Bug #: 30404 Summary: Galactic Civilizations 1: severe slowdown during ships battles Product: Wine Version: 1.5.1 Platform: x86-64 URL: http://www.galciv1.com/download.asp OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: download Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: frederic.delanoy@gmail.com Classification: Unclassified
Created attachment 39744 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=39744 new Data dir
To reproduce: - download and install 1.03 demo version from above URL in a clean wineprefix (same issued with fully patched retail version) - replace Program Files/Strategy First/Galactic Civilizations Demo/Data dir with the attached file - launch the game (wait until intro screens are passed) - hit "Restore Last Civilization" in the main menu - hit 3 times the different "Done" buttons - right-click on the lower ship to start the battle (hit Esc then "Quit Game" to exit the game once the battle is finished)
=> combat much slower than normal (should only take a couple of seconds)
Setting HKCU\Software\Wine\Direct3D\DirectDrawRenderer=gdi in the registry somehow fixes/workarounds the issue.
Configuration: - wine-1.5.1-219-g4b3e4fa (same with 1.5.1 save for unrelated bug 30213) - linux 3.0 - nVidia driver 295.33 (x86_64) - Xorg 1.10.4
