Title: WoW with Wine and PlayOnLinux
Post by: 2r on January 28, 2021, 09:22:15 PM
I tried to install as non-listed game, wine-version: 5.0-3ubuntu1. POL creates the desktop shortcut...

If i start, wine says: Blizzard Background Downloader: Data for the next patch is not available.

The Terminal shows:
Code: [Select]

  Looking for python... 3.8.5 - skipped
Looking for python2.7... 2.7.18 - wxversion(s): 3.0-gtk3

I would like to play it without those big platforms, i'm not pro, but i hope there is a possibility to work around the problem.
