World of Warcraft quit after latest patch

[Don Cooley]

I just got World of WarcraftWoW to work on 14 July. Everything
was working fine. Started it today and it downloaded the latest patch,
WoW-2.4.2.8278-to-2.4.3.8606-enUS-patch. Now WoW's UI will launch but
when I click play nothing happens. Anyone else experiencing problems
with WoW? BTW, I'm running Fedora 9 with a standard intel grapics card.

I've always found using the WoW Launcher app to be a bit dodgy, and so select
the option to not use the launcher.  What you should be able to do is start
the game directly from a terminal, using something like:

{cxoffice_dir}/bin/wine -bottle {bottle_name} -cx-app WoW.exe

replacing {cxoffice_dir} with the crossover install path, and {bottle_name}
with whatever bottle you installed the game into.  That should get the game
running for you.  Then at the first screen (where you give your login &
password), there will be a check box 'Show launcher?' in the bottom left
corner.  If you uncheck that, then when you next start the game from the
desktop shortcut, it will bypass the launcher and go straight into the game.

The only downside to doing this is that you lose the ability for the game to
download upcoming patch updates in the background.  Instead, the game will
d/load the next patch when you first run the game after an update is
released.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

- Brendon

Could you get a support ticket in on that right away?

Thanks,

Jeremy

Well ... I grew impatient because a friend with a windows box wants me
to get this running so I can play too. I deleted it and am now
downloading it to install with wine. I am willing to file a
support ticket. What info do you need?

Just that info will work nicely.
