Hello!
After I installed WoW and applied the current patch, the rendering in cedega does not work correctly. When I log in, I can see the menu interface but the background is entirely black.
The in-game-rendering is not better: I am unable to see any objects or my character, but the landscape is rendered fine.
This problem does not occur with WarCraft III under Cedega or when I run WoW with Wine.
My system is Debian Lenny with the latest NVidia-Driver, the graphics card is a Geforce 7600 GS.

I had similar issues while playing with a widescreen resolution. The solution was to either turn off the full-screen-glow and death effects or set the resolution to something more boxy.

I tried 1024x768 and 1280x1024, but the issue stays.

By chance are you using a Radeon? This seems to happen when running in opengl mode on a Radeon, although for me I can't get it working in Wine either.
Edit: Oops I should've read more closely since you mention the Nvidia driver. That's what I get for working all night and only sleeping 4 hours I guess. Smile I am sort of relieved though to know that at least it's not my Radeon causing this.

Well as luck would have it I decided to sit down and pour through the WineHQ app database, and found this little tip that has things working for me at least in Wine. Try adding this to your Config.WTF:
SET M2UseShaders "0"

The game runs just fine with wine, setting the parameter does not change anything for cedega.

I've the same problem, no objects are rendered, but I can see the shadows of them, I'm currently running wow with wine because of this issue.
My Graficcard is a Geforce NX8600GT, I'm running Ubunty 7.10 with a 2.6 32bit kernel on a x86 processor (amd x2 64 5200+).
I tried if it would work with differnent ingame grafik settings, but it didn't help,

I was having this same problem. No characters were loading, just their shadows...
I usually run WoW without sound, not because it is deactivated, but because if I open the game while something else is using the sound card (xmms or whatever), WoW just has no sound (yes, I dont have Arts set).
Anyway I found out if I let WoW take use of the sound card, the problem goes away...
Hope it helps somebody

I am playing in widescreen and those features work just fine for me (though I don't usually play with full-screen-glow since it looks like crap and ruins the detail of the graphics.) I am using Cedega 6.0.5 and D3D mode.
