Summary: Silent Hill 2: random slow down Product: Wine Version: 0.9.59. Platform: PC OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: t0p0linik@yahoo.it
I'm running SH2 with this hardware: athlon 3000+, 512 MB of ram, matrox g550 on xubuntu gutsy (7.10), wine is run in emulated desktop @1024x768. When the game runs at normal speed it is enjoyable of course. But half the time i play, it is very slow. I can't tell what component causes this because no extra messages come from the command line (many fixme messages but they are not related to the slow downs). What i know is that this happens at random time and place (i mean, in the game) and i think this is not due to scene complexity, it happens during the normal game (so with variable scene complexity) but also: - during the game start and load menus, - when James doesn't move (it waits), with the light on or off, - when i look at the inventory, - when i look at the city map, - during a cut scene (the game uses bink video). Well, it can happen at any time! Further, the same random is for slow downs disappearing! The same scenarios cause the game to get faster at normal speed, when nothing changed. I really don't know what to investigate. Sometimes i can restore the normal speed moving a large window over the wine desktop (so forcing wine to redraw the whole window) but, i said, sometimes; this doesn't work anytime.
