[solved] wondering how well world of warcraft performs with wine..

I've browsed winehq about world of warcraft but I'm just looking for more details on how well world of warcraft runs with wine. Also wondering which wine version is the best and does the opengl option still work and recommended over directx.

After some googleing I tried running it with:
WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/mnt/storage5/winedir/win32 LD_PRELOAD="libpthread.so.0 libGL.so.1" __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 wine /mnt/storage5/winedir/win32/drive_c/Program\ Files/World\ of\ Warcraft/Wow.exe
It definitely worked that time but when I click on a character and enter the world it crashes with this error:
fixme:d3d:resource_check_usage Unhandled usage flags 0x8.
fixme:d3d:resource_check_usage Unhandled usage flags 0x8.
fixme:d3d:resource_check_usage Unhandled usage flags 0x8.

fixme:d3d:resource_check_usage Unhandled usage flags 0x8.
fixme:d3d:resource_check_usage Unhandled usage flags 0x8.
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
EDIT:
I fixed it! I had to create a registry key and set my video cards ram in the direct3d key.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D
new string
VideoMemorySize
Had to set mine to 2048 for 2gb.
WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/mnt/storage5/winedir/win32 WINEDEBUG=-all LD_PRELOAD="libpthread.so.0 libGL.so.1" __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 wine /mnt/storage5/winedir/win32/drive_c/Program\ Files/World\ of\ Warcraft/Wow.exe
Is how I launch mine.
FPS skyrocketed even more. Now it hovers around 70 - 120fps.

How well does MacBook air Perform with the sims 2?

I don't know how you apple lovers did this to me but.. God, after yeas of hating Mac for no appearent reason and favoring microsoft, worshiping Bill gates someone handed me an iPhone and it was love at first touch. I'm sorry Bill I can no longer resist apple's incredible products! Time to get my first apple computer! Bottom line I love the sims 2 and wish to have a laptop that plays it easily. I've got my eyes on the latest MacBook pro, is it captable? The bigger issue is the price.. One thousand dollars is already a ton of money but amazingly I'm willing To spend just that but two thousand dollars is out of the question.. I need a MacBook of any sort that will play the sims 2 at least and a decent screen resolution.. I'm probably better off with a windows vista. Prove me wrong!

I have several other Macromedia applications - but not Air. But if the other applications are an indication, boot is going to be slow (around a minute); Air's dependence on Flash will guarantee relatively slow performance. As you know, most other applications boot in seconds.
Your best solution would be to download the free part of the programs to determine if you find the performance acceptable.

How well does Compressor 4 work with Final Cut 6?

How well does Compressor 4 work with Final Cut 6?

The short answer is that there is no interoperability between them. Of course, you can certainly export a QT movie from FCP and bring it into C4.
Honestly, I'm not sure it's worth it for someone already has C3. There is very little that C4 can do that C3 cannot. The major differences are that C4 has certain presets like MPEG 4 h.264 and 1080 Apple TV; it can also create simple Blu Rays and DVDs. Qmaster is integrated, but I'm not sure whether that is a gain.

Was wondering how well does the 1Ghz titanium runs Leopard?

Hi
Could some one put up a youtube video of how well leopard runs on the last titanium g4?
I mean the minimum for leopard is 800mhz ... but how well does it actually run? is it worth purchasing leopard if you have 1Ghz?
Thanks
Chris

Hi, Nomad.c. How fast any OS runs on any computer is a lot more than you could reasonably expect to learn from any YouTube video.
We've seen posts here from people who had installed Leopard even on Tibooks that didn't meet the minimum processor-speed requirement of 867MHz (not 800MHz). They seemed to be happy with it by and large, but they may have had reasonable expectations going in. It won't be faster than what you're running now, but it will have some new features; you may or may not find them valuable. But you'd better have your Tibook's RAM maxed out at 1GB, because Leopard is much greedier for RAM than Tiger or Panther. That means if you use RAM-hungry applications on top of Leopard, you're going to make greater use of virtual memory than you have up to now, and VM is many times slower than real RAM.

Wondering how to create a text box with variables...

Hi everyone,
I was wondering how to create a text box, that at the beginning of the presentation, the audience fills in regarding what they think constitutes the role they have been chosen for.
I would like that same box to then appear at the end of the presentation, with the text they typed in at the beginning, so they can reflect on what they think now, and what they thought then. I understand this is done using variables, but i'm not 100% sure.
I hope I've worded this okay!

This screenshot shows the properties panel, Style tab for the TEB. I relabeled it to My_TEB, used the X button to create a user variable v_choice that will replace the generic Text_Entry_Box_1/
This is the properties panel of a Shape, I went in Edit mode (double clicking)to make the Character section appear, where you find the X button. It opens the dialog box 'Insert Variable' and you can choose the var associated with the TEB. The Maximum Length will define how many characters will be displayed, the value of a variable has maximum 256 characters.

