Summary: Regression in directx, movies not playing in The Neverhood Product: Wine Version: 1.2-rc3 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: the_q123@hotmail.com
This bug was reported and resolved several versions back. In The Neverhood (1.0), when audio is enabled videos will not play or play very slowly and the game uses almost 100% of the CPU. If audio is disabled or muted the game plays just fine as do videos. I'll follow this up with a post linking to the old bug and later some logs etc. (posting from cellular)
The Neverhood works best in Windows 95 mode and I am using the ALSA sound module. It was designed for DirectX 3.0, which it automatically installs if it cannot find a suitable version.
