Wine WOW eror (SOLVED)

[Hawks-SOAD]

ok guys my problem is i triple boot so i have installed wow on a win7 64bit Os
i wanna play it on UE2.3 64 bit so i just copied the folder over to the linux partition

Launcher works fine but when i click play or just load wow.exe

Code: Select all

Cannot Find suitable display device exiting program

when i loaded it in the terminal with the -openal option it spat put this

Code: Select all

Trying to load PE image for unsupported architecture (AMD-64)

does this mean i should install a 32bit wine or am i missing something

thanks in advance

Hi Hawks-SOAD .

well you will have to try those option alone I do not play
so let's go for work.

Try looking in the WoW program files (probably in ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/World of Warcraft). Find the folder WTF and file Config.wtf. Add this line to the end of it:

Code: Select all

SET gxapi "OpenGL"

That should make it run in opengl mode.

The other solution for you:

Solution for achievements.dbc errors:

On my computer my fat32 partition on which Wow was installed using Windows was mounted with permissions 755, owner and group root. This is the default. I unmounted the partition and edited /etc/fstab replacing the part where it says "defaults" with the following "umask=0007,gid=username of person launching wow ,shortname=winnt". It now works fine after remounting (mount -a). I spent about half an hour registering for this forum just to tell people that. Much easier than reinstalling using wine Do I get my free mount now? shortname=winnt is probably not related btw but i put it in cos it's what i have Please copy this solution to any other forums if it works for you cos I cba sorry

Why not just launch wow with wine?Leave it on your ntfs drive,and navigate to the exe. click on it,open it.Thats how I usually play my winblows games.
