[Bug 21994] New: Dual-core not being correctly supported in GTA IV
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21994 Summary: Dual-core not being correctly supported in GTA IV Product: Wine Version: 1.1.40 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: lukasz.wojnilowicz(a)gmail.com Created an attachment (id=26717) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=26717) Usage of cores The problem is that multi-threading game such as GTA IV uses only one core on dual core system. I uploaded cores usage during the play to show the problem. The game should use all cores that are in system. Typing taskset -p PID_OF_GTA4 in terminal when GTA 4 runs shows: pid PID_OF_GTA4 current affinity mask: 1 Changing affinity mask to 2 doesn't change usage of second core.

I assume you've tested this and confirmed it to work on Windows? I thought that I could assume that such hardware demanding game allows to use more than one core. I couldn't even think that it could be otherwise.
Although I haven't tested this myself on MS Windows but you can take comment #123 from bug #16328 as a proof. -- 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.

Changing affinity mask to 2 doesn't change usage of second core.
What do you mean "doesn't change usage"? Does it switch usage to second core from first? To enable *both* cores you should use mask 3 (binary 0011), not 2 (binary 0010). Anyway, when i set affinity mask to 3, total CPU usage is about 70%, i.e. second core(HT thread in my case) is not fully utilized. BUT, CPU usage almost never reaches 100% on Windows too (on the same machine). It's instead about 90%. -- 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.

It doesn't switch usage from first to second core. I meant that the image from the first attachment looks the same for both values of affinity mask.
To enable *both* cores you should use mask 3 (binary 0011), not 2 (binary 0010).
Setting affinity mask to 3 doesn't change anything. It seems like affinity mask hasn't any influence on the usage of cores.

As you can see the usage for the first core is 100% and for the second is 20-30% so it seems like the second core doesn't work. -- 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.

20-30% is some load, rather than none which looks reasonable, but have you verified that the 100% isn't just the game on one core and then maybe Xorg on another, or wineserver, or some other process? The picture doesn't illustrate which processes are using which percentage of cpu. -- 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.

You're right. I tried to set affinity mask of 2 and the game is executed on BOTH cores (cpu usage by LaunchGTAIV.exe is 63%). Mask of 1 makes it execute on one core (cpu usage 51%), and 3 seems to be the same as 2... Seems here's something wrong with kernel affinity setup, but windows' calc.exe under wine is correctly placed to the core specified, so the problem may also be with wine. But affinity isn't controlled from inside wine, except of initial setting!
As you can see the usage for the first core is 100% and for the second is 20-30% so it seems like the second core doesn't work.
The second core actually does work, but in some strange incomplete way... -- 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.

You need to verify that on your own *before* filing a bug.

The picture means and explains nothing, there may be other processes running that use the CPUs.
When I click RMB on LaunchGTAIV.exe in process manager and choose option where I can see which processors are assigned to the task then I see CPU0 and CPU1.

Thus, this screenshot doesn't prove anything. Though, it's still strange that if affinity mask is 2, the game is still executed on 1st CPU instead of 2nd (and a little bit of 2nd) on WINE. -- 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.

51% because I ALT+tab the game when it was in main menu but look at the flow of the usage of processor. It's higher when I play the game.
