Summary: GTA: Vice City, graphics missing/running poorly only when game has focus Product: Wine Version: 1.0-rc4 Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: bobgoat37@yahoo.com
It has been like this for the last couple of versions. While in the actual game almost all of the graphics are gone except for maybe the background, headlights things like that. Performance is also very bad, though the sound is alright. What is strange is if focus is taken away the graphics return to normal and the game performs fine. Another similar problem is in the cutscenes, which look and sound alright but are extremely choppy. Take focus away and they run fine. Must have something to do with the input handling I guess.
Using NVIDIA drivers 173.14.05 on kernel 2.6.25 in Gentoo.
