[Bug 33211] New: C&C: Red Alert 2 still runs very slowly and mouse cursor flickers
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33211 Bug #: 33211 Summary: C&C: Red Alert 2 still runs very slowly and mouse cursor flickers Product: Wine Version: 1.5.25 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Mac OS X Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: directx-d3d AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: brymaster(a)gmail.com Classification: Unclassified The game runs slowly, especially while moving the cursor in-game. I've tried various winetricks configs with: ddr=opengl/ddr=gdi, rtlm=readtex, orm=backbuffer as well as setting a flag in ra2.ini for [Video]VideoBackBuffer=no - nothing works. Even looked at a 'lag fix' here that does nothing: http://www.stuffhost.de/files/cnc/CnCPatcher.html
From looking at past related issues (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2784, http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5526, http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14438), I get the feeling that someone was trigger happy and 'CLOSED FIXED' these without actually testing - people are still reporting its a problem.

Just to emphasise, the mouse movement makes the game slow as hell, try holding still and see the game running smooth, then move the mouse and see the lag. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

It’s still precent in wine-6.2 on macOS, not sure when or if I’ll get around to do regression testing for this one. If someone wants to do this and doesn’t own RA2 they could use the officially licensed XWIS multiplayer only clients could be used in place of the full game. It’s not just slow cursor movements as the entire game lags. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
