World of Warcraft error. 3d accelerator card issues?

[alwayssunny11]

So I've downloaded and installed the game. Problem is, every time I click "play" on the launcher, a window sometimes appears asking me if I want to reload default settings. So I click "no". But always an error message appears telling me My 3d accelerator card won't run WoW because it doesn't have dual-TMU support? When I ran Windows xp on my computer, World of Warcraft would work fine! But I now have Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS and I'm using Wine to run World of Warcraft. Also I have direct rendering enabled so I'm not sure what the problem could be. I'm fairly new to Linux so please are with me. Thanks.

should edit config.wtf file and set the renderer to use opengl

i'm pretty sure the exact things needed are written on wowwiki actually

i think its like set gxApi "opengl" or something

[alwayssunny11]

SET readTOS "-1"

SET readEULA "-1"

SET readScanning "-1"

SET readContest "-1"

SET checkAddonVersion "1"

SET locale "enUS"

SET playIntroMovie "3"

SET showToolsUI "1"

SET accounttype "CL"

SET readTerminationWithoutNotice "-1"

SET installType "Retail"

SET patchlist "enUS.patch.battle.net:1119/patch"

SET hwDetect "0"

SET gxApi "opengl"

SET gxRefresh "60"

SET gxMultisampleQuality "0.000000"

SET gxFixLag "0"


That's what my config.wtf looks like. I've already made the change but it hasn't made a difference

whats your graphics card? do you have correct drivers installed?

i found this in about 30 seconds, right on wowwiki (which i refered you to earlier)

There is all my graphics card info

[coopstah13]

thats unfortunate

your video card is no longer supported by ATI on linux, so you will need to use an older version of ubuntu probably to get the correct driver, based on about 5-10 minutes of googling

i'm guessing this is a laptop, which means changing graphics adapters is out of the question

This is one of the reasons I tend to avoid ATI at all costs

you might want to do more googling to verify, but I believe what you are using is the open source radeon driver now for your card, which isn't quite as far along as needed for this

[alwayssunny11]

thanks. I'm just going to buy a new laptop, that doesn't run linux. This is a family comp
