Same problem in the demo?

What video card / driver version are you using?

This may be related to the "uberslow framerate" bug, but a workaround exists.
Run the game with "wine RelicCOH.exe -minvidmem 0" to avoid this bug. (This
won't help the framerate ingame tho.)

the framerate issues are caused by constant shader recompilations

I removed the part that causes the shaders to be recompiled and it that
restored normal playable framerates

Where and how did you do that?

hack to work around the fps problem

the hack removes the shader recompilation which takes up all the cpu time

the broken gfx is there with and without it (just makes the game run at 40+ fps
compared to 0.7 fps before)

Thanks, i'm gonna test it tonight. Is it okey if I write a how-to @ Wine-Review
where I link to the patch? I will of course give you credit for the patch.

The -minvidmem 0 requirement went away after patching to 1.71.  I had
Wine->Direct3D->VideoMemorySize set before and after so there is a chance that
it may rely on that even after applying patch 1.71.

I had to apply the change in that fps patch (shader recompile hack) to
yesterdays development git in order to get things to work.  The trees looked
pretty dismal and terrain quite bare.  My attempts to bump up settings to
compare results ended up in a hung game.

This problem still exists in wine 1.11. Still the same recompiled more than 50
times - messages and massive slowdowns making the game unplayable. The hack to
work around this does work. 
Fortunately there is an option in winecfg to disable all vertex shaders but
this does not work for company of heroes: it makes the screen just black.

This bug was related to bug 10631. The shader recompilation issues have been
fixed, so this bug does not longer exists. I tried Company of Heroes and there
are no problems with low framerate anymore.

Fixed.