How does the mac mini perform with cs5

Just curious
How does the Intel HD Graphics 4000 in the new mac mini perform with cs5 photoshop cs6 photoshop?
thanks
Ted

Jeff, I appreciate your comment, so you haven't had any problem with using the painttools in CS 6 photoshop and the 3d type etc, in other words all the features that CS6 photoshop has.
I was thinking about buying the mac mini but was concerned how it works with CS 5 (which I have) I will have to take another look at the MiniMac server with the 3000 card. I do a lot of Digital Painting primarily Painter 12.2 but and would like to use the Painter brushes in CS 5 ( have not upgraded to CS 6.) My Imac is 6 years old and really is not fast enough.
Thanks for replying
Ted

[SOLVED] Warcraft 3 (with Wine) does not work in Arch

Okay. I played a lot Warcraft III The Frozen Throne with Wine in Ubuntu. When I started to use Arch, of course I wanted to continue playing.
But, when I started the game for the first time it gets into main screen (with 800x600 resolution, it is default when you start the game for the first time, my xorg.conf supports it) but freezes after about 2 secs. And I have to kill X. But now it even does not start (it changes resolution from 1920x1200 to 800x600, but does not continue)! I'm using KDE4.1 - is this somehow related to nVidia driver bug (I'm using nVidia GeForce 8800 Ultra)?
Arch 64bit KDE4.1
Wine 1.1.3 (installed with this, but also tested this - same problem)
WC3 patched 1.22 - installed MS Visual C 2005 Runtimes in order to get it work (see http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p … n&iId=3126 )
I'm running the game from NTFS partition.
Edit: Tested with emulated desktop. Problem remains.
Edit2: Solved problem with 32bit Arch. Works like a charm!

I have (nLited) WinXP for games. But WC3 works fine with Wine, that's why I want to play it with Linux. It's faster just click a shortcut without rebooting.

I don't prefer consoles. And FPS games (which I play most) are crap on consoles.

Let me guess: You are using hardware acceleration set to "Emulation" and Driver emulation with alsa.
For some reason WarCraft III doesn't like those (Hardware acceleration in particular...) Set Hardware acceleration to Basic or Full and the game will launch...
It's set to "Full". And as I said, game launches but freezes after a few secs. But music continues even if a screen is frozen.

How do you run .exe files with wine by clicking on them?

Hi, I need help with using wine on mac osx. I used to use wine on Ubuntu and Linux Mint and it was relatively simple. But on mac osx, I used macports to dowload/install wine, and i used winecfg to create a prefix. I can not figure out for the life of me how to launch an executable by clicking on it. It opens in TextEdit instead of launching in wine. Can someone explain to me how to make a .exe file launch by clicking on it? Do i have to register the filetype with wine? Wine is not in a .app format. I can run any .exe in terminal but it is less than convenient. Thanks in advance.

So wrap Wine in an application, and bind the .exe's to the wrapper application.
Platypus (free download)
<http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19870>
Can be used to turn any Unix program or script into a double clickable application, as well as a drag and drop target application.
It should be possible to wrap Wine with Platypus.
As an alternative, you might try Applications -> Automator -> Run Shell Script workflow, and save that as an application. Then bind your .exe's to that workflow you created.
NOTE: I have not played with Wine, so your mileage may vary.

How can I get better performance with OSX on my iMac G3?

I just recently got a G3 iMac running at 400mhz with 512 mb of RAM, and it has OS 10.4.10. I am relatively new to Macs; its been a few years since I've used one.
So, it actually runs surprisingly well, but I'm wondering if theres a way to sort of tone the visuals to make it run a little faster. I loaded windows XP pro onto an older dell that I just had sitting around, and was able to tone down the visuals enough to make it run very well on a 500 mhz machine with 256 mb of RAM, so I'm sure if I can tone down XP enough for an old computer, I can do the same with OSX.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You are somewhat limited by the 400MHz processor speed. Increasing your RAM will be helpful. Look at these links

I am considering buying a new Macbook Pro 13" non-retina either the 2.5 GHz or the 2.9 GHz version to run Logic Pro X. My question is whether there is a noticeable difference in how well Logic Pro X works with the 2.9 GHz model vs the 2.5 GHz one.

Is there a noticeable performance improvement with running Logic Pro X on a 2.9 GHz model vs the 2.5 GHz one and yes I would have 8GB of RAM installed on the 2.5 GHz one if I were to buy it. Thanks!

My buying advice - the 'entry-level' new 15" MacBook Pro. Take a look at the specs. It's a wonderful machine - and you can upgrade RAM and HD to fit your needs without voiding the warranty. I don't know of any apps that I currently run that can't take advantage of the quad-core, and almost everything is 64-bit now.
I'd used the money you saved from not buying an out-dated 17" and put it into software. If you're transitioning from Windows that can add up quickly (which isn't to say you can't run your Windows apps using Boot Camp or a VM like Parallels.
Just my opinion - but if I could buy anything I wanted right now, I'd go with one of the upgraded 15" non-Retina MacBook Pros.

How can we improve query performance with out indexes?

Hello Experts,
I have a problem with table(calc) which contain 3 crore records and table doesn't have index, on that table one of the view(View_A) created.
When i use the view in below query SELECT count(*)
FROM
Table A INNER JOIN Table B ON (A.a=B.b)
LEFT OUTER JOIN View_A ON ( Table A.a=View_A.a)
LEFT OUTER JOIN View_B ON (Table A.a=View_B.a)
In above query View_A is causing the problem, view_A is created on Calc table. One more thing when i execute select statement on the view it was running fine.
With out View_A query fetching data fine. Update stats of the table also fine. When i run cost plan for scanning only cost % is 90.
Can any help me please?.
Thank you all.
Regards,
Jason.

Jason,
Not sure what you are trying to do. But outer joins are bad for performance. So try to avoid them.
You also say that you have a view on a calc table. What are you calculating? Are you using user defined functions maybe?

Nico

How well does iWorks 06 work with iLife 5?

I may not upgrade to iLife 6. I may upgrade iWork however. Apple recomends iLife 6, so I am interested if any users have it running on iLife 5. I would like to here about it.
Thanks Ed

I got both iLife 06 and iWork 06 today.
I've only experimented a little bit, but one thing I did check out was cut-and-paste from pages to iweb. For a table and a movie and an outline it worked very well. This may be useful.
Both pages 2.0 and iWeb are somewhat better than I had been led to believe.
Also, for me a big improvement in pages is that, when you export to pdf, web links remain intact. I'll certainly be using that.
