WoW gfx problems

[leojreimroc]

Hi

Ever since the new patch, I've been having strange graphic problems. This happens usually when I fly around, it'll start small and soon it covers the whole screen. The problem is the screen fills up with unicolor polygons. Here is a screenshot.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Are you running compiz in background?
You are using OpenGL or DirectX
Do you have any library overrirdes?

I am using Compiz in the background. Do you think that could be it?

I am using OpenGL.

I am not sure what you mean by library overrides.


Thanks for the help, I will try to disable Compiz, see if that does anything.

Have you installed correct Graphics Driver?
Which Driver are you using for Graphics Card in xorg.conf file?

sudo lspci | grep -i vga
grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf

[leojreimroc]

joelcormier@ubuntu:~$ sudo lspci | grep -i vga
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8800 GT (rev a2)

joelcormier@ubuntu:~$ grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Driver "nvidia"


The driver installed, I installed it automatically though ubuntu. In the driver window, says:

NVIDIA Accelerated graphics driver (version 180)
Licence: proprietary

ok so it's not compiz, uninstalled it, and problem is still there

Re-install Nvidia driver.
Execute this

sudo apt-get install envyng
sudo envyng

Remove and re-install Nvidia driver through envyng.

sudo envyng

in your Wine registry.
check for
HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Wine > Direct3D > set String OffscreenRenderingMode = backbuffer
UseGLSL = enabled

for more reference check here UsefulRegistryKeys - The Official Wine Wiki

Thanks again for the responses. I am having problems with both solutions.

Here's the error that I'm getting by the way. Usually the screen goes into those polygons then crashes.


The instruction at "0x7E126AE0" referenced memory at "0x765096B0".
The memory could not be "read".

Re-install Nvidia driver.
Execute this

sudo apt-get install envyng
sudo envyng

Remove and re-install Nvidia driver through envyng.

sudo envyng

joelcormier@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install envyng

I'm confused by the line E: Couldn't find package envyng. My E: drive is not a drive that I use a lot. It is not my main drive.


I also tried downloading envyng from their website. The file that I downloaded opens Package installer but the "install package" button is greyed out, and I can't click it. Can I open the file that I downloaded in a terminal? If so what would be the command to run it? I tried just going to the download folder (in a terminal) and typing envyng-core_1.1.1ubuntu10_all.deb, but it's obviously not working.

This did not do anything different, I still crashed after trying this.

The E: you see there isn't actually a drive letter. Linux doesn't use drive letters like Microsoft Windows. The E stands for "error." Drives in Linux are given designations like /dev/sda, /dev/hdb, and /dev/cdrom.

I would respectfully disagree with casper and recommend that you NOT install the Envy driver. It has caused myself and others a number of problems in the past. However, for future reference you can install .DEB files using this command in Ubuntu or other Debian-based distributions (replacing "nameOfYourDebPackage" with the actual file name):

sudo dpkg -i nameOfYourDebPackage.deb
