Bug #: 33211 Summary: C&C: Red Alert 2 still runs very slowly and mouse cursor flickers Product: Wine Version: 1.5.25 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Mac OS X Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: directx-d3d AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: brymaster@gmail.com Classification: Unclassified
The game runs slowly, especially while moving the cursor in-game.
I've tried various winetricks configs with: ddr=opengl/ddr=gdi, rtlm=readtex, orm=backbuffer as well as setting a flag in ra2.ini for [Video]VideoBackBuffer=no - nothing works. Even looked at a 'lag fix' here that does nothing: http://www.stuffhost.de/files/cnc/CnCPatcher.html
From looking at past related issues
(http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2784, http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5526, http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14438), I get the feeling that someone was trigger happy and 'CLOSED FIXED' these without actually testing - people are still reporting its a problem.
