Summary: GTA2 runs really slow with RenderTargetLockMode readtex with a GeForce FX 5500 Product: Wine Version: 1.1.30 Platform: PC URL: http://www.rockstargames.com/classics/ OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: directx-d3d AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: julius@zgod.cjb.net
When trying to play GTA2 in newer Wine versions with a GeForce FX 5500, the game will run extremely slow because RenderTargetLockMode readtex is now the default. Switching back to RenderTargetLockMode readdraw allows the game to work correctly.
When setting RenderTargetLockMode disabled, the intro movie doesn't display anymore, but ingame will work extremely fast. The performance is really good then.
It appears there is currently a significant performance problem with GeForce FX 5500 cards and RenderTargetLockMode readtex. Details about my system: AMD Athlon 1GHz 512MB RAM GeForce FX 5500 with 128MB Ubuntu Hardy Driver version: 173.14.16 (the latest that supports my hardware as far as I'm aware)
