Summary: Regular hiccups while playing Warcraft 3. Product: Wine Version: 0.9 Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-binary AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: z77y16@hotmail.com
I have played Warcraft 3 in Wine quite a lot around a year ago and reinstalled it recently. It no longer works as well as it was around 20031212. There are frequent short pauses during game, leaving the game playable but not quite as enjoyable as it should.
Reproducing the problem is easy. Run the game with -opengl and start a custom game. Short pauses will be experienced throughout the game, for example when you try to select your workers for the first time, click on a building, etc. Disabling sound does not help.
I am running Wine 0.9 on Fedora Core 4, stock kernel kernel-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4, nvidia 1.0-7676 with a GeForce 2 MX400. I have confirmed the problem exists since wine-20050310 at least.
