X-Fi and Wolrd of Warcraft

I have a problem after i bought and installed the F-Xi. About every sec i have a very bref frezz i WoW. I have never before had this kind of frezz problem i WoW, but after i installed the F-Xi it's there. I tried installing different drivers for the F-Xi but it keeps frezzing every sec. I have also tried a fresh installation of my computer 2 times and only installed Windows XP SP2, drivers and WoW, but the problem seems to stay. If i install my computer without the F-Xi card in my computer, there is no problem at all.
Its frustrating to play WoW with the constant bref frezz every sec and it totaly ruins all enjoyment in playing. It also make my head heard so plz help me find a solution so i can get back to enjoying WoW with the F-Xi installed. I had the same problem with my old SB Li've! 5. Gold edition, thats the reason for buying the new F-Xi.
My spec is:
Athlon 64 3500+
ASUS A8N-SLI
GeForce 6600 GT
2x55 MB DDR 3200 RAM
2x20GB SATA disks in raid
PSU 480W

Windows 7 and World of Warcraft

Hi, I built a new computer in June 2010. The specs are ASUS M4A785-M AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 785G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard, LOGISYS Computer PS575XBK 575W ATX12V SLI Ready Power Supply, AMD Athlon II X2 245 Regor 2.9GHz Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Desktop
Processor ADX245OCGQBOX, PQI TURBO 4GB (2 x 2GB) memory. I purchased Windows 7 home premium as well. My first graphics card was a Sparkle Geforce 9400 GT, this card when playing warcraft would make my whole system crash to a blue screen, I thought it might
be the card so I recently purchased a Sapphire Radeon HD 5570 1GB DDR3 PCIe 2.1, when I insalled this new car warcraft now crashed to a black screen then comes back and continously does this. I thought it was maybe an issue with the Windows 7 home, so I tried
a copy of Windows 7 Professional and it did the same thing. I reformatted again and am now running Windows XP and the video card runs great, however I'm missing the Directx 11 video quality. Does anyone have any suggesions as to what may be causing the graphic
card issues with Windows 7 and any fixes? Thanks!

Vist Basic & XFI, random loss of sound and World of Warcraft Hardware enabling iss

Hello.. First off want to say that prior to reinstalling Vista last week, I had no had any issues with my XFI and Vista.. Since the re-install, while running World of Warcraft and Ventrillo, I get random loss of sound. And by that, specifically I mean, the sound shuts off, and I get a constant loud hiss noise that does not stop until a reboot is performed. If I just run WoW and no Ventrillo, I dont get the random problem and the sound runs fine. It is however a highly annoying issue that requires too many reboots in evening. Getting to the point of just trying the onboard sound, which I'd certainly rather not do.
Additionally there is an option in WoW that allows for Hardware enabling, which is supposed to improve performance. When I check this box and restart the game, the box is still not checked. Not sure if this is a CL problem, but something is wrong for sure! I'm using the latest drivers that are on creativelabs.com for my Vista 32 bit system. And again, didnt have these issues prior to the fresh re-install of Vista. Before that I had stepped up the drivers all the way from Vista. Thanks for any feedback on this.

Not sure why your sound is cutting out... but as for WoW, it needs ALchemy installed to run with hardware audio enabled under Vista. I dont believe its in the list of titles included with ALchemy just yet, but adding it manually with the default options works just fine. Without doing this I believe the new sound core used in WoW will automatically detect that it cannot do hardware audio and simply uncheck the box whenever you try, where-as before it would work but still give you Software rendered sound (only instead of WoWs audio engine doing it, it was Vistas - not exactly an improvement). Incidentally, this not only improves performance but vastly improves the sound quality - especially when excessive numbers of sounds are being played. (eg Mass AoE effects on larger numbers of mobs, such as two Warlocks Hellfiring along with a Hurricane and Consecration while pulling the Ballroom - 9 mobs per group - near Moroes in Karazhan) Its possible doing this may also correct your cut-out issue, but its possible it wont. Ive been running WoW alongside Vent for months now under Vista w/ALchemy and an X-Fi and never had such a problem, but then I do also run Vent off the onboard audio so I can use a small earpiece and have voices clearly audible through game sound.

