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

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.

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
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
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.
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?
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
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
