[Bug 21470] New: Starcraft gets slow when you select one and only one overlord
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21470 Summary: Starcraft gets slow when you select one and only one overlord Product: Wine Version: 1.1.34 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: wiebe(a)halfgaar.net #14373 is reported fixed, but it's not. Starcraft becomes very slow when you select certain units, most notably 1 overlord. When you select two overlords, it's not slow and when you select one again it's ok as well. However, if you select something else and then an overlord, it's slow again. Problem exists with both GDI and OpenGL renderer, but it shows very severely only with the GL renderer (whereas gameplay is superfluent otherwise in GL mode). Most people, especially on modern hardware, might not notice the slowness in GDI mode, but when you're a gamer and used to snappy response, it becomes very difficult to "micro" with that slowness. Points from the other bug: - It doesn't have to do with the drawing complexity of the overlord, since you can have a million in your view and more than 1 selected and works fine. - The new patch of Starcraft introduced CPU throttling, which doesn't help. - Selecting the default non GL renderer doesn't solve it, it hides it on very fast machines. Machines faster than mine, anyway. Hardware: Dual Core Athon X2 3800+ 2 GB memory.

GeForce 8400 GS nvidia-drivers 169.09-r1 Xorg: 7.2 I had this problem with a GeForce 6600 LE as well. Don't remember which drivers. But as I said, it's also in the GDI renderer, it just shows differently. In OpenGL the mouse has a quarter of a second or so lag. In GDI, it's just a lower framerate. -- 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.
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21470 --- Comment #3 from Matteo <bugs.kendatsuba(a)gmail.com> 2010-07-11 17:56:51 --- Created an attachment (id=29548) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=29548) cure for slowness This bug is still present in wine-1.2rc6. Selecting buildings during upgrading, overlords, evolving eggs and everything displaying a progress bar results in 100% CPU usage and slowness. The main cause is an increased number of Locks/Unlocks needed to paint the scene. As pointed out here: http://wiki.winehq.org/DirectDraw frequent Locks/Unlocks can lead to performance losses. Unfortunately even by setting DirectDrawRender to opengl one still gets extremely high CPU usage under the above circumstances. The attached patch is a hack made specifically for starcraft that tries to overcome the problem. Locks/Unlocks are redirected to a memory buffer and real video memory Locks are allowed to occur roughly 50 times per second. This successfully reduces the CPU overhead both in gdi and opengl mode. Example: DirectDrawRenderer = opengl with "CPU throttling" enabled in starcarft results in 25-30% CPU usage on my Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.66GHz even when selecting overlords / buildings. Note that this is not a fix of wine's directdraw implementation, it will only work with starcraft, possibly breaking other apps. I've tested the patch on wine 1.0.1 (debian testing) and wine 1.2rc6, is there anyone willing to test it further? -- 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 guess it's something about loading the sound (or the portrait) of a new fresh unit. Maybe you noticed this about overlord because it's one of the first unit a zerg has to move. -- 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.

Perhaps it can be fixed, but it would take a lot of work to try that. I'm curious, when an issue like this is analyzed, is the criteria just whether it runs smoothly on the developer's PC, or is CPU/GPU utilization actually included in testing? Because when this problem would still exist, it might not show on the most contemporary hardware (or the person currently testing is less critical of smoothness). I ask, because what Matteo said seems like an structural thing that perhaps needs to be fixed, regardless of this particular case with Starcraft. I mean, the game did run smoothly on a Pentium 100. -- 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.
