[Bug 9380] New: Grand Prix Legends: heavy randomic slowdown at 800x600 resolution or higher
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9380 Summary: Grand Prix Legends: heavy randomic slowdown at 800x600 resolution or higher Product: Wine Version: 0.9.43. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-opengl AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: xwang1976(a)email.it When I start Grand Prix Legends 2004 Demo at 640x480, the game runs fluently at 36 fps like it does under windows, but if I change the resolution at 800x600 or higher, it runs at about 1 fps and at the same moment the cpu usage goes to 100% (at 640x480 is at 20-25% maximum). This happens in a randomic way because sometimes it switch correctly to the higher resolution and in that case it runs fluently even at 800x600 (I've seen this case in 3 or 4 cases over more than 30 times I tried to switch to this resolution). However I've never been able to run at 1024x768 as I normally do under windows. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Well I've a laptop (Toshiba m30-304, cpu Pentium-M 1.4 GHz, 1GB Ram, video card nvidia Fx go5200 32Mb, lcd 15.4" 1280x800 native resolution). I'm using kubuntu 7.04 with the driver installed from the repositories of the distro (9631). Do you need more infos?

I don't know how to reliably reproduce it, for me it only happens semi-randomly, when it happens it seems to be mostly at the start of a race against AI drivers, or when loading a track (still in the menu), and when quitting the game (see 3rd paragraph below). I have the impression it may be related somehow to high CPU load (but I don't know really). It's specific to this game, I didn't have any such problem with any other Linux or Wine game. I regularly run the game at 800x600, 1024x768 works too but probably has more chance of triggering the bug. USUALLY the game works very well, but I have a GeForce4 Ti 4200/128M gfx card, which, despite being older, AFAIK is faster/has more memory than Xwang's, so maybe that's why in my case the problem is not triggered easily with higher resolutions. While I'm at it, my other system specs are CPU: Duron 1.8 GHz, RAM: 512M, nvidia proprietary gfx driver v1.0-9639 (I had the problem also with v1.0-9631 too). Also I'm not sure it is the same problem but, it happens more often, when I quit the game and there's the screen with the rolling credits, if I let it rolling (not hitting a key) for some seconds, it often suddenly slows down and/or halt and I have to Ctrl-C Wine (Because of this I've taken the habit of immediately hitting Esc when this screen appear, but sometimes I'm not even fast enough), it may be interesting to note that this simple rolling credit screen eats up 99% of my CPU (according to 'top'). Also, maybe it's unrelated but the game (on Windows) seems to be touchy when it comes to CPU stuff, look at this FAQ: http://forum.racesimcentral.com/showthread.php?t=105748 (search the page for "cpu") -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Ok, but, since with the same machine the game runs correctly under Windows Xp, I suppose it may be a strange problem related with the implementation of the api. So if it is possible to log the program calls to the wine api, maybe, we can discover that it hangs when calling a particular function. Is it possible? How?

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9380 --- Comment #11 from Gerald Folcher <geraldf2(a)free.fr> 2008-01-03 07:07:55 --- Hello, I just found something very interesting regarding this vicious slow-motion bug, at least for me it's a working workaround. It seems that running 'wineserver' with a higher priority (I think, I mean with a lower 'nice' number) than the game, prevents the bug from happening. Until I found this I was running both 'wineserver' and the game with the same priority, eventually trying nice levels from -9 to 19, but the bug always happened sooner or later (but less with sub 0 values) (it always happened tho on the rolling credits screen that appears when you quit the game). Using this it doesn't happen anymore, I can even let the credits screen roll and it doesn't happen (while it always gone bad on that screen, within a few seconds if not immediately). For example, in my case I start first wineserver with a 'nice -n -5', then I launch GPLegends with wine with a 'nice -n -3'. For more clarity, here is an example how it would look like in a script to launch the game: nice -n -5 wineserver sleep 1s #wait 1s=one second, not sure if it's required or useful... nice -n -3 wine C:\\Program\ Files\\gpl2004\\gpl.exe Btw, I still use Wine 0.9.42 (because with more recent versions (last one I tried is 0.9.51) performance is very very terribly stutteringly bad (unless I turn sound off), but that's an other bug/story). But I think this slow-motion bug still exists in these more recent versions and this nice level "trick" probably works too. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Sorry if I made anybody have false hopes. It does often prevent it tho for me (one proof is the rolling credit screen which always slowed-down/froze/crashed, and now for me it does no more), but it's not a cure. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.7 or newer) wine?
I am running Grand Prix Legends on Ubuntu 8.10 with the latest wine 1.1.12 and this still happens. The game is running perfectly like on windows, but there are still random freezes like Gerald Folcher. I have tryed to renice the wine server and gpl but that did not work I could add some log files about similar errors to this bug. But is someone working on this? Can I help trying to solve this problem? Anyone have any idea what this error means?
