Bug ID: 41635 Summary: The Banner Saga 2 (adobe air) - poor performance on plain Wine, flickering on Wine-staging Product: Wine Version: 1.9.22 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: donanykey@gmail.com Distribution: ---
Although from the first glance the Banner Saga 2 (based on the Adobe Air) is fully functional with plain Wine, the performance is very poor and the framerate is bad (literally `slide show`).
I wouldn't have fired this bug, if not the following reasons:
1. The performance on wine-staging is much better, almost close to native, but there is another problem - picture flickering
2. The first game in series has native linux support, but with known problems (during battles after some time of playing the framerate drops dramatically and hardly recovers). Due to the small fraction of linux gamers and, I believe, due to the porting efforts and problems the developer announced that they have no plans to support linux in the 2 & 3 games in the foreseeable future. I think it would be a good opportunity for CodeWeavers to reach those guys and propose porting services (they are quite opened guys, their CTO shares details over porting vendor selection, problems and etc - easily googled). One of the major problems - Adobe stopped support of Air on Linux
Nevertheless, I would be happy to provide any additional info, full log is not useful I suppose, as soon as game runs without errors and can't say what patch(s) in wine-staging makes it run faster
