Summary: Poor graphics performance in Myst Online: Uru Live due to software emulation Product: Wine Version: CVS/GIT Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: wine-opengl AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: diafero@arcor.de
Myst Online: Uru Live (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=9810) works mostly fine using Wine, but what's noticeable is that the graphics is much slower that on Windows. There I can use the best graphics settings and as long as I'm alone in my age, the graphics is fluent (with my GeForce 8500 GT). On Linux, I've got the lowest settings and it stutters all the time.
The reason seems to be that wine uses software emulation - I get the following error many many times: "fixme:d3d_draw:drawPrimitive Using software emulation because not all material properties could be tracked" and the CPU load is between 70% and 100%, depending on what is rendered.
