Summary: eve online 100% cpu usage Product: Wine Version: 1.1.25 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: pht@spatium.org
the main eve online process (exefile.exe) almost always takes 100% cpu. graphics details settings have no impact on this, also the frame rate is acceptable (no choppy stuff) and rendering is accelerated. in windows xp x64 ed. the game takes about 25% cpu tops on the same hw. tried out various versions of wine, 1.1.17, .22, .24, .25, git. can't find a solution for this on the net.

--- Comment #3 from Michal Svoboda pht@spatium.org 2009-07-05 15:03:57 --- i wouldn't necessarily see this bug as mere enhancement because 100% cpu is pretty heavy compared to the 25% in windows. not everyone has a quad core so he can run the rest of the system on the remaining cores! moreover i suspect that this is the reason why the in-game voice chat, eve voice does not work for me (ie. choppy microphone sampling).

Scheduling, priotities, drivers', kernel CPU usage, etc. are all different. Also what's the point of having 4 core CPU if programs don't use it?

Sure but I doubt windows would report 75% CPU as IDLE when in fact it would be occupied by kernel or something. Besides, the task manager can show kernel times. Is there some overhead in wine itself perhaps?
Also what's the point of having 4 core CPU if programs don't use it?
I don't quite get the point of this remark. First off a lot of programs do use all available cores. EVE online is perhaps not one of them. I wonder if wine itself parallelizes its own work. All that aside, having multiple cores is the only thing that allows my system to operate on decent speed when EVE under wine is running.

--- Comment #8 from Michal Svoboda pht@spatium.org 2009-07-05 17:57:07 --- OK i have done some research and the truth is that the 100% cpu is caused by insane frame rates (something like 200 fps for the login screen). There is a frame rate limiter called "present interval" in EVE and in windows it works as described but under wine the frame rate does not drop no matter what value i set it to.

Please include tools you've used to measure CPU load.
On my machine in Windows XP one busy core - 50%; linux, measured via top - 100%; linux, measured via gnome system monitor - 50%.

If you were so kind to read the history of this bug you'd see that I actually pointed out the exact cause of the problem. The frame rate limiter is not working and the game is rendering on full CPU usage to 200 fps or whatever ridiculous rate your system is capable of. That, by design, results in 100% CPU usage, no matter how you measure it. And yea, we probably should be grateful to EVE developers that the renderer only occupies one core.
I am not familiar with the mechanisms that are used in the frame rate limiter neither with the code that implements them on wine. But someone with the knowledge of either should probably find it easy to go and find the causes and the solutions. Not the excuses.

I don't understand how using top (I use it) is any different than other means? When I first posted the bug I did not understand the cause, then I investigated and I added it to the comments (comment 8 from 5th july). Later I realized it would be also useful in the bug description.

Just be aware that your maximum CPU performance is 400% when you measure it using top.

Most probably problem (if there's any) lies beyond 100% core load. While writing bug report you have to write matter of the problem, your guesses are optional, not vice versa.

The 100% total vs. one processor display depends on particular top version and on whether you read the process time or the global stats (I've seen more or less all possible/sensible combinations). Nevertheless my reading is correct. The process is using about 100% of one processor. And the principle behind the cause supports it.

Still happening with Wine 1.3.4. I get about 70 FPS all the time, and the Eve process takes 100% of one CPU core, event if doing nothing. I changed config recently, from Athlon 64 X2 to Intel L3426, so i now have 8 cores, but each Eve client still uses one core at 100%. Graphic card is a Nvidia 460, and GLX_SGI_swap_control is supported (from glxinfo).
It is common in Eve to have more than 2 clients running, and with each one taking 1 core, you cant launch more clients than cores on your computer without freezes.
On Windows, each client does not uses 100% of a core, so this problem is not present. On the Mac version, which uses CrossOver, the bug is also here.
This bug can easily reproducted by downloading the Eve client (http://www.eveonline.com/download/), installing it, and launching the game (idling at login screen takes 100% of one core too).

If you are concerned about vsync limiting not working then say so.
For me the vsync option in nvidia-settings has always worked. NOTE: There is two independent "Sync to VBlank" switches in nvidia-settings control panels. First one is under "X Server XVideo Settings", the second one is under "OpenGL Settings". The second one is the important one for Eve.