Airport Express and World of Warcraft

Hello!
I'm currently having issues running World of Warcraft off of my Airport Express. When I try to log into WoW, I get a connecting... message until the client times out, and I get the unable to connect message. However, if I then leave the WoW app, I come back into Windows, and my wireless internet connection is completely shut down. I have to go back in and reconnect to the airport to gain a signal again.
Has anyone heard of this issue?

Hi, I don't really have a solution to your problem, but I can confirm that I'm not having the same problem. I can stream 128 Kbps tunes to Airport Express and my latency only goes from ~54ms to ~62ms, so not much effect. Are you trying to stream very high bitrate songs (like uncompressed)? I thought I read somewhere that the Airtunes function downsampled everything to 128 for transmission, but I'm not sure about that. Also, I'm running my network in 802.11b-only mode (not g), and I have Robustness turned off. When Robustness was on, the connection seemed flakey (not with WoW, just in general), so I turned it off and it's been fine.

ITunes 7 and World of Warcraft issue

It seems upgrading to iTunes 7 has a funky effect on World of Warcraft. While trying to play iTunes in the background and playing World of Warcraft the sound speeds up and slows down, skipping around and is completely horrible to listen to. With iTunes 6 I had no problems listening to great music while playing WoW. Anyone else have a similar issue. Nothing else has changed hardware or software wise since the 'upgrade' from iTunes 6 to 7. I have no way of narrowing down the issue but its definately something that iTunes 7 is doing as nothing else has changed. Any chanages to duel-core processor support by chance? Anyone else getting this or similar issues while using iTunes while playing games?

It seems to be a problem with iTunes and many other applications, not just World of Warcraft. Here's a post from the WoW tech support forum about it:
http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=27723502&sid=1
There's a setting you can adjust in WoW's configuration file that works for some people, but not for everyone.

In the meantime, we wait for Apple to fix their music player.

10.5.4 and World of Warcraft

Since the 10.5.4 update WoW performance has deteriorated with graphical artifacts becoming common and even lower framerates than the .5.3 update. I've tried posting on the Blizzard forums but no-one else has replied but I'm sure I cannot be the only Mac WoW user experiencing these problems. I'm not sure if this problem persists among other games but hopefully other users will be able to verify it. Does anyone know for a reason for this and if/ when it's going to be resolved?

I likewise have been having the same issue. On 10.5.3 it ran smooth as silk. Now that I've dutifully updated to the latest and greatest 10.5.4, WoW is UNPLAYABLE. It's fine for anywhere from 10 to 30 min, then it suddenly drops from 30 - 60+ fps to 1 - 4 with an ensuing general lockup of the entire system necessitating a cold restart.
My latency remains at about 55 - 80ms, I can still hear sounds or iTunes playing int he background. If I'm able to Quit out of WoW I'm fine, but if not the machine is useless.
If it's any help to anyone, I can post segments of the console output pertaining to WoW during some of my failed attempts to play WoW.
This really is a drag since I've just converted to mac from almost 20 years of pc use. Making me wonder if I made the right move :/

Flash Player and World of Warcraft.

Hey, I don't know if anyone else is having this issue, but everytime I have anything that uses Flash Player opened or minimized and I open WoW, it makes my display drivers stop working and sometimes makes my computer restart.
I have the lastest version of Flash and newest vid card drivers, and i've recently did a fresh format or my system. I'd llike some help, if there's any to give on this topic.
Thanks.

It sounds like something might be conflicting with your video card. What type of card do you have? If possible, post back with your dxdiag report and I'll take a look.
You might also want to try disabling hardware acceleration for Flash Player to see if this stops the crashing. This will cause Flash Player to revert to CPU mode, so expect additional cpu usage.
How do I disable or enable hardware acceleration?

FiOS and World of Warcraft...Port Forwarding Issue

So for some reason ever since I got FiOS I havent been' able to connect to WoW. Last night I tried to tackle the problem. I following the directions on portforward.com to forward the port in my router. I set it up but when I try to check for the open port via a port check website is says the port ISNT open.
I am using an iMac G5 with a Westel router. anyone else experience this problem? If so how did you fix it. I called Verizon support and was informed that 'port forwarding is unsupported and we won't help you'
About ready to cancel FiOS and go back to cable.

