Here is a dirty workaround that allows me to run the game through the Launcher
for now.

Start the Launcher with this bash script:


#!/bin/bash

nohup env WINEPREFIX="/home/sean/.wine" wine "C:\Games\World of
Warcraft\Launcher.exe" &
sleep 1
chmod 770 -v ~/.wine/drive_c/Games/World\ of\ Warcraft
echo "Exiting"
exit 0



You need to change the directory names to match your own, but this should set
the proper permissions to your WoW folder 1 second after starting the
Launcher(you may have increase this if you have a slow computer), and then exit
the script. This should make the game launchable through the Launcher, and
hopefully allow the installation of future patches through the
launcher(hopefully the future patches fix this)
