Bug #: 31854 Summary: Wizard101 launcher slow to load and then freezes for 30 seconds or more Product: Wine Version: 1.5.14 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wininet AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dimesio@earthlink.net CC: piotr@codeweavers.com Classification: Unclassified Regression SHA1: 8f2b0fdf526ef9e53af0fc5a4cc601d9b70b4af4
In 1.5.14, the Wizard101 launcher takes 5-10 seconds to even appear (used to take 1-2) and the login screen then freezes for 30 seconds or more (if it goes over a minute I just kill it). The problem is particularly bad if my connection drops while playing (not a Wine issue; my DSL is flakey) and I have to close the game and login again--sometimes I have to kill and restart the launcher several times before it will get past the freeze.
