Summary: World of Warcraft - NVidia flicker & display bug.
Product: Wine
Version: 0.9.23.
Platform: PC
OS/Version: other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: wine-directx
AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
ReportedBy: atrauzzi at gmail.com
Wine 0.9.23 from Ubuntu repository.
* No manual registry entries.
* No custom patches applied.
* No original version of Windows.
Ubuntu 6.06LTS
* NVidia GEForce 6600GT AGP 128MB
* AMD Athlon 64 2800 Socket 754
* ABit KV8 Pro
* 1.5GB PC-3200 DDR RAM
World of Warcraft 1.12.1 (5875) (Release)
* Launched using: "wine 'C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WoW.exe '-opengl"
Problem:
When WoW is run using OpenGL mode, a problem with flickering graphics presents
itself. On my machine, I have also noticed that there is no 3D graphics
anywhere at all. The only thing rendered on the screen are UI controls, menus
and other 2D visuals.
Steps:
Run WoW using the command line above. Issue is right away noticeable.
Notes:
o A workaround patch was created by someone who seemed to understand the
problem. The following link will offer a copy of it, however the WoW appdb page
contains a posted copy of it as well:

o I have included a screenshot which obviously won't depict the flickering
issue, but does exhibit the missing 3D visuals.
o Obviously it is desirable to be able to run WoW in OpenGL mode as opposed to
DirectX as it offers an opportunity to greatly improve performance.
