 Posted: Mon Aug 04, 2008 7:53 am Post subject: WoW + ntfs-3g? does it work? |
 |
|
i remember back when i played wow through wine, i got it to work from my ntfs partition, basically with the kernel ro ntfs. But i have tried quickly to see if it works when using ntfs-3g, and it seems to not work, although i have read somewhere that it has worked for some people.
So i said to myself, might as well ask around and see.
Also, any other games are working through ntfs-3g and wine?
Thanks  |

Wine is filesystem agnostic as far as I can tell.
There's no reason why it would work on one fs and not another, it's up to the kernel to handle that, and userland program do not worry about that usually. Most linux programs just need a proper fs infrastructure for the permissions and ownership stuff, but wine doesn't even need that, since it's designed to deal with FAT stuff, which did not have such things. |

| i see. Well, from past experience, i know that it used to work with the kernel ntfs read only module for ntfs. That is WoW and wine. Now, i can't seem to get it to work. |

Mmm, maybe the wine config was changed. Or the wine version. Or the WoW config since now it's mounted r/w...
Is there any relevant error or output that could help?
Is direct rendering enabled?
| Code: | | glxinfo | grep -n3 direct |
EDIT: I said the fs shouldn't be a problem, however, does it change anything if you copy WoW to your linux partition? |

| I did try this (copying the wow folder to the linux partition) before. And it did work without any problems, WoW and the launcher. |

I play many games from ntfs-3g partition including WoW, only problem is many games make My Games directory for storing save, configuration files in your home directory and you have to synchronize it with Windows |

@chabo: what linux partition format do you use? I'm using reiser. might this have something to do with that?
ok. so... i play on a private server, and the launcher works excelent when I copy the wow folder (where the launcher is included also) to the linux partition. When i run it from the ntfs partition through ntfs-3g.
this is the error when i try to run the Launcher (the launcher permits me to connect either to the official euro server, the official US server, or the private server):