--- Comment #38 from Renaud Chaput renchap@gmail.com 2010-10-15 03:33:40 CDT --- Hi,
I know that some games will use 100% of your CPU, but it is not the case of Eve. Here is a screenshot of a friend's Windows process viewer running 2 Eve clients : http://renchap.com/eve_windows_cpu.jpg
He is using a Quad core, and the 2 Eve clients uses 10 and 16% of one core. When i played Eve on Windows some years ago, using a single-core CPU, i ran 2 Eve clients on 1 core, and the CPU was not at 100%.
This may not be a vsync problem but another one, the fact is that running Eve under wine uses 100% CPU of one core, and running the same client on Windows does not uses one full core.

The problem is in the fact that something that EVE on Windows uses to limit its CPU usage is not operating the same under Wine. Go and find what it is instead of dismissing this issue ad infinitum. Gosh, this thing has been bugging people for one year plus.

--- Comment #41 from evanh evanh@clear.net.nz 2010-10-18 21:34:18 CDT --- Not my job, sorry. I'm not the one that thinks there is any problem here.
Look, I've already covered the nvidia vsync switches. And I've covered a possible reason why, even when framerates are capped, that you can still get 100% CPU simply because the game is not able to reach the cap.
And remember the cap is different on different setups, mine, for example, is an 85 Hz display. So, unless my setup of Eve can achieve 85 Hz minimum, then 100% CPU will be needed even with the cap working correctly. And, yes, I do drop down below 50% CPU usage in quieter places.
Eve is a heavy duty game CPU wise and the need to convert from Direct3D to OpenGL adds an unfortunate burden to the CPU so don't expect identical results to Windoze.
Rule of thumb is buy a PC with a fast clocked CPU. Any nVidia GPU with it's own RAM will do the job fine.

Aw god. Don't you understand the simple fact that this happens IN LOGIN SCREEN where there is ABSOLUTELY NO LOAD on the graphics/cpu/whatever. That there is simply NO CAP under linux, it will burn your CPU NO MATTER HOW FAST IT IS, unlike in windows which ON THE EXACT SAME HARDWARE has like 10% cpu use.
Rule of thumb is buy a PC with a fast clocked CPU. Any nVidia GPU with it's own RAM will do the job fine.
Given the above IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW FAST CPU YOU HAVE it is simply a bug in wine's emulation of (whatever the game uses to cap cpu use). And it does not matter on graphics make either as seen from the comments. If you believe otherwise then PLEASE POST A SCREENSHOT with the login screen running and the 'top' utility showing a lot less than 100% cpu core burn.

If anyone wanted to do something constructive, they could begin profiling with oprofile (if you use ubuntu there's a handy gui for stopping/starting) when the high cpu usage starts, for about ~30 seconds, stop and then generate some oprofile reports.
See the oprofile website for many examples of the reports you can generate once you've captured profiling data. Compile them into a single .txt file, attach the .txt file and then someone might be in a better position to speculate.
If you need assistance with oprofile, post on the wine users forum rather than here and I or someone else will answer.

For the record, I've seen a number of posts over the last year claiming that the login is doing nothing - which is clearly lacking any observation. The login graphics is live rendering the whole scene! It's just as prone to CPU/GPU burn as the main game is.
Here's my screen shots [http://i53.tinypic.com/s3j2p1.jpg with 85 Hz vsync capping] (pulling about 41% CPU usage, including all other tasks) and [http://i53.tinypic.com/2wh2e5w.jpg without vsync capping] (pulling around 106%).
I suggest concentrating on what is wrong, like poor framerate for example, rather than an unimportant side effect that doesn't impact game play or even any frilly bits.

Where you active vsync? In nvidia control panel? I'm doing that, (the two Sync to vblank options, both OpenGL and X Server XVideo Settings) and is not limiting nothing.

--- Comment #47 from Stefan Reimer it@stefanreimer.de 2010-11-24 00:52:24 CST --- Hi, I confirm that turning on "Sync to VBlank" in OpenGL Settings using NVidia 260.19.21 stops EVE from maxing out one core. - Wine 1.3.7
Frame rate limiting therefore seems to work!

Please close bug report!
