I would like to add the -opengl parameter to a file which is in

/home/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/WorldOfWarcraft/drive_c/Program Files/world of Warcraft/Wow.exe

Are you open it with Wine? – Dan Oct 15 '11 at 19:06

Go to your World of Warcraft wine drive folder, go to the WTF folder and then edit your config.wtf file and add this line at the end (or modify it if already exists): SET gxApi "opengl".

This will make your wow.exe use opengl everytime you run it.

I can help you with that :) Can you try to run the exact same thing on ubuntu-2d and tell me if anything changed? Also knowing your graphics card would be nice. – Bruno Pereira♦ Oct 15 '11 at 19:22

Very useful! A diferrent way is to create a DWORD key in CURRENT_USER/Software/Blizzard/Warcraft with the name "Afx OpenGL" and set it to 1. – Emerald214 Feb 18 '12 at 18:08

Open your Terminal, go to the directory where you have installed WoW, and run WoW.exe manually:

wine WoW.exe -opengl
