Bug ID: 49845 Summary: Sacred Gold: very bad performance (low fps) when zoomed out Product: Wine Version: 5.0.1 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: phaidros@gmx.at Distribution: ---
Sacred 1 Gold provides 3 zoom levels: Very close, middle and zoomed out. I guess most people really only use the zoomed out setting, the other two show such a small portion of the world that i don't know how anybody could enjoy the experience. Unfortunately the zoomed out setting gives very bad performance, around 20fps on a Ryzen 2700X @ 3.7GHz. Using the middle zoom setting fps go up to about 30-35fps and the very close zoom setting gives 55-60fps.
I don't really understand what's going on, I think this is a very old game and a 8-core 3.7GHz CPU should have no problem whatsoever to run it. The 20fps i'm getting make the game really unenjoyable to the extent where i would rather boot windows to play it (where i'm getting 60fps at all zoom levels).
I tried with and without CSMT, fixing the process to a single CPU core etc. Unfortunately no luck. It is really strange that the game would run at almost 60fps when zoomed in and then take such a massive performance hit when zooming out.
