I am running openSUSE on a 8800GT (if that’s relevant).
I am trying to run WoW off my Windows NTFS partition, I have installed NTFS-CONFIG and NTFS-3G and I have full read/write access to the drive.
When I type wine wow.exe -opengl it returns with:
err:module:attach_process_dlls "DivxDecoder.dll" failed to initialize, aborting
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"Z:\\windows\\C\\LOG\\World of Warcraft\\wow.exe" failed, status c0000005
Any ideas? :S
Thanks…
Doubt if you can get it to run off your windows partition better to run it natively in Linux.
My son runs it and according to him it works really well.
If you do a search for WOW Linux you will find loads of howtos.
There’s a good one here
And screen shots here

I would install it natively but I don’t have enough disk space to fit WoW on any of my ext3 partitions. I have used it on ubuntu before on an NTFS (external!) hard drive before and it worked great. 
Obviously my last resort will be to try and sort things out with my partitions, but I doubt that is the problem. I’ve read through quite a few guides, none of them mention this error at all.
I’ll keep testing and see what happens, thanks
Apparently I had 55GB unformatted. :x
Well I installed it, works 100% perfectly now! 
Thanks a lot, I would never have figured it out on my own.
Cool , glad you got it working

Glad to see you’ve got it solved, if you’re still interested in getting the install on the NTFS partition to work. (I know I got annoyed when I didn’t get it to work… having to manage all the addons in two different places). I’d double check if you actually have write rights on the disk as I’ve had the same error when I did not have those.
I had it working without any errors, however it’s worth to note that it seemed to load a bit faster from an EXT3 partition then it did from NTFS.
I resized my NTFS partition and made a 50~GB one for games.
Thanks anyways though.
Hello,
I’m also having this error, however, I have to be able to run it from my Windows partition. My NTFS partition is setup within fstab as follows:
/dev/disk/sda1 /windows/C ntfs-3g users,gid=users,fmask=133, dmask=022,locale=
en_US.UTF-8 0 0
I am able to read and write to the drive (can touch and delete files on it, but still receive the error referenced at the beginning of the thread. Have the latest ATI driver installed and working and the latest WINE (1.1.11). Any ideas?
Thanks!
Resolved…solution in this thread…
