Wow Forum: ATi minimap bug is back on Linux - Image 1

Aigarius posted the bug he encountered when playing World of Warcraft. Being a Linux and ATi card user, he mentioned that whenever he would enter the world the new PTR build would crash. In fact, he was able to post the exact error message that pops up with it.

This was the exact message that would show up whenever the game would crash:

ERROR #0 (0x85100000) Assertion Failure
Program:    C:Program FilesWorld of WarcraftWoWTestWoW.exe
File:    .MinimapFrame.cpp
Line:    1579
Expr:    !("CGMinimapFrame::Initialize(): can't get render target for minimap")

WoWBuild: 7948
Realm: Test Server (US PVE) [12.129.237.75:3724]
Local Zone: Netherwing Ledge, Shadowmoon Valley
Local Player: Unknown, 000000000059438B, (-5160.65,-59.6405,75.1156)
Add Ons: Blizzard_FeedbackUI


Being an official representative of Blizzard, blue poster Hortus commented on this. He said, "
We do not support WoW on Linux in any way, and we do not do any testing on Linux. We're not going to prevent you from using WoW with Linux but you are on your own if you choose to do so."

It might not be the reply people would be hoping for but at least they were able to know what stand the company has taken regarding this matter. Well, we'll keep you guys posted for more updates on the game
