Summary: Interaction delay in menus while searching for missing files (CNC: The First Decade CD games) Product: Wine Version: CVS/GIT Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: wine-files AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: winehq@gringer.dis.org.nz
Created an attachment (id=8405) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=8405) Clicking on 'OK' button (just before the delay) while playing Red Alert
There is a very noticeable delay in menu repaints (and sound stutters during this) when navigating menus in C&C:TFD games. During the delay, the mouse cursor location does not update, and there are graphical effects that I would typically associate with a slow repaint. I disabled sound and the problem still occurred. Looking at the error logs, the cause of this is likely due to files not being able to be found.
I've attached two screenshots (for both Red Alert and Command & Conquer) of what I clicked on *just before* this delay happened, and associated log files where a '--- MARK X ---' (X increments from 1 up) was placed in the log just before the clicking was done.
I noticed this while playing installed games from the 'Command & Conquer: The First Decade' DVD (noticed initially in Red Alert, but the problem seems to occur in C&C and Red Alert 2 as well). I think the freely available version of C&C is the same as on this DVD, which is why I've included logs for that as well.
Observed on an unpatched GIT tree pulled on 2007-10-01 (after the Wine version 0.9.46 update).
