WoW Wine/Ati/OS x64 11.1

[greenmachine]

The only error that is important is that last one:

Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.

This suggests something wrong with the driver. If direct rendering is available as shown in the above posts then something weird is happening.

You can try:
- Make sure the package 'Mesa-32bit' is installed.
- Install a different driver (wasn't a new one released recently?)
- try running the game in a VERY simple Window manager like TWM or FVWM. You can log into these from the login menu before you start KDE/GNOME/etc.

I'm using latest ATI Driver (8.12)

I tried to run the game in TWM but have no changes

Also I noticed that when I'm trying to set up x11 server (using sax2 from Yast) it appears a message saying

"It's not possible to disable all the screens, at least one must be enabled"

(or something like that, I'm spanish so the message is in spanish)

And in Monitor label it says ATI

Ok if I try to change that and apply changes I have the next error:

"X configuration: Data incomplete in file /var/lib/sax/xorg.conf Undefined Screen "Pç€~ " referenced by Server Layout "(null)""

and this is my ServerLayout xorg.conf:

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Layout[all]"
InputDevice "Keyboard[0]" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Mouse[1]" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Mouse[3]" "SendCoreEvents"
Option "Clone" "off"
Option "Xinerama" "off"
Screen "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0"
EndSection

I don't know if it's related with the main problem

Also I'll try to use an older driver

thanks

I had the same problem and I was not able to run WoW since the WoW folder was under NTFS partition. But something came to in my mind and I copied my "world of warcraft" folder to under suse patition and now WoW is working fine. But this is not a good solution for me since I dont have any space in suse partition only 400MB left . Something different must be found to solve the problem!

Btw, I have a laptop with a nvidia graphic card.

I hope this helps people who have the same problem.

It think it hasn't any effect. If your Wow wasn't running on NTFS partition, but running on ext3 then maybe you had permission problems.

No, I dont think I have permision problem since I set my fstab file to give permission to my current user account. Also I logged in as root and tried to run the game and same thing happened (WoW only worked under suse partition).

I'm played Wow about 1 years from an NTFS partitions, while I did a lot of reinstalls on my laptop. Are you got some error messages when you started it from the NTFS partition?

Wow works fine with nVIDIA cards

The problem is using ATI cards.

I fixed the screen error but there wasn't related with Wow problem.

I tryed an older ATI driver but I couldn't install it because it wasn't compatible with opensuse 11.1

I'm very sure that is something related with ATI driver or a library missing in opensuse 11.1 or maybe a combination of that two things

@Metalliwolf
Also I tryed to copy my wow folder in an ex3 partition, nothing have changed. Maybe you didn't put permissions well, although as I said there's no problem if you use nVIDIA card

Check if you have all those libs which are required for the ATI driver:
ATI - openSUSE

I followed this guide with the latest driver (I think its 9.1) from ATI official site and it works like a charm.

I have ATI Radeon 2600 HD Pro with openSUSE 11.1 64bit (x86_64).

That worked!

Thank you very much (really)

For all the people who got the same problem of box hanging indefinitely when trying to run wow on wine using flag -opengl you might try setting <SET hwDetect "0"> in config.wtf. You can create config.wtf if doesn't exist, as was in my case. I tried many things none of which worked, but finally this worked for me. Anyways i am posting whole contents of my working config.wtf incase that hsDetect doesn't work
