World of Warcraft Forum

Hi there,

I'm trying to launch WoW, however either with normal Wine and Crossover I get a directx error message. And yes I have installed DirectX9 in the WoW Bottle.

I have a optimus graphics card (Dell XPS15) if that may help. I have already installed Ironhide though.

Any help will be MUCH appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

According to this site:

Your laptop can come with a very wide range of graphics cards. We will need to know which one you have on board before we can help you. After that, we'll need to know which Linux distro you are running and which graphics cards you are using. Finally, we'll need to know how you installed World of Warcraft.

I am haveing the same issue running Fedora 16.

I am having the same issue.

Running Centos 6
NVIDIA GEForce GTX 560 Ti
NVidia Driver Installed
DirectX (Modern) Installed in Warcraft bottle

Have you tried running it with the OpenGL string? add this to your Config.wtf file SET gxAPI "OpenGL" WoW runs great this way. I would run in Directx myself but wine does not properly recognize my GPU. This might be your issue also.

In Fedora 17 64 bit, I get the same error. My system is as follows:

Quad-core AMD Phenom II 3.0ghz
Nvidia GTS 250 1GB VRAM
4 GB RAM

My WoW install was done in a fresh bottle in Crossover 11.1.0. I have tried manually installing the DirectX Runtime through crossover with no luck. I also seem to be having difficulty to get OpenGL mode working (although it might be just me being unable to remember how exactly to switch to openGL mode).

I think I found it (atleast, for nVidia cards). According to here: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=253556 it appears to be a missing package, xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686. yum install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686 should fix it.

That fixed it for me!

Does anyone know the equivalent package under Debian and apt?

Thanks.

Have some problem on Ubuntu 12.10

How fix it?
