Hi,
Problem Description:
Links 2003 is working nicely under Wine however I have to take action to limit the amount of shared memory that Wine is using for the Graphics with the Embedded GPU.
Environment -
Hardware:
Acer Aspire Notebook E5-575G Gen 7 i5-7200U processor, 16GB Memory, 512GB SSD, 1TB HDD. Intel HD 620 embedded graphics
Software:
Linux Mint 21.3 Wine 10.1 Links 2003, 1.07 Update
Commentary:
I have found that I have to severely restrict the amount of shared memory allocated for Video to 128MB in Wine, using the parameter VideoMemorySize.
Set any higher than this and I see issues:
- If the parameter is set to 256MB the Links program hangs and has to be terminated
- If the parameter is set to 512MB I get the attached crash from Links.
As an aside with Wine 10.1 on an older i3 Gen 3 desktop system with Intel 2500 embedded graphics running Mint 21.3, the higher VideoMemorySize parameters works and also appears to help to improve graphic performance, previous versions of Wine up to 10.0 on this system exhibited the same problem as on the notebook.
