OK, so I don't know what's going on. (even with tinyproxy/firehol off the following occurs). Unless wine is run by root, when WoW is first loaded and trying to login, WoW creates a Cache folder and a bunch of folders under cache for login purposes. The Cache folder exists in: <wine profile dir>/drive_c/users/Public/Applicatoin data/Blizzard Entertainment/Battle.net. Now it can create up to Cache and Download/TMP under Cache, but all the extra folders don't get created unless being run as root. And if they aren't created, you can't log in. Also, running Repair.exe says can't fix the folder permssions. However, I have read/write access to all folders. drwxr-xr-x 4 macnean macnean 4096 2010-11-14 17:15 .winewowtwo2/ same with where WoW is installed. Also, the fresh installer can't connect: fixme:font:CreateScalableFontResourceW (0,L"C:\\users\\Public\\Application Data\\Blizzard Entertainment\\FrizQuadrata.fon",L"C:\\users\\Public\\Application Data\\Blizzard Entertainment\\FrizQuadrata.ttf",(null)): stub no idea if that has anything to do with it. I do have the wldap32 native fix. -- Sincerely, MacNean C. Tyrrell -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
