[Bug 47128] New: Heroes of the Storm: Unreasonable I/ O disk usage on leading to stuttering during game gameplay
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47128 Bug ID: 47128 Summary: Heroes of the Storm: Unreasonable I/O disk usage on leading to stuttering during game gameplay Product: Wine Version: unspecified Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: lukycrociato(a)gmail.com Distribution: --- This was experienced from me and a few people I play with on Linux + Wine Distribution: Ubuntu 19.04 Hardware: 19.04, the machine has an AMD Ryzen 5 1600 CPU, GTX NVIDIA 1060 3GB, 2x4GB dual channel DDR4 HyperX RAM, Crucial MX 500 SSD, MSI b350m mortar motherboard, nvidia driver 430.09 Wine version: Tested 4.6, and a couple of others leading pretty much the same results. What was tested: -Playing from an ntfs-3g partition on an HDD (Seagate 5200RPM) -Playing from an ntfs-3g partition on an SSD (Crucial MX500) -Playing from an ext4 partition on an SSD and HDD (the same as above) No matter what configuration, graphics driver, DXVK, wine d3d11 or not, using disk monitoring software like iotop clearly shows unreasonable I/O usage (close to 100%) when those stutters happen for small reads (less than 1 Megabyte) leading the game to be mostly unplayable thanks to those, which for example do not happen on other wine games with the same specs/config even more graphics-demanding. This happens during the normal gameplay, not during the loading. This is obviously worse when the game is run from an HDD, slightly better but still present on an SSD. Of course the I/O usage is different from the one Windows has in this game. I am obviously available for further testing if you tell me what to do to better diagnose that. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47128 --- Comment #2 from Matteo Bruni <matteo.mystral(a)gmail.com> --- Is the bulk of the stuttering limited to the first few seconds of the game, maybe related to the first time you get some hero on screen? I suspect the stutter is due to shader compilation / loading of compiled shaders from the shader cache. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

It's definitely not the first time since in all my testing, I made a custom game with the same charatchers and map, and those stutter still occurs (In reply to Zebediah Figura from comment #1)
And this does not occur on Windows?
Any clue what files are being read from/written to?
iotop was pretty generic, pointing only to the hots .exe wine process -- 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.
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47128 --- Comment #4 from Luca <lukycrociato(a)gmail.com> --- also, I enabled in the DXVK_HUD=compiler options to make it easier for me to check for shader compilation, those rarely occur in my testing, instead again the I/O spikes with the stutters are noticeably higher than the normal -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

Created attachment 64926 [details] NtPowerInformation() patch
Can you test if the attached patch makes a difference?
I could not test it since the wine version I built is buggy and does not even start the launcher, and faults the game executable (non-staging wine 4.12) Now I don't have the time to further testing, I will update this as soon I build it correctly -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

Ok so I managed to build a wine-staging package with that patch applied but it did not seem to make any difference Any way I can test for further understanding this problem? -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47128 --- Comment #9 from Luca <lukycrociato(a)gmail.com> --- I have an update on this, it's not wine-related. I reproduced the same environment using DXVK on Windows, and it lags the same, probably related to some sort of shader compile. So it's related to the game engine which behaves bad with Vulkan, I have to say it's the only game I know doing this -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
