[Bug 27896] New: Wine is too fast ;-)
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27896 Summary: Wine is too fast ;-) Product: Wine Version: 1.3.25 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: kernel32 AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: info(a)recover.eu When I launch Borland C++ 5.02, the "about dialog" contain a count timer in aim to control the speed of some printing in screen. But with my CPU, (final time - start time)= 0 then this result is use to divide a constant => "divide Error" My question, Is it possible to make wine running at a slow speed click time to avoid this problem? (I presume it should be used for some older games) In other word, Is it possible to virtualise the speed of processor in purpose to use older program? thanks. Stephan It would be cool to develop/maintain under wine rather windows... PS: I know is a older framework but... -- 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.

I've had success using cpulimit for this purpose. What behaviour does the program have when running under Windows on the same hardware? -- 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.

I've had success using cpulimit for this purpose. How does it work? where can I find this option? I hope this solve my problem ;-)

Under windows, it is not a problem because this "O.S." is so heavy and slowly that the difference between timestamp is different to 0, but, I think it could be a problem later also (but the microsoft team will find something to slow their OS. ;-) ). I think there is no behaviour under windows then, at term, if it work under wine if not we'll migrate the program C++ under a alternate framework thanks. Special thank to all developper of wine.

That explains nothing, please try to figure out how it works to get timestamps (API calls for example). This could be still a bug in Wine. -- 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.

I should have been clearer, it's an external tool (http://cpulimit.sourceforge.net). It's probably packaged for your distribution, it definitely is for Debian and Ubuntu and the man page describes how to use it. It may not work in your case, but I've had success with a game where sound plays far too quickly. It may not work in your case because the program works by constantly sending SIGSTOP and SIGCONST to the process, but to prevent your divide by zero error the process I believe it would need to be suspended between acquiring final_time and start_time, which might not happen. I agree with Nikolay, you shouldn't dismiss the possibility of this being a wine bug. -- 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.

The problem where in other place than I thought. Not in timestamps but in loading the police 'Courrier New','Arial','Time New Roman',... present in every windows OS and not by default in wine. When you install polices, IT works. cfr.
