Using fully updated Jaunty with 2.6.29.4 and open source ati (git) drivers with a radeon x1600. When running World of Warcraft using wine 1.1.22 the game crashes after less than 3 minutes. The frame rate in game is between 1 and 20 fps in areas where on hardy 8.10 fglrx i get 70. Also interesting to note is that i cant see the characters' elbows and knees or necks, that part is just missing! After 3 or so minutes of gameplay i crash to the desktop. What log files or config files do you need?
Does the drm patch in bug 21849 help? Alternately, you could try kernel 2.6.30. As the the drawing errors, You may want to try the radeon-rewrite branch of mesa. I believe there are ubuntu packages available.
(In reply to comment #1) > Does the drm patch in bug 21849 help? That's about lockups, but this sounds like just an app / GL driver crash... Andreas, we need more information about the crash, ideally a backtrace, but at least any output from the game / Wine.
ok , i will run from a terminal and post output. I will also try 2.6.30, as far as i can tell, that drm patch was incorporated into 2.6.30 right? For radeon-rewrite, do you mean this: https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/radeon I read through https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA#Adding%20a%20PPA%20to%20your%20Ubuntu%20repositories but im still a little unsure of what *exactly* to install, there seem to be many .deb packages, for example: libgl1-mesa-swx11-dbg_7.6.0 libgl1-mesa-swx11_7.6.0 libosmesa6-dev_7.6.0 so what do i install? or do i install all of them?
> so what do i install? or do i install all of them? You only have to replace the packages which you already have installed, adding the PPA repository and an "software update" should do this for you. (The packages in question are also listed in the "Uninstalling" section of the PPA page.)
> I will also try 2.6.30, as far as i can tell, that drm patch was incorporated into 2.6.30 right? Yes, in 2.6.30 final, but not in the release candidates. So you will have to wait for the Ubuntu version 2.6.30-9.10 (or use an up to date kernel from somewhere else).
Hi, did some testing and playing around. I upgraded my kernel and upgraded those mesa packages and pulled the latest git drivers for the open source ati (changing into the directory and issuing a git-pull before compiling, is this the way to do it?). My framerate got doubled to 30 fps and the game ran for about 10 mins before crashing. After that it crashed all the time and the visuals still look wrong. No luck with the trace unfortunately (probably cos i went and did the wrong thing): dre@waffet:~$ gdb wine /home/dre/.wine/drive_c/Programme/World\ of\ Warcraft/Launcher.exe gives me GNU gdb 6.8-debian This GDB was configured as "i486-linux-gnu"... (no debugging symbols found) "/home/dre/.wine/drive_c/Programme/World of Warcraft/Launcher.exe" is not a core dump: File format is ambiguous (gdb) uname -a gives me: Linux waffet 2.6.30-020630-generic #020630 SMP Wed Jun 10 09:45:40 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux The windows error that wine spits out is This application has encountered a critical error: ERROR #132 (0x85100084) Fatal Exception Program: C:\Programme\World of Warcraft\Wow.exe Exception: 0xC0000005 (ACCESS_VIOLATION) at 0073:00000000 The instruction at "0x00000000" referenced memory at "0x00000000".

Can you try with Ubuntu 9.10?
I Guess this can be closed. the game is playable with mesa 7.12 or higher
