Summary: wine-1.1.x slows to ~0.5 fps or locks up on new Core2 Quad Product: Wine Version: 1.1.2 Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: directx-d3d AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: roy@marples.name
Old computer was amd64, 2Gig RAM, nVidia 7800GTS running Gentoo Linux (unstable). wine has always run my games reasonably well :)
New computer (old one died) intel Core2 Quad, nVidia 9800GX2, 4Gig Ram - again running Gentoo Linux (unstable) After $random amount of time games suddenly slowdown to less than a frame per second and/or lock hard. Mouse is still responsive, but cannot actually click anything. Sound either stops or loops over the same part. Launching game via console does not show anything out of the ordinary. I've ruled out audio as turning off audio in either game doesn't alleviate the issue.
When game locks like this, the OS is still perfectly usable - can alt-tab out, email, browse, compile, etc. Closing the game I can re-start it again. However, this is not entirely desirable :)
Games affected EVE-Online Classix EVE-Online Premium World Of Warcraft (OpenGL mode)
I can't get EVE to run under wine debugger via relay. When I terminate the debugger EVE then starts. I can no longer test WoW as my account expired.
EVE wrapped cedega client does not exhibit this issue, neither do native games such as Doom3 or Quake4.
If any more information is required to help fix this issue, no matter how small, I'm happy to help :)
