Graphics

Linux klaatu 2.6.18-194.26.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue Nov 9 12:54:20 EST 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

CentOS 5.5

NVidia GForce 9800GT
Driver 260.19.21
Release Date 2010.11.11

  • I did not do a full install, but instead copied the directory over and am running launcher.exe (created a bottle of course).
  • Did the suggested changes to the file WTF/Config.WTF file.
  • Replaced the wldap32 file in order to have a successful login.

So far, ok for the most part, with a couple of issues.

  1. Most video settings went to the lowest setting and cannot be changed. They have a comment 'Shader Model 3 Capable Graphics Card Required'.

  2. Ocassional crashes with 'Out of Memory' errors. It happened twice so far while flying out of Dalaran.

  3. Lost 5.1 audio.

Any comments or suggestions will be appreciated.

Great job guys!

ok so your only 2 problems are out of memory and game crashes upon leaving dal?

For the game crashing in dalaran i think you should follow this thread and see if it helps in the future.

I dont think this is a linux issue...

But in the meantime:

Did the game run fine before the copy?
Did you try using the repair feature in the wow directory?
Did you try re copying the files just in case there was a mpq problem?
Are you runing in opengl or d3d9? (check world of warcraft/wtf/config.wtf for set gxapi "d3d9 or opengl" try using the other one and see if it works.
Are you letting the game fully download and go to green before presing play? (this can be a problem if you play in yellow or even green when not completed after a major patch)

That should do it for now.

This was a copy of the above post.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
