World of WarCraft and PlayOnLinux

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

1. Start PlayOnLinux
2. Click add program
3. Find World of WarCraft
4. Follow PlayOnLinux install instuctions, find the downloaded client.
5. Follow World of WarCraft install instructions
6. Eventually it crashes so close World of WarCraft and PlayOnLinux
7. Find the PlayOnLinux Virtual drives
8. Copy World of WarCraft directory from Windows into the World of WarCraft directory in the PlayOnLinux virtual drive.
9. Start PlayOnLinux
10. Click add program
11. Find World of WarCraft
12. Follow PlayOnLinux install instuctions, find the downloaded client.
13. Follow World of WarCraft install instructions
14. Still will probably crash
15. Needed to go into the PlayOnLinux configuration for World of WarCraft and change the Wine version to 1.4.1
16. PlayOnLinux will create a link to the Wow.exe. Need to create a new link to the Launcher.exe
17. 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.

  • Frost strike to dump runic power
  • Howling Blast for AOE once procs