#1 Are you trying to connect to other users OR are you trying to allow other users from the net to connect to you?
#2 Which port checker site did you use?
#3 I know that it did not say open OR Success. What did it say?
#4 What is security level of the router set to? In the guides for that router, they show typical (medium).

Mac Pro - crashed and now won't start up, stripes on screen + kernel panic?

My computer apparently crashed while the screensaver was up (I was away for 10 or so mins, just Firefox and World of Warcraft in windowed mode running), as it was showing a black screen with a fuzzy whitish line along the top and was completely unresponsive. Unusual, but nothing to freak out about.. right?
So I did the on switch turn off/turn on routine and as soon as anything shows on the screen, I've got these black + white horizontal bars/stripes along the top 1/4 of my screen. The Apple Logo and the spinning progress bar have little fuzzy red spots on 'em. That's when it's time to freak out, as we're in "my computer done broke itself" territory. A few seconds of fuzzy progress bar and we get the wonderful "You need to restart your computer" message.
Fine.. restart.. same thing.
Reset the PRAM and SMC. Same thing.
Can't start up from external disks.. it just gives the same stripes + message.
I'm running a detailed hardware test (the hardware test loads but with the same stripes at the top and annoying blue/red vertical ones in the background to boot), and it's been running for about 80 minutes and is only 60% of the way through.
Anything else I can do, or do I have to drag the heavy thing to an Apple store and leave it there for a month? How in the world does a computer go from "working fine" to "completely broken" in 10 minutes?

More details:
The regular/non-extended Hardware Test returned no problems, despite taking hours for what was supposed to be a 3-5 minute test. I haven't dared run the extended.
I also tried removing third-party RAM and using the original configuration, then just the third-party and no Apple, etc.. It's not the RAM, as the problem is exactly the same.
I'm going to call up Apple support when I can, but just looking for other things I can check or possibly do until then, or just insight on what the problem could be.
Is it most likely the graphics card? Could it be an issue with the core hardware?

Latest ATI + Xorg 1.6 + World of Warcraft = black screen

The title sums it up. I've managed to get my 4870 ATI card working with the latest drivers from yaourt (catalyst+catalyst utils, using the drivers released from ATI on the 17th). Since this is a clean install I have the latest kernel and latest xorg, both from the official repository. Everything works fine, normally, including native opengl gaming.
After having installed wine and World of Warcraft I can't seem to make it beyond the login screen, which is completely black. Black screen. Blank screen.
I've attempted to run it in opengl mode through wine AND through the flag 'wine WoW.exe -opengl' and both yield the same black screen.
If I run it as -d3d it'll work just fine if I make sure to uncheck pixelshaders from winecfg, although the fps is terrible, <5fps.
Thoughts on why opengl gives me just a black screen? I remember having to remove libgl before installing catalyst-utils, since it supposedly had it's own libgl built into it.. but I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it. Also, every so often the clinet window won't even open for the opengl mode, finishing with this:

So, I'm up for advise and tips. I've followed every wiki and Config.wtf that I've found. So throw it at me: What logs do you need to see, what ideas do you have, and what information do you need to know?

im bumping this cause im experiencing a very similar issue, with simcity 4, and arch 64.
i have all the 'proper' lib32 libs installed (afaik), and i still get that error. interestingly, i also experience opengl related issues using bin32-zsnes, but they are *very* different (in a nutshell, my whole system hangs when i try to change the resolution of an opengl "mode" to another, compositing enabled or not)..
i think ill read up on that whole chroot method that might be a better alternative .. see if it fixes anything, maybe thats the problem.
such errors about wine and glxbaddrawable errors are all over the internet but nothing is ever mentioned about whether its a 64 bit linux installation using 32 bit wine or not ..

