[Wine] SegFault with World of Warcraft

[Chris MacKay]

You can't just copy WoW from your Windoze side to Wine and have it work. Seg faults and errors will plague you, and the odds of making it work are nil. :)

You actually need to go through the installation and patching process under Wine as if it were a brand new installation.  That way Wine can use it's own registry, etc, to make a proper, working installation.

> On the #WineHQ channel a friendly guy tried to help me and told me to execute the WoW.exe with "/opt/wine/bin/wine" command. So I did, and ended up with the following output.

> I have a GeForce 9800M GT video card and have the newest beta-version drivers for it (nvidia-beta 177.x and nivida-utils-beta 177.x). The driver being beta shouldn't really matter, 'cause this problem was present even when I had the newest stable drivers.

> The World of Warcraft installation I am using is the newest Burning Crusade -patch and it has been copied straight from my Windows computer. Don't know if that could be an issue, though.

> Hmm, what more... Oh well, I suppose that's about all.

> Oh, except for the thing that my wine has been able to run Heroes 3 and Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 (only cinematics, though), so my wine is at least somehow working.
