Bug ID: 50448 Summary: Recent changes to ntdll-NtAlertThreadByThreadId causes that threads in some applications might look up causing periodical lookups Product: Wine-staging Version: 6.0-rc5 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: bjorn.bidar@thaodan.de CC: leslie_alistair@hotmail.com, z.figura12@gmail.com Distribution: ---
After `b8ca0eae9f47491ba257c422a2bc03fc37d13c22` that changed ntdll-NtAlertThreadByThreadId the threads of some applications might lookup up causing periodical freezes for 1s-3s in some applications like Wotld of Warcraft or Deus Ex. The rest of my session still works and does not freeze when that happens.
In the case of Wow I especialy noticed that the input will be open again sooner than the graphics/sound.
The log will look like this: 02cc:err:sync:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section <same address> "?" wait timed out in thread 02cc, blocked by 0000, retrying (60 sec)
I noticed that in the case of Wow the critical section that looks is almost every time the same.
