hello there,

i bought WoW today and i'm really looking forward to play it, but....

if i start the the game the screen just goes black and i can hear the background music from the menue, nothing more!
in my WoW/Errors dir WoW creates a Log

Quote:

==============================================================================
World of WarCraft (build 4500)

Exe: C:\World of Warcraft\WoW.exe
Time: Jul 27, 2005 11:55:45.052 PM
User: idej
Computer: Deimos
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This application has encountered a critical error:

ERROR #132 (0x85100084) Fatal Exception
Program: C:\World of Warcraft\WoW.exe
Exception: 0xC0000005 (ACCESS_VIOLATION) at 0023:557F4006

The instruction at "0x557F4006" referenced memory at "0x783F516C".
The memory could not be "written".


WoWBuild: 4500
[...]

(but the game doesn't crash, just a blank screen and music!)


I'm running 2.6.11 Kernel, nvidia 6771, gentoo 64bit @ amd 64 @ 3200+, Kingston DDR 400 (testet FSB 166, same too)
cedega 4.3 (also testet newer versions but i was told it runs best with 4.3), xorg-6.8.2-r2
I blasted my hole transgaming dirs and configs away serveral times and reinstalled cedega, nothing changed!

i would be very thankfull if anybody has any ideas how to solve or can give me a hint what to try etc.... :=)

With Windows the game just runs fine

okay, i emerged wine today (can wine and cedega co-exist?), installed mozilla and so on....,
the game still crashes but here wine quits with an error message :P

wine WoW.exe -opengl

The Error Log still remains the same!

glxinfo | grep render

direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 6600 GT/PCI/SSE2
GL_NVX_conditional_render, GL_SGIS_generate_mipmap, GL_SGIS_texture_lod,


i will take a closer look into my xorg config, but i'm still thankfull for help


**okay, solved it!
i changed the color deep to 24, disabled cursorshadows and disabled the Composite Extension!

that's exactly what I was going to tell you, to change the color depth to 24... anyway I don't think you have to disable the composite extention. Just don't have any composite manager running together with apps using the opengl accell... and yes, you can have cedega and wine installed at the same time
