WoW Wine/Ati/OS x64 11.1

[skymerto]

Hi,
default install of OpenSuse 11.1 x64, Ati 8.12, Wine-1.1.9 and I cannot get WOW working.

I start it with: wine ./Wow.exe and it just gives me a black screen. Config.wtf is accurate - and set to openGL.

If I start Ubuntu x64 wow works fine with same version of Wine and same configuration of the game.

The messages from the terminal are:
fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x39f59c,0x00000000), stub!

... (it just hangs there)...

WoW worked perfectly fine on OpenSuse 11.0 x64. Does anyone have an idea ?

[skymerto]

I updated to Wine-1.1.11 .. still exactly same issue.

Never played wow on ATI card before. Take a look to Wine (software) - WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft. Hope that helps.
Good luck.

Thanks for the reply !

I am 99% certain it's not the wow configuration itself. I'm very experienced in configuring and making that one game work in Linux ;-)

I have it working in Ubuntu 32, x64 without a hassle. Also it was working fine in OpenSuse 11.0 32bits. However, I'd really like to get rid of all the other distros and just have Open Suse 11.1 x64.

Maybe there are other dependencies / libraries that can get messed up on x64 ? ATI driver bug ?

[skymerto]

... Tried ArchLinux x64 and ended up with exactly the same issue.

I found they have a package:lib32-catalyst-utils

This solved my issues (after a reboot).

Bump Please - Exact same issue here:

boo:~> wine --version
wine-1.1.11

Results of running wine against the Wow.exe file = blank/black screen with sound running in background and the gauntlet pointer. Config.wtf file is set for opengl and running with opengl flag (wine /path/to/wow.exe -opengl). Also, the wow.exe file is on an NTFS partition (my windows partition). Any help would be appreciated. Let me know if you need more info. I would like to stay with SuSE rather then switching distros.

Thanks.

Same issue for me

With opensuse 11.0 I can play WoW with wine but with 11.1 after having installed ATI drivers and all working ok (like dobbinsm) I only see a black screen with Warcraft logo and text not with 3D renderization

Please if anyone knows how to fix it help me, I want to say goodbye Microsoft

For everyone:

It is important to know if you compiled WINE yourself, or used an RPM. If you used an RPM, from where did you get it?

If you compiled it yourself on the x86_64 machine, then it is possible that you are missing some 32bit libraries because installing the '-devel-32bit' packages for compiling sometimes don't install the libraries themselves (although rarely.)

I've installed wine using the wine repository provided by the community, i haven't compiled it.

But I'm sure that's an ATI Driver bug because i changed the config.wtf with opengl configuration and yesterday I logged in Windows and ran WoW. I had the same problem on windows, then I removed the OpenGL config and worked perfectly (on windows of course)

So maybe it's a bug of the latest ATI drivers with OpenGL (my ATI driver version is 8.12)

Althougt, even with the black screen I can see the text and non 3D images, so I can play but no seeing anithing xD

Sorry for double-posting

I have updated to wine-1.1.14

And if it helps you to find a solution there's the wine's message while running wine Wow.exe -opengl (with configure.wtf using opengl)
