Summary: Final Fantasy XIV beta: low frame rate Product: Wine Version: 1.3.2 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: directx-d3d AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
Once past bug 24358 and bug 24375, the next problem is slow frame rate; I'm seeing 7-8 fps in the first part (where the player materializes in some sort of lobby that looks like a bar), and 10-11 fps after you accept an assignment, get past the cut scene, and are thrown into the game proper.
This is on an e8400 with an nvidia gt 220 (yeah, not a fast card, but still). I'll measure framerate on same hardware in vista next.
