Bug #: 29897 Summary: Lord Of the Rings Online Slow/Freezes Product: Wine Version: 1.4-rc3 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: marek.zachara@telperion.pl Classification: Unclassified
This looks like a regression to me - I have been playing LOTRO under wine 1.2.3 for some time now. It ocassionaly freezes for a few seconds (every few minutes), and hangs once in a while, but apart from that its playable. I decided to try the new 1.4 release of Wine and had no luck with it. LOTRO starts, but after I log in a character, the game is incredibly slow - like 1 frame displayed per 5 seconds (clearly unplayable). I have tried 1.4 rc2 and 1.4 rc3 with same results. Then i reverted back to 1.2.3 and the game works OK. I havent tried the 1.3 branch.
