WoW and Wine Disaster

I managed to find means to fix it! Lemme detail it in case someone has this issue in the future.



I'm running on an intel graphics iMac.



Use Wineskin instead of the default Wine emulation.

Use Wrapper "Wineskin 2.6.2" and Engine "WS9Wine1.9.15".

Once the wrapper is installed, select to view your wrapper in finder. Right click and select "Show Package Contents".

Navigate to drive_c > Program Files

Move your Freedom installation into here

Navigate to the root of your wrapper and run the Wineskin in there.

Select "Advanced"

Beside Windows EXE, select "Browse" and navigate to your FreedomWoW.exe or whatever it's named. Whatever you name your default Freedom application,

At the bottom of the window, select "Set Screen Options"

On the bottom right, make sure all four boxes are checked (Use Mac Driver instead of X11, Decorate Windows, Auto Detect GPU Infor for Direct 3D, and Use Direct3D Boost if available)

Select Done

In the top, go to "Tools"

Run Config Utility (winecfg)

In the Applications tab that it loads by default, set your Windows version to Windows 7

In the Libraries tab, add the following overrides: d3dcompiler_43, d3dx9_43, wined3d-csmt

They should all be set to native, builtin

Select Okay

Test run to be safe!



Having Wineskin use the Mac Driver eliminates the "Your driver is out of date" error. Having those libraries <I><s></s>and<e></e></I> the 3D boost enabled allows the game to be run on ultra just as if I was playing on Windows.



Edit: You might want to move the wrapped up application from it's default directory or you might lose it. If it's still in the default directory and you do lose it, make a new wrapper and view it in finder.
