The damn World of Warcraft

The damn thing keep sucking me back in. I checked up on Cedega and noticed they released version 6.0 which is supposed to include Shader 2.0 support and other optimizations that should result in better performance. So somehow this lead me down the rabbit hole of playing WoW again.

My original writeup on my setup is here http://www.ub3rgeek.net/wp/?p=38, so I will only detail the stuff that has changed.

  • World of Warcraft Client 2.0.12 en-US
  • Cedega 6.0
  • Dropline Gnome 2.16.3
  • nVidia driver 1.0-9755

Edit: I am testing out Wine 0.9.34 which looks promising, what with GLSL and other such things.
I am dinking with the registry settings to eek the most performance out of it, but at first glance it is a strong contender with Cedega at least in the World of Warcraft camp.
