[Bug 9910] New: Interaction delay in menus while searching for missing files (CNC: The First Decade CD games)
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9910 Summary: Interaction delay in menus while searching for missing files (CNC: The First Decade CD games) Product: Wine Version: CVS/GIT Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: wine-files AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: winehq(a)gringer.dis.org.nz Created an attachment (id=8405) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=8405) Clicking on 'OK' button (just before the delay) while playing Red Alert There is a very noticeable delay in menu repaints (and sound stutters during this) when navigating menus in C&C:TFD games. During the delay, the mouse cursor location does not update, and there are graphical effects that I would typically associate with a slow repaint. I disabled sound and the problem still occurred. Looking at the error logs, the cause of this is likely due to files not being able to be found. I've attached two screenshots (for both Red Alert and Command & Conquer) of what I clicked on *just before* this delay happened, and associated log files where a '--- MARK X ---' (X increments from 1 up) was placed in the log just before the clicking was done. I noticed this while playing installed games from the 'Command & Conquer: The First Decade' DVD (noticed initially in Red Alert, but the problem seems to occur in C&C and Red Alert 2 as well). I think the freely available version of C&C is the same as on this DVD, which is why I've included logs for that as well. Observed on an unpatched GIT tree pulled on 2007-10-01 (after the Wine version 0.9.46 update). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

This almost seems like an app bug rather than a wine bug. Are the files present? If not, should they be? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9910 --- Comment #6 from David Hall (gringer) <winehq(a)gringer.dis.org.nz> 2007-10-06 00:51:01 --- My guess is that the files are stored inside one of the MIX files, and as such would not come up as being present during a search. One possibility is that the program searches first for (and uses) files in the local directory and, if not found, then looks in the MIX file. I know that it is possible to place a custom rules.ini file into the game directory to change graphics, weapons, behaviour, etc. of units within the game. Such a "search local, then MIX" behaviour would be consistent with this use -- perhaps it is looking for files to allow the use of these custom sounds / graphics / rules. Looking for files so many times may not be necessary, but that was not my intended bug issue. I'm concerned with the interaction delay (essentially "game freezing") when that is happening. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9910 --- Comment #7 from David Hall (gringer) <winehq(a)gringer.dis.org.nz> 2007-10-06 21:56:26 --- Created an attachment (id=8425) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=8425) C&C log, timestamps added in wine_nt_to_unix_file_name (via WARN, time(NULL)) I added 5 timestamp commands (via the WARN function) throughout the wine_nt_to_unix_file_name method (1 second resolution), and the log of that suggests to me that the blocking is not happening during the search for files (so this bug should probably be reassigned to a different section). I'll try adding more debug flags via export to get an idea of the dll calls that are made around that time). note: I've chopped off the top and bottom of the log to only concentrate on the part where I was "clicking on OK". -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

There are 5 files there, all with minimal user interaction (clicking on the Load Game, OK button, moving mouse). I used my WARN time stamps to work out where the delay points were in the log files (included in these files). These files are the sections of the log where two time stamps differed by ~4 seconds. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Email read: "Yes, this is still an issue in current wine (at least for 0.9.59), and I have not observed any fixed version since I reported the bug. Another observation that I didn't explicitly mention in my original report was that there was sound stuttering at the same time as the interaction delay -- the last 1-2 seconds of sound is played a few times over until the delay finishes. FWIW, a somewhat similar effect appears in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=4124), where there is stuttering/repetition of sound after clicking on some menu items (particularly save/load functions). In KOTOR, at least, this effect gets progressively worse as the time played increases (and gets better after quitting and restarting the program)." -- 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.

There is a small delay on refreshing the main menu C&C and Red Alert, but nowhere near as annoying as what it was previously (and the music/sound stutter has disappeared. -- 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.