Kernel-lts and nvidia

Hello fellow Archies,
I'm trying to set up the proprietary nvidia X module on kernel-lts (2.6.32-15). The reason is that World of Warcraft had a recent patch that adds something related to debugger obfuscation, causing it to crash in wine on kernels later than 2.6.32. My two favorite computing things are programming and World of Warcraft, so I was wondering how I could about using the nvidia driver on kernel-lts?
I have tried the nvidia-all package on AUR. It did not build a module.

karol wrote:Have you tried booting w/ the fallback kernel + playing WoW?
I have now. It seems to have fixed the problem.
Out of curiosity, could you explain how the fallback kernel works?
EDIT: I must have gotten lucky with that run, because now it's crashing at the same point as before even on fallback.

Random Shut down and restart

Hello.
My dual 800 MHZ G4 has started randomly restarting and shutting down. Sometimes is stays on for hours, other times for minutes. After the restart, it goes through a series of "bongs" as if I were Zapping the PRAM.
Here are the system specs.
Dual 800 MHZ G4
768 MB RAM
OS 10.3.9
PCI card that allows 2 additional hard drives to be installed internally. And 2 drives connected to it.
Apple Keyboard.
Microsoft Intellimouse
Viewsonic monitor
The current software configuration is, Standard clean install of OSX 10.3.9 and, World of Warcraft
No other software on machine.
Things I've already tried.
Replacing the PRAM battery
Clean format and install of OS.
Pressing the little black reset button on the main board.
Your first question is probably going to be, "What has changed since it last worked?"
Answer, nothing. There have been no hardware or software changes to the machine in over a year. I formatted the drive and installed OSX and Warcraft so my wife could have a machine to play on. It worked fine for months, then, BAM. Restarts and random intervals. I reformatted and installed again, same problem.
Keeping this machine running is vital. As long as she can play Warcraft, I can play Warcraft.
Thanks in advance for any help.

My apologies, I guess there's some validity to that.
Reporting back, safe mode didn't work, so no the downloaded app I guess.
Right now testing removing SIM, if this doesn't help, then last test will be removing SD.
Thanks y'all . Will keep updating.

Browsers and msn does not want to acces the internet

I'm using a WRT54G Wireless router, my pc's connected by a wire and my laptop is connected wireless. Everything was working fine till I decided to reset the router back to factory standards because I forgot my password to acces my router settings page. Now some programs can still acces the internet, like skype and world of warcraft, While other programs like my browsers, msn and almost everything else doesn't want to connect to the interet.
Also I can't view the folders I share on my network.
Can anyone help me out here?

Did you reconfigure the router again? Check the DNS servers assign to the PC, make sure it is public DNS. Do a MAC clone on the router and power cycle, try to ping to the DNS server assign to PC. If you can ping to DNS and still could not access web pages, reset the winsock or run winsockfix on your PC.

World of Warcraft graphics distortions - HP Envy 14 (Radeon HD 5650)

Hi all,
I'm having trouble with my HP Envy 14 and World of Warcraft. As you can see from the screenshot below, I'm getting a lot of graphics/texture distortion when I'm in certain parts of the game world.
I've been poking around trying to discover the source of the problem and I've tried nearly everything Blizzard suggests in their help database. I'm suspecting that this is a graphics driver issue, but my driver for my ATI/AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5650 is up to date (driver version: 8.741.1.3000). I've tried installing the most recent drivers from ATI/AMD's site, but it won't install, saying that I need to contact my laptop manufacturer for the most recent drivers.
Is this a case of being stuck waiting for the laptop manufacturer to take the newest first party drivers and update them for their machines? Are there any alternatives? Am I even on the right track here?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Bjorn

I have this exact same issue, verbatim. I was experiencing it before 4.0.3 came out and I figured it was due to some driver issues (as I'd messed around with my drivers so much). Recently though, I got an SSD and freshly installed Windows 7, including the latest drivers, and everything had been working fine until this morning, when the problem started again. I haven't installed anything new, haven't altered the drivers, etc. I don't know what it could be. Perhaps it could be hardware related?
Anyways, typing "/console fixedfunction 1" into your chat and then rebooting the game will fix the issue, but it will do so by disabling your shaders and reduce your fps by about 5 or so. So it's a trade-off. Not the most desirable workaround. I'm hoping HP pushes some not-crappy drivers soon (unlikely), and that it isn't failing hardware...
