Wow black screen LINUX

[alexbn00]

I downloaded WoW Legion 7.2.5 torrent and the launcher, I run wine launcher_freakz.exe in terminal, the game "works" but i get black screen. I can hear the music but can't see nothing.
wine 1.8 on linux mint 18.3

Why would you run Wine 1.8?

Please, remove all of it (cleanly of course) and get a far more modern version off of https://www.winehq.org/

Ubuntu (Mint is Ubuntu-based) instructions can be found here: https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu

We're at version 4 of wine by now. 1.8 is FAR too old. No wonder you don't see anything, it simply cannot render whatever WoW is trying to do. Particularly not because by default, Legion will use DX11. Which 1.8 definitely did not support. For the record, once you do manage to get Wine 4 up and running, I can definitely recommend going into WoW's advanced settings and switching to DX9. Because DX11 support in Wine is not the best, even in Wine 4.

Just to illustrate, I am on Linux myself (Ubuntu MATE 18.04 with a customly spun kernel) and Legion is working fine for me with Wine 4.
