It seems that this is somehow related to ddraw async API and thread synchronization. Sometimes when I changed the synchronizing style I got a lockup almost instantly (like in Wine ddraw). Currently I think my code avoids this problem. Both games can run without using schedtool. Its worth noting this is also an issue on real Windows with multiple cores. The game occasionally freezes without setting one core affinity and/or setting win95/win98 compatibility mode (which probably also sets one core affinity). So, this is most probably related to Wine's current ddraw implementation and its async API not being thread safe. cnc-ddraw is still a work-in-progress. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 6181] C&C Cutsceens and Menus Run Slow
by wine-bugs＠winehq.org 05 Nov '10

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6181 --- Comment #21 from Toni Spets <toni.spets(a)iki.fi> 2010-11-05 10:46:19 CDT --- During my work on cnc-ddraw (https://github.com/hifi/cnc-ddraw) one of my goals was to fix this issue. It is true the game does a whole lot of front buffer locking when its drawing the menu. It also does that during the game but a lot less which makes the game somewhat playable on a recently powerful PC. What I did to address this was to create a separate drawing loop that flips the software surface to a OpenGL texture (or lately a real ddraw surface). This way the async API is fully asynchronous for the game, locks and unlocks are instant and it works very well. One problem was that the game worked too well, especially scrolling. Somehow in Red Alert the scrolling speed depends on how fast the game can Blt the whole scene on the screen. This issue was addressed by synchronizing Blt with a emulated vblank wait triggered by the drawing loop after each frame which can be limited to slow it down even further without affecting the visual quality. C&C has a bit newer drawing engine (the Windows port was done after RA) and it actually calls WaitForVblank which does a similar wait between frames drawn. Overall the results are enjoyable. The game runs fast with minimal flickering (if at all), scrolling works slow enough and some of the other bugs that affect this series are also avoided. So, what Wine needs is probably something similar to support the async API fully. cnc-ddraw is still a work in progress. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 3276] warhammer 40 k failed to initialize video card - Initialisation of Graphics driver fails in W40K: Dawn of War.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3276 --- Comment #30 from realdar(a)gmail.com 2010-11-05 10:24:33 CDT --- I have managed to solve this whilst looking at other threads. Turns out that the problem is to do with recognising the resolution of the macbook display. Emulating a virtual desktop solves the problem and the game runs fine, although there are a lot of missing folders which need to be manually created for the game to run. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 8107] Civilization 4 Warlords fails to start due to XML issues

It's checking for the dt:type of the node, which is supposed to be set by the XDR schema. Problem is, our msxml doesn't understand XDR schemas; it stores them in the cache, but doesn't actually use them. There are a couple of potential solutions... will have to think about it for a bit. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
