Editing Installing WoW under Wine (section)

===Obscuring polygons and rays===
* wow 5.0.4yum install wine-1.5.17-1.fc17.i686
* wine 1.5.11
* fedora 17
* run launcher, it says game is up to date, click play or start with Wow-64.exe
* when walking on dirt in ogrimmar, there are lots of obscuring polygons and rays that shift with your point of view
* walking on rock or grass, there are no weird polygons
* PC characters are solid black, NPCs render properly

I tried making the suggested video settings:
<pre>
If you find see a lot of black dots and lines all over the screen, go to Options -> Graphics and set:

Liquid Detail: Fair (or lower)
Sunshafts: Disabled
SSAO_Label: Disabled

Alternatively, you can do regedit and add the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D\AlwaysOffscreen set to "enabled"

But those changes did not correct the display glitches or make any visible difference.

After starting with Wow-64.exe and then trying to go back to using Wow.exe or World\ of\ Warcraft\ Launcher.exe, I now get a crash 5 seconds after picking a character.

==== wine ./Wow-64.exe -opengl ====
When I start the game with this switch, I am able to log in, and the initial display of my character standing in Ogrimmar displays, but does not update.  I hear environment sounds but after about 5 seconds of a static display, wow crashes with a memory access violation.

Starting a different character gets to a similar spot.  The character logs in but can't move and then a crash.
