Problem with WoW and Wine, spamming syslog and filling whole disk's space.

#1 Post by Basajaun »

Hello!

I am experiencing a very weird issue. My World of Warcraft client (WoTLK expansion) is spamming my /var/log/syslog, /var/log/messages and /var/log/user.log with the following:

Code: Select all

Oct  9 12:37:17 debian Wow.desktop[5274]: 0074:err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {bcde0395-e52f-467c-8e3d-c4579291692e} not registered

I am using Debian 11 Bullseye and Wine: wine-5.0.3 (Debian 5.0.3-3).

Not really sure what to do, I have tried to redirect it to > /dev/null but doesn't work. It actually filled my whole disk space in few days (almost 200GB...). I that is the only error I see, it does the same if I open it via terminal.

My launcher:

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Name=World of Warcraft
Exec=wine "/home/basajaun/Games/World of Warcraft - WoTLK/Wow.exe"
Icon=/home/basajaun/Pictures/DesktopIcons/WoW_icon.svg
Type=Application
Categories=Wine;

Any ideas? Thank you!

Found this with two clicks, hope it helps.

Hello!

Thank you for your answer. Yes, I have been googleing like crazy but haven't found anything helpful, unfortunately.

That one is the version 9.0 of the game, I am using the WoTLK (3.3.5a) which shouldn't have this known bug (It didn't happen on Debian 10 as far as I know).

Forgot to mention, in case it helps - the game works perfectly fine. Smooth and I can play without any problem, the issue is the crazy spam that makes my syslog, messages and user.log files be huge and fill my disk with 150 GB in just a couple of days.

Found a solution thanks to this: https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=35748

But, I am having a problem with the launcher, when I add here the WINEDEBUG=-all, the launcher stops working:

Code: Select all

Name=World of Warcraft
Exec=WINEDEBUG=-all wine "/home/basajaun/Games/World of Warcraft - WoTLK/Wow.exe"
Icon=/home/basajaun/Pictures/DesktopIcons/WoW_icon.svg
Type=Application
Categories=Wine; 
Any idea how to make the launcher work with the WINEDEBUG=-all?

Thanks!

Replace the command with a shell script which runs the command.

Thank you!

That worked. In case anyone needs something similar:

Code: Select all

Name=World of Warcraft
Exec=sh /pathtoyourscript/scriptname.sh
Icon=/home/basajaun/Pictures/DesktopIcons/WoW_icon.svg
Type=Application
Categories=Wine; 
And the script:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
WINEDEBUG=-all wine "/home/basajaun/Games/World of Warcraft - WoTLK/Wow.exe"

You don't need "sh" in the launcher if the script has executable permission.
But it gave me another idea : you could have used 'Exec=sh -c "command"' without a script.

i use wine-staging, but also with wine 4 or 5
i had never problems like that with this old versions
playing 3.3.5 7.35 and shadowslands on a private Server
that works great .

For shadowlands i have installed dxvk (over vesuv 1.2 as replacement for directx 12)
https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases
that does replace 4 files in u wine directory , und all was faster 40% (fps)

i think u has an error in general in u wine
install it new , incl . mono and gecko
