause by the Visual Effect (Compiz) which are set to normal in the default installation of Ubuntu. To remove it go to System - > Preferences - > Appearance then the Visual Effects tab and select None. Intel 9. 50 (and most certainly other DRI- based drivers)Intel drivers are very buggy when it comes to more sophisticated games. If you've been following the guidlines here you'd probably notice that Wo. W is completely unplayable on these exhibiting extremely low framerate and garbled screen. There is an easy way to make Wo. W fully playable on these chips. Launch winecfg and go into graphics tab; *disable* both vertex and pixel shaders. Open config. wtf and REMOVE any gx. Api entry, e. g.: SET gx. Api . Make sure other tweaks (ffx. Death, ffx. Glow) are still applied. Save the file, launch Wo. W and enjoy a working game. As a test, one can do this: /etc/init. X Server! My personal experience is ~5- 1. FPS with wow inside aiglx, while 2. You will, however, need a Windows license to use these files. Note: Remember to change < username> to your personal computer login username. Installer. exe. If you recieve the error Unrecognized key . It's configured by changing the value of the SET Sound. Buffer. Size line in wtf/Config. Anything from 5. 0 to 2. Bear in mind that excessive buffer size may create audio sync issues. Mozilla Active. X / Gecko rendering engine. When the patch program, or the Wo. W Launcher starts, it will ask you about installing Mozilla Active. X. In doing this you will download a trimmed down version of the Gecko rendering engine (Firefox, Mozilla) which will respond to Active. X calls, this means anytime a program tries to use HTML for a display, or similar, it will show. The launcher's news section and the changelog shown when applying a patch both use the rendering engine. Desktop panels on top of Wo. WYou may have trouble with the desktop panels (gnome- panel in Gnome, and kicker in KDE) showing up above the Wo. W . Two possible workarounds with gnome- panel are to either use the autohide option on the panel or the hide buttons, both of which you activate by right clicking the panel - > properties If you are using Beryl or Compiz, then you should start the game in windowed mode and then use a keyboard shortcut to make it go to fullscreen. Alternatively you can also either add - windowed to the command you use to start Wo. W, or add this line SET gx. Window . In Beryl you then press CTRL+ALT+ENTER to activate the fullscreen shortcut. In Compiz you need to do the following first: Open Compiz. Config Settings Manager Scroll down until you see the section titled Window Management. Enable the Extra WM Actions plugin Open the config dialogue & click the arrow next to General to display the various config options for the plugin Click on the space next to Toggle Fullscreen where it says disabled. You may for example use CTRL+ALT+ENTER and exit the configuration utility Now run the game, and use your hot- key combination to switch to fullscreen. Reassign Control key. If you are using CONTROL in your switch workspace key combo, you may need to reassign it to avoid inteferance from Wo. W. Changing video settings crash. If you try to configure Wo. W's video settings (Resolution, Vertex Shaders, Pixel Shaders etc.) while running in opengl mode, Wo. W may crash. The workaround is to configure Wo. W's video settings while running Wo. W in d. 3d mode, or by using a special addon. The addon is found here http: //files. Apply. To. Forehead/no- ext/, and you should extract the zipped folder in to /Interface/Add. Ons/ in your Wo. W directory. Then enable it under Add. Ons in the choose character screen. You probably need to tick the option, which says Load out of date Add. Ons, for it to work. You use d. 3d mode by running Wo. W with this command in stead of your usual one: wine wow. Config. wtf SET gx. Api . If this causes the display to be inverted or otherwise corrupted, do not be concerned. The display will correct itself once you switch back to Open. GL. Running in d. Wo. W's video options. Fullscreen glow. If Wo. W crashes on startup under opengl, but runs with d. Config. wtf: The world zombie event before Wrath of the Lich King release and some death knight quests in Wot. LK have a new glow effect that also may not work - on two of my computers, it causes the entire screen to glow white/black/green (depending on the effect). It has been reported that this solved the problem. Alternatively try using the linux minimap add- on, possible compatibility issue with XGL. This of course is normally a problem with the OSS (open source software) Drivers for ATi cards. This bug does not exist in the newest version of wine, 0. The bug was fixed in version 0. If for some reason the newest version of Wine does not work for you, then you can always fix the problem by downloading and installing a version of Wine between 0. Other reports state that changing the sound driver configured in winecfg from OSS to ALSA or changing the windows version in winecfg fixes the problem. There are a few workarounds for the problem if it persists. Just alt- tab out of the game and kill it with the process manager. Or if you launch Wo. W in a terminal you can kill it with ctrl- c. For those who don't like to end Wo. W process so brutally, you may want to try this: First write these two commands inside Wo. W /console reloadui /logout Then click . Also, some users have reported that Wo. W crashes or black- screens completely when Wo. W loses focus. The simplest way to make sound play while Wo. W doesn't have focus is to enabling the option Enable Sound in Background in the Sound Options menu. Setting the game to run in Windowed Mode (and then simply making it fullscreen) also appears to fix this problem and there is little noticeable difference between this and actually being fullscreen. There is also a post in the Wo. W appdb page, that gives a backwards diff patch that can be applied to the Wine source before compiling, that can fix the problem, but just commenting out the line in question - so that Wo. W never is even told that it has lost focus - works well too; you can then alt- tab between windows and back to Wo. W with zero delay, with Wo. W always running underneath, but this may break compatibility with other Wine apps and might not work with all windowmanagers, your mileage may vary. To comment out the line: download, extract the latest Wine tarball open up the file dlls/winex. Abey : 6- Oct- 9. Check again if the focus out window is the. Foreground window, because in most cases the messages sent. Get. Foreground. Window()). PROFIT To fix sound, or possibly other problems, first try adding SET ffx. Death . Try to run World of Warcraft. If this doesn't work, remove the text, and type in winecfginto a terminal. Click add application. Select C: \Program Files\World of Warcraft\Wow. Wow. exe file is. Then go to the Graphics tab. Now go to the Audio tab. Check both ALSA and OSS. Now start World of Warcraft. Exit at the log- in screen. Now type winecfginto a terminal again. It should now work perfectly. Try the graphics tweaks for added effect on performance! Confirm that you receive this error: . Start the game up, login to the character selection screen. Then exit the game, add the line back in - and you should be fine. This error is apparently caused by Blizzard's Hardware Survey code tripping something in Wine. As Wine isn't supported by Blizzard, sending back data that isn't quite correct is probably OK by them.
