[Bug 4308] New: Heroes of Might & Magic 4 - battle scene is slow unless mouse is moving constantly
by Wine Bugs Jan. 15, 2006

Jan. 15, 2006

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4308 Summary: Heroes of Might & Magic 4 - battle scene is slow unless mouse is moving constantly Product: Wine Version: 0.9.5. Platform: PC-x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-directx AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: martyspamtrap(a)comcast.net In a battle scene in HOMM4, animation is very slow, and CPU use is very *low* unless the user moves the mouse around in continuous motion. While the user is moving the mouse, animation occurs at full normal speed and CPU use is normal. I suspect that since the mouse is a software drawn mouse cursor, it forces a screen update when the mouse is moved. The normal code responsible for maintaining the frame rate seems to be in error, throttling the frame rate back way further than necessary, and moving the mouse overrides this because it forces the update. The same effect is noticed when on the video when the battle is over, where the battle's stats are shown. Please let me know if I can do anything to provide more useful information on the subject. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.

[Bug 4307] New: Heroes of Might & Magic 3 fails load, worked perfectly in 0.9.3
by Wine Bugs Jan. 15, 2006

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4307 Summary: Heroes of Might & Magic 3 fails load, worked perfectly in 0.9.3 Product: Wine Version: 0.9.5. Platform: PC-x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: wine-directx AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: martyspamtrap(a)comcast.net On attempting to start up Heroes of Might and Magic 3, Wine will change to full screen mode, draw the software mouse cursor once, access the CDROM (looking for a valid HOMM3 CD for copy protection), and then freeze up completely. Reverting back to Wine 0.9.3, HOMM3 works flawlessly. Something broke between now and then. I don't know my way around Wine to debug, but I am an experienced code and would be glad to follow someone's instructions to provide more information. Please let me know if there's anything I can do. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3987 dank(a)kegel.com changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|CLOSED |UNCONFIRMED Resolution|INVALID | ------- Additional Comments From dank(a)kegel.com 2006-14-01 23:52 ------- Gilbert has opened bug 3994 for problem 1. Problem number 2 is bug 4064; we should repackage the activex control to include msvcp60.dll. Problem number 3 isn't really a problem, it's a feature; we don't want to force a modem user to do a huge download. Both problems 1 and 2 are valid, so I'm reopening this bug and marking it as a dup of the most serious one, bug 4064. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.

Hopefully they can give us the information and we will be able to pin point the problem and resolve the issue. -------snipp------- Discussion Thread Customer (Magnus) 01/14/2006 06:59 PM Hello again! Please Sir, we're not requesting you to support Wine. We're wondering if you can tell us what you did in the Steam platform update between the 22th and 23rd of December 2005. Telling us that will allow us to resolve the problem ourselfs. Very best regards, Magnus Glantz ---------------------------- Response (JeffH) 01/13/2006 01:29 PM Hello, We do not support the use of wine, Steam is a windows application. Using wine is completely acceptable, however we cannot provide support for this application. ---------------------------- Customer (Magnus Glantz) 01/07/2006 09:16 AM Hello, After an update of Steam and the Steam platform between the 22-23th of Decmeber a very nasty bug appeared with Steam and Wine. Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix. With Wine it has before been possible to run Steam and Steam based games flawlessly in many diffrent Linux platforms, until recently. Between the 22 and 23th of December Valve made some kind of update that makes Steam and all Steam based games to frequently freeze, making Steam and it's games unusable and unplayable. Alot of people are using Wine or Wine based solutions to be able to play you're games on Unix based platforms, but right now, alot of them can not any longer. The Wine Open Source community are trying to solve this problem. You would help us and many of you're customers if you are able to tell us exactly what was done in the update between the 22th and 23th December 2005. A Wine Bug tracking ticket has been opened for this at: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4131 there you can read more information about this problem. This bug has been verified by the community. Some useful information that has arisen is that the problem does not seem to appear in off-line mode. Best regards, Magnus -------snipp------- -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
