Summary: Slowness and corruption in old DirectDraw game: Warlords 3 Product: Wine Version: 0.9.4. Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-directx-ddraw AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: alex@thehandofagony.com
An old 2D strategy game, Warlords III: Darklords Rising, runs extremely slow and with some graphical corruption. One of the issues is that shadows are solid blue.
This game should only require 75MHz and 16MB RAM, yet the above issues occur on a Pentium 4 2.8GHz with 1GB RAM. It must be using a special function, as other DirectDraw games with similar requirements, such as Heroes of Might and Magic I & II, work fine.
