Re: Ubuntu + Wine = Can't See My WoW :(

I don't know how graphics intensive WoW is, but I can attest that the Intel chipset, for lack of a better word, sucks.

I've used it on Urban Terror and you have to turn texture settings and such as low as it will got to make it remotely playable. And there are some maps that it just can't handle (try less than 10 fps).

The moral of the story is that if WoW is anywhere near as intensive as Urban Terror, even if you get it working, you might not like the results.

Hmmm. I assume you have already checked to be sure you have the latest
stable drivers for your graphics card, I have no experience with Intel
graphics cards but that does seem to be a common starting place with
graphics problems in general.

When you start WoW are you forcing it to run in opengl? Most linux
systems have trouble with the default format and improve greatly in opengl.

What version of windows is your wine set to? Try changing it between XP
and 98 and see if either makes a difference. We set it at XP, but have
had to switch to 98 to get updates to apply at times and I've seen forum
posts of people saying they get better performance on their hardware in 98.

Sorry if that is all stuff you have already tried or doesn't help.
