[Bug 56034] New: Borland Turbo CPP 4.5 installer hangs after opening INSTALL.TXT
by WineHQ Bugzilla May 3, 2026

May 3, 2026

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56034 Bug ID: 56034 Summary: Borland Turbo CPP 4.5 installer hangs after opening INSTALL.TXT Product: Wine Version: 9.0-rc2 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: alexhenrie24(a)gmail.com Distribution: --- Created attachment 75680 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=75680 Patch that fixes the first hang Note that the installer is INSTALL.EXE, not SETUP.EXE. If you click Continue, the installer opens INSTALL.TXT in Notepad. When you close Notepad, the installer should continue, but instead it hangs. If you click Skip, the installer works but hangs after installation. The attached patch fixes the problem, mostly. For some reason you have to click the background after closing Notepad, and the installer still hangs at the end. I don't know how close the patch is to a correct solution. $ sha256sum 'Borland Turbo CPP 4.5 for Windows.7z' 8a6f5797f0af880728421426beacf5e5760701e424d89e14cd714a13e625f2ff -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

It was reduced on the tray and its icon was blinking to notify that there were new messages / activities in channels or private messages. I clicked on it to restore the window and see the messages and wine gave me this backtrace (see the attachment). I was forced to quit mIRC and restart it again. This rarely happens, so it's not a real problem for me, but I don't know if it could help you fix this. Other infos: - Executable path: D:\mIRC\mirc.exe - mIRC Version: 7.72 (the latest one). - mIRC running in portable mode from a specific drive (on Wine, D:\) formatted in NTFS. - mIRC was running using some custom scripts. But this crash never happen on Windows. - Distro: Linux Mint 21.1 with latest updates. - Kernel: 5.15.0-69-generic - Wine infos: Wine build: wine-8.5 (Staging) Platform: i386 (WOW64) Version: Windows 10 - Drive Z: is a drive formatted in BTRFS. - CPU: Intel Core i7-6700 - RAM: 32 GB, when the crash occurred I was using less than 8 GB. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

[Bug 54566] New: Speed Busters: not clickable buttons in main menu

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54566 Bug ID: 54566 Summary: Speed Busters: not clickable buttons in main menu Product: Wine Version: 8.2 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: stabilergriller(a)gmail.com Distribution: --- Created attachment 74107 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=74107 Wine Output running programm Hello, The game "Speed Busters: American Highways" [https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=2832] bought on GOG [https://www.gog.com/game/speed_busters] installs just fine, but it's not possible to progress beyond the main menu. The main menu is fully visible, the mouse cursor itself too, but it's not actually possible to click on any of the buttons (or other interactive elements). Nothing seems to happen, when clicking on anything. Note: In winecfg, it's necessary to "Emulate a virtual desktop". Otherwise the game will start in full screen mode, and due to that described non-interactivity, it becomes impossible to leave the game anymore, so you will get perpetually stuck unless rebooting the computer. When alt tabbing the game running in full screen mode, it can be seen that an error window from wine is produced in the background, which is not readable, because the game always immediately commands control back. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

[Bug 54979] New: Futexes which protect memory allocation congest, causing 100x performance degradation
by WineHQ Bugzilla May 2, 2026

May 2, 2026

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54979 Bug ID: 54979 Summary: Futexes which protect memory allocation congest, causing 100x performance degradation Product: Wine Version: 8.0.1 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: ntdll Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: nagle(a)animats.com Distribution: --- Created attachment 74518 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=74518 Debugger output with multiple threads stuck in spinlocks. SUMMARY Under the wrong circumstances, a program doing many memory allocations from multiple threads can experience more than 100x performance degradation. I'm seeing this in my own Rust program, which has 16 sometimes-compute-bound threads on a 12 CPU machine. This works fine on Microsoft Windows and when compiled for Linux. Under Wine, it can be over 100x slower. Multiple threads are banging on a spinlock at _InterlockedCompareExchange [Z:\usr\src\packages\BUILD\include\winnt.h:6630] in ntdll spin_lock [Z:\usr\src\packages\BUILD\dlls\ntdll\sync.c:937] in ntdll This is the spin lock around the queue for pausing threads. DISCUSSION This looks like futex congestion. That's a known kind of problem, but doesn't seem to have been seen in Wine before. It may be that some programs just run really slow under Wine, and nobody knows why. The code in NTDLL is clearly intended to handle the fast case without doing an OS-level lock. Under light load, that's O(1). But under heavy load, with multiple threads pounding on spinlocks, each spinlock waits longer, and there are multiple threads, so it becomes O(N^2). Which means huge slowdowns. See discussion at https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=37688 which has snippets of the code that's causing the problem. I can copy all that info over here if necessary. Let me know. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
