After upgrading the software (with yay -Syu) my computer last night, I'm unable to properly open/play World of Warcraft on my personal private server. Before the update, it was working flawlessly. Now, (see image) it appears the interface is "squished" and there's heavy visual artifacting

I play through Lutris, with the installer from "warmane" and "-opengl" as a command line flag. DXVK is disabled.

Arch Linux
Kernel 6.1.3-arch1-1
Wine 7.22
Mesa 22.3.2
Lutris 0.5.12
RX 580 (8GB)
Ryzen 7 3700X
32GB memory

#

Note as well, other games (team Fortress 2 is what I tested) play fine

why is dxvk disabled?

Since it's configured to use openGL (with -opengl flag), I figured it didn't need DXVK/relevant software around DirectX. Testing enabling DXVK, nothing changes on this.

removing the -opengl flag causes the game to crash on launch

Weird. Issue is resolved by disabling OpenGL and using Wayland rather than Xorg. Not sure what happened, but I'll take it. Thanks for making me think twice lol @normal dirge

well I wouldn't exactly consider it a solution, you should check if other opengl games have issues
