(Get the code!)
I use FreeBSD 8.1 amd64
As of this morning World of Warcraft 3.3.5a still crashes right after login.
Alexander said this in a earlier comment:
WoW uses opcode 0xf1 (icebp) and expects to see a single step exception,
probably as a way to detect hardware debuggers. With the kernel change icebp is
no longer raising a SIGTRAP since it doesn't set any dr6 bits, so WoW doesn't
get its exception.
I have been playing World of Warcraft on FreeBSD amd64 since December of 2009
using the beta Nvidia 64bit drivers and this wine how-to
http://
I can verify that on PCBSD 8.1 RC1 32bit World of Warcraft works post 3.3.5
so far as I can tell it is only broken on amd64.
I posted this problem to the FreeBSD hackers mailing list, and someone quickly replied, that the icebp single step exception works on FreeBSD 8 stable
does anyone have any ideas as to why, FreeBSD amd64 crashes and i386 does not?
icebp generates the SIGTRAP on latest 8-stable, verified
by the following trivival assembler program:
.text
.globl main
main:
.byte 0xf1
xorl %edi,%edi
call exit
Thank you for your help
