Turtle WoW on Linux + Tips and Tricks 🐢

In this guide, I'll show you how to get Steam, Proton-GE, Add-ons to help you while you quest, vanilla tweaks to improve the 1.12.1 client run better, install the HD mods to make the game look more modern, and finally I'll show you the Add-on I've been working on that brings the look and feel of Dragonflight to Turtle WoW.

my God, thank you VERY much for making this video. Ive been struggling to install Vanilla Tweaks on my mac for months, so glad I came across this.

Hey dude! Been gaming on Windows ever since I was a kid, during XP era. Recently decided to give Linux a shot and was blown away how smooth everything is. Only reason why I still have Windows 10 dual booted on my PC is because I can't get my steering wheel to work on Linux, alongside some other software, but I digress.

No matter what I did on Windows, my Turtle WoW client didn't run well at all. I had some weird stretched aspect ratio, game was stuck on 60hz, it was stuttery even on low settings, and not a single fix from TWoW's guide worked. Once I got the game on Linux following your guide, everything works smooth as butter.

Thank you for your time, this tutorial, and your work on tdf. You are awesome.

Sweet action dude. Saved my butt. 1st patch now called " Patch Z" btw.

[CatEarDad]

Now I know vanillatweaks works on Linux. Thanks!

[jwizzlah]

This addon is incredible you’re amazing

[Rich-can-do]

I have linux Mint and trying to get turtle wow to work. It runs but all I see is unknown and I can't exit the game or talk to any NPC

First off, thank you for the guide. Secondly, I'm having two issues: -whenever I move the camera, the terrain texture moves with the camera (i recorded this and uploaded it. It's on my channel if you need to see what I'm talkin bout).- And the second issue is sometimes when I close Turtle-WoW, my mouse cursor disappears from my screen until I logout and log back in. Again, thanks for the guide, easy to follow video
EDIT: the latest GE Proton was causing the texture issue, currently using Ge-Proton7-5 and it’s fixed!

OMG Dragonflight UI is so much cleaner than OG WoW's UI, I might donwload this when I play Turtle WoW again.... while making sure to restrain myself on Addons....

[ExelArts]

my bags and micro menu are all behind my ability bar how do i move them. also my mini map is in the middle of the screen. they moved the moment i used the ui scale to make them smaller

When I go to add a non steam game and select the same file/exe, it doesnt add anything, it just closes the search and doenst do anything sadly =(

[elgrinch]

Perdon no hablo ingles, pero gracias por tu video me ha sido muy util, ahora una consulta para instalar el launcher que acaba de lanzar Turtle Wow, como se tendria que hacer por que no logro que me funcione, te agradeceria mucho si pudieras explicar que proceso hay que realizar.

[zsoltsiro]

strange on my end i cant see the damage i do on the enemy portrait and my health is shown only in % not actual numerical values, can anyone help me out?

[mattyprime]

The Pally aura bar sits over action bar left and right. How can I fix this?

[costelinha]

Actually, you can scroll up and down on vanilla UI as well, but I think it's a bit inconsistent there? as sometimes it works for me, and sometimes it doesn't.

[mattyprime]

What nameplates do you suggest for this? The default TW ones are insane and massive.

[liongazelle]

When i do the commands for the vanilla tweaks it ask me what app it needs to utilize.. am i doing something wrong??

[Rich-can-do]

What version are you running? I could run 1.12 without issue, but 1.17 lots of problems and not usable. On MintLinux

[Rich-can-do]

I have been playing turtle wow on wine with a nvidia card, but I had to use the open driver, not that normal nvidia one. This is not great, but I dont know why? Seems like the driver and turtle wow dont get on for me. Any tips would be great ty.

I'm only getting error messages when doing exactly the same. I've tried on both Nobara and Mint.

It was working via steam earlier, now not even that works


Error is 132, can't access area Z:

[Ham-ozce]

It's a good tutorial but why do you need to use steam? I use wine only and it works fine. Does the steam with proton-ge have any improvements then?
