[Bug 2056] Dominions II Demo Does Not Do Full Screen Correctly

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2056 ------- Additional Comments From lionel.ulmer(a)free.fr 2005-09-04 11:12 ------- Well, this is the classical problem with Windows SDL games and Wine. Basically, whatever the application requests, SDL initializes DInput (which makes the mouse wrap due to relative mouse movements emulation). After, if the game only requires absolute coords, SDL does not 'ungrab' the mouse but rather uses standard Win32 APIs to get the position. This is not supported in Wine (yet). If I find out how to get the game to even start, I may try to take a look at it, but I do not promise to find a way that pleases AJ (as it may be a bit of a hack in the X11DRV). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.

[Bug 2853] World of Warcraft Experiencing Severe Buffer Underruns
by Wine Bugs 08 Apr '05

08 Apr '05

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2853 ------- Additional Comments From nbetcher(a)mchsi.com 2005-08-04 15:40 ------- I would disagree with the goals remark, here's why: Cedega's goal is to run games, mainly, and the applications that support them. WineHQ's goal is to run all Windows applications, libraries, and possibly down the road allow for expanding to other things like drivers, etc. Cedega's goal is with-in WineHQ's goal. I would, say, for example, agree with you if WineHQ's goals were to only run games and the applications that support them, and Cedega visa-versa. When I received comments such as the ones I have made when I was an unpaid open source developer, I would give the same responses I have received. The responses are all valid and I respect them. The biggest problem, though, in this situation is that we do know that a clean (non-kernel, non-real-time priority) solution exists. I downloaded the source to aRts (the sound server for KDE, as I'm sure everyone knows already) and modified the file soundserver/artswrapper.c to work with wine. Unfortunately it seems there is some kind of a problem as it's not able to get real-time support from the kernel (or whatever gives real-time priority). Obviously this wouldn't be a permanent fix, but it would (to some extent) excersize the theoretical "fix" that was posted on wine-devel. The question with that fix though is: Cedega doesn't require root privilages after install (e.g. run-time), nor does it require the SUID=0 bit. This proves to me that there IS another option. I wish I had more knowledge of sound servers, buffers, and all of the various audio I/O stuff so that I could help, but I don't. (It would be nice if Stefan [Westerfeld] from the aRts project could investigate this since this used to be more of a problem with aRts back in the KDE 2.x days) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2853 ------- Additional Comments From lionel.ulmer(a)free.fr 2005-08-04 14:09 ------- Well, I think it's just that Wine's and Cedega's goals are different (or rather the goal of the Cedega developpers and Wine's 'unpaid' ones). While Cedega developpers do their code to please their clients (so that they keep being subscribed), Wine developpers do it for their own reasons. So even if a Wine developper may know how to fix the issue, he may not do it just, for example, if he does not finds the solution clean enough or too hacky. I.e. he would think 'well, we need this and that feature from the kernel so that Wine can implement this thread prioritisation feature properly' and not take the time to implement a hacky way that would maybe only fix one special case to make some gamers happy. And I do not know if they have an AJ on board that only accepts 'nice and clean' patches to the tree or if they put 'it's ugly but if fixes application X' patches in their trees :-) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
