U wont be able to unzip it. Its only allowing ppl with winzip 9.0 to unzip it. I tried 8.1 but to no prevail. U cant install 9.0, suks ass. Sry man... just stop the download, I already posted a thread on the transgaming forums. No one could get it to unzip. By the way transgaming and blizzard are friends. :-/

cedega Installer.exe

the installer does not "install" and you just get a flashy non working menu for WoW.

I have downloaded wow beta version but it asks me to put the cd 1 and does not go further, I have some mpq files, what can I do with those?

m00mba · 11-27-2004, 05:17 PM

the beta is useless now, if you want do do anything you have to get the real game, right now im dual booting windows xp in order to play world of warcraft, im hoping it will work in linux soon.

So you mean to tell me that the beta version does not allows you to play anymore? I just found it by chance over the net and I am installing it right now as we write.

The beta ended over a week ago...

Anyone have retail working? I used mine off my Windows partition (just used Cedega on it), but I couldn't get a mouse cursor. This is a known bug and Transgaming has said so.

Edit: Apparently, OpenGL mode will fix the mouse problem?

I'm not sure, I don't yet have the game.

Beta did end, but the open beta client is the same as the retail. You can play WoW with the open beta client. You will have to create an account on the WoW website to play, and it does ask for a cd key.

Just wanted to add I couldnt get WOW working until I installed from windows then copied the whole directory over...

Now Im just trying to fix a mouse cursor issue but other ppl are having it too(http://transgaming.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=9030#9030)

I tried Cedega 4.2.1 and wow. It started quite well, but at certen occations the system hung (first time situation since I switched from Windblow$) At last it hung one time to much, resulting in a situation where all of my inodes were wiped, resulting in not finding any files on my disc.

I do have a better solution:

Cant be that hard to Find 20 000 gamers who wants to play World of Warcraft native under Linux?

SIGN!

SPREAD the word!!!

IMPORTANT:
TELL at least two friends to pass this action on!

(I got it running under Fedora Core 3 with Cedega 4.2.1, after my crash, I've hered that U should run 4.1 of Cedega when you run wow)
