World of Warcraft Forum

Hi,

I have the trial version of Crossover, and have installed World of Warcraft. I am using Ubuntu 7.04.

When I go to start WoW, I get the following error: "World of Warcraft was unable to start up 3D acceleration."
Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?

Thanks.

EDIT: I managed to solve this problem by running the following command in terminal:

sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new

Followed by a restart.

Installation went well enough, but I too got the message "unable to start up 3D acceleration". I am using an ATI Radeon 9200.

Fortunately, I've gotten past that problem and am now downloading the WoW patches. The solution for me was to run WoW.exe directly rather than through the menu. For example, my desktop launcher runs:

"/home/me/.cxgames/win2000/drive_c/Program Files/World of Warcraft/WoW.exe"

instead of the icon crossover put there which was set to:

"/home/me/.cxgames/win2000/desktopdata/cxmenu/Desktop.c^5E3A^5Fwindows^5Fprofiles^5FAll^2BUsers^5FDesktop/World+of+Warcraft"

Whoops. It seems that when WoW actually ran, I was using the plain vanilla version of WINE that I had installed earlier using Debian's apt-get system. I still can't get the CrossOver Games version to run at all, but I'd like to since I've heard it is faster. (Also, I want to support CodeWeavers' good work.)
