There were mouse input issues on WineHQ 2.10.
I played WoW with WineHQ 2.11(both master and staging) and i3wm on Arch Linux 64bit successfully with no issues. I used both community updated version of the client and original. Default settings were sufficient.
The following is the overview of the steps I usually perform to install the game.
If installing with an image.
```
sudo umount /mnt/iso/
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/iso/
sudo mount -o loop /mnt/iso/ <myiso>
cd /mnt/iso/
mkdir -p ~/var/wine/wow/
WINEPREFIX=${HOME}/var/wine/wow/ wine setup.exe
```
After installation is complete, adjust the realmlist.
To run the game (assumes default installation directory on 64bit wineprefix).
```
cd ~/var/wine/wow/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/WoW
WINEPREFIX=${HOME}/var/wine/wow/ wine Wow.exe
```
Running from a repack will only require to run the game. The wine prefix will be created automatically.
step 1. download client on warmane
step 2. install wine
step 3. run wow.exe with wine
there you go you can play WoW on linux
Linux preformance in wow > Windows preformance in wow.
which Wine version are you using? I am on wine-4.0.4 and I am getting errors "*** stack smashing detected ***: <unknown> terminated" all the time
I had no issues using the 5.0 version released recently and before that I used some 4.X version right before they released 5.0.Quote:

Explanation: Set-up a 32-bit Wine prefix. This creates a fresh new 32-bits wine prefix at the folder ~/.wine32. 'wineboot' forces the 1st startup and registry configuration:
What to do? Run this command on terminal
$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 wineboot
STEP 2
Explanation: Install lastest Direct-X 9.0c end-user runtime library.
2.1 Downolad at: https://web.archive.org/web/20201216...010_redist.exe
2.2 Extract and install.
STEP3
Explanation: In-game perfomance check. Depending from your PC perfomance, you may want to use WoW335a in OpenGlide instead of DirectX. It depends from your gfx board, drivers etc.
What to do?
3.1 Start the client with the following command:
$ wine wow.exe -opengl
3.2 If it works better than DirectX (no missing textures, FPS drop), make it work permanently with OpenGlide, by adding or add a lua command on "WoW folder/WTF/Config.WTF" fie:
SET gxApi "opengl"
