Summary: City of Heroes runs very slowly when in-game "Contacts" window is opened, sometimes corrupts graphics Product: Wine Version: 0.9.49. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: wine-directx AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: jsbiff@weldingengineering.com
I have been trying to play City of Heroes using Wine on Ubuntu. It's mostly working pretty good, but I seem to be consistently getting very bad behavior from the game when I try to open the contacts list/window. Sometimes, when I'm lucky, the game just runs very slowly, rendering about 1 frame every 3-5 seconds, until I close the contacts list. Other times, the video card graphics get corrupted so badly that I have to power off the computer and power it back on to be able to use the computer again.
