If someone as new to Linux and Ubuntu as me can do this, I think most anyone can!įirst, a couple of things about my default config these are the settings I use for every game unless otherwise indicated. On Saturday, May 19, I got the Official Book and took the plunge. Note for Ubuntu newbies: I never even heard of Ubuntu before Wednesday, and had NEVER touched a Linux OS. As an aside, I made my gaming PC a purely Linux PC when I installed Ubuntu for the first time. Once I did that, everything was great AND I have double the framerate I had when running in Windows. After looking into the problem, I realized I forgot to put -opengl at the end of my launch command. Glitches you noticed during game play: When I first loaded the game after all of the installs and patches and such, everything worked fine, but I had two mouse pointers and, twice during a raid that evening, I crashed. Before I even loaded the game, I also did a search on the Ubuntu forums and on the Wine website () for WoW issues.Ĥ.
What you did to get it running: I followed the WoW installation instructions here (). How the installation went: Almost perfectģ. Game name and manufacturer: World of Warcraft/BlizzardĢ.
