--- Comment #17 from Markus Linnala markus.linnala+winehq@gmail.com --- The patches make situation a lot better, maybe 1/10 times as much cracking. My testing is not very scientific as cracking appears during SC2 game and then it stays until the game ends. As SC2 is very CPU intensive, maybe there is some issues with timing still.
Without the patches, I could get cracking from SC2 menus or music about 2/3 time and if I played a game or two then every time. And once there was cracking it stayed until I exitted the SC2.
I changed my wine to run like this to collect audio logging every time. Compressed log is still more than 100MiB per hour.
