Hi, after trying to setup WoW 3.3.5 on Ubuntu with this, the game runs but it's extremely low, and even though I've added dxvk.hud = full to both the game script and dxvk.conf, the HUD doesn't appear in game.

I'm lost, but I feel like I failed to make DXVK work correctly on my setup, and the game tries its best to work nonetheless (at very low FPS).

Try to launch with the hud env var instead. DXVK_HUD=full

Edit: Though i see the launch script on that page already set fps to show with the env var.
What GPU do you have and driver? Would need some logging to see what is going on.

Edit 2: According to that launch script it creates a log file at $HOME/Games/wow-debug.log with $HOME being your users home folder

I've got an RX 580. ubuntu-drivers devices and ubuntu-drivers list show nothing.

(didn't want to mark it as completed sorry, if somebody can reopen)

Need logs. I am not familiar with Ubuntu

In the launch script change export WINEDEBUG=-all to export WINEDEBUG=+loaddll and post a new log.

Either you didn't install any DXVK dlls or you didn't set d3d9 to native in winecfg. The guide you followed is quite outdated, the setup_dxvk.sh script it tells you to run for ancient dxvk 2.5 doesn't even exist anymore in the latest versions, among some other questionable things in there.

I absolutely did not do any of those things.

I'll try this, thank you very much

Honestly just follow the how to use guide from the readme https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk#how-to-use and then run the game with wine WoW.exe, I don't think anything else should really be necessary.

Make sure you didn't set graphics API to opengl.in config.wtf either, but that entire guide is very pointless. Just dl wow client, add wow exe as a non steam game in steam, right click options use steam play compatibility and then use proton 9 or if you want to use latest proton use software cursor
