Since the 64-bit client for WoW released earlier this month, are there any updates on the 64-bit version of Crossover?

While the 64-bit client isn't fully supported yet by Blizzard, it would be nice to see if it'll run any better on my system having better access to all the resources it has to give the client.

Right now, it doesn't appear to work in Wine-64, but give how new it is, it's not entirely unexpected.

I have myself been trying to get the 64bit Client running but with not much luck, I will try and keep you posted.

Hello,

If you are trying to run WoW client 64bit through crossover then you will not succeed. Why? Because you are trying to run a 64bit executable in what is basically a 32bit environment. Even on 64bit platforms crossover will make use of the so called 32bit compatibility libs.

When you load the launcher you can select the 32 bit version or just use the wow.exe from your install folder.

If you already knew this sorry for stating the obvious.

Work started this year on a 64 bit version of wine. Which, confusingly includes a component named WoW as well (or maybe it's WOW all capitals, it stands for Windows32onWindows64). Wine64bit

There is no CrossOver 64bit proper at the moment. When you run CrossOver in a 64-bit environment CrossOver itself maybe 64-bit but the Wine (and Windows) processes it spawns are using the 32-bit libraries. Considering that until recently Windows XP was the most installed version of Windows and XP is 32-bit only there wasn't much reason to develop Wine 64 bit in the past.

The next major version of wine might include the 64 bit version.

Windows 64bit has a wow64 its the windows or system32 for 64 bit.

I have been trying to compile 64bit wine to work as a x86_x64 version on 64bit mint however i have had no luck.

so i just say use 32bit wow for now.
