Linux: Unofficial Fedora installation guide
-
Hi,
I can't start the game from the launcher. It always want to repair itself. I was able to start from the ascensionwow.exe, I could log in but when I choose the server I'd like to play, it stuck
-
@plyser94 this is exactly whats happening to me.
Kernel 5.18, Fedora 36 Wayland AMD cpu and gpu. Regular wow works just fine with bottles. -
I tried reinstalling a bunch of times and also fiddling with all provided options of installing. None quite worked.
However, thru Lutris it can be done hassle free and works like a charm. But it does require you to follow its exact instructions! Best of luck fellow Fedorians! -

Error "Update Ascension.exe" Fedora 36:
Due to the DNF repository changing some packages for the current Wine installation, there can occur an error that gamefiles are out of date, without a update being given by Ascension Launcher. This is due to the fact that Wine cannot fully run WoW in Fedora with the default settings provided by DNF.
To fix:
Remove all instances of wine and winetricks from the system. If asked, you can leave the prefix as it is.
sudo dnf remove wine winetricks
After this add the new repository for Wine:
sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/fedora/36/winehq.repo
Either use stable or staging. Staging has the best shot to be compatible with other system packages, as it uses newer packages then stable does.
sudo dnf install winehq-staging winetricks
Or:
sudo dnf install winehq-stable winetricks
Then follow the steps provided from step 2 in the original post and onward as usual. In case the system reports that something already exists, simply continue. If it still fails after these steps, please report in this thread.
I tested your guide, however getting the same crash as many others report. Launcher opens. you hit install and the launcher crashes and cannot continue. Works without a problem until you hit "install".
I'll gladly assist in any questions to find the problem!

I found an alternative way wich sadly involved distro hopping to Pop!_os I of course tried the same procedure on Fedora first but was unable to get it functioning.
Either you can do the same or perhaps the guide can help you find a solution:
