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.

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.

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.

I had the same keyboard problem (not responding). I have Heroes3 complete cds,
running the wine version found in Ubuntu's synaptic package manager:
Wine 20050725
While experimenting, I found if you select the Emulate Virtual Desktop option in
winecfg Graphics tab, the games stays in a window and the keyboard input is
correctly picked up.
Now if only I can find a solution for the dsound underruns...

Update about the trouble ticket I opened up with Valve. Hopefully they can give
us the information and we will be able to pin point the problem and resolve the
issue.

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

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.

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
