Re-installed Ubuntu and had to re-install World of WarCraft. Wine, Winetricks, and PlayOnLinux all won't install seamlessly for me.
Things needed
- PlayOnLinux, install instuctions for lastest version.
- Download the client from Battle.net
- World of WarCraft copied from wife's Windows
Things to do
- Start PlayOnLinux
- Click add program
- Find World of WarCraft
- Follow PlayOnLinux install instuctions, find the downloaded client.
- Follow World of WarCraft install instructions
- Eventually it crashes so close World of WarCraft and PlayOnLinux
- Find the PlayOnLinux Virtual drives
- Copy World of WarCraft directory from Windows into the World of WarCraft directory in the PlayOnLinux virtual drive.
- Start PlayOnLinux
- Click add program
- Find World of WarCraft
- Follow PlayOnLinux install instuctions, find the downloaded client.
- Follow World of WarCraft install instructions
- Still will probably crash
- Needed to go into the PlayOnLinux configuration for World of WarCraft and change the Wine version to 1.4.1
- PlayOnLinux will create a link to the Wow.exe. Need to create a new link to the Launcher.exe
- Using the launcher.exe finally World of WarCraft will run.
Have had my system hang a couple of times playing so far. Need to look into why.
