[Bug 40165] New: Claw: Can't make high jumps

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40165

Bug ID: 40165
           Summary: Claw: Can't make high jumps
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.8
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

Tapping the space key causes Captain Claw to make a short jump, but holding it
should make the kitty captain jump a lot higher. Sometimes high jumps just
don't work, and sometimes they do.

Still valid wine 2.9-git and staging 2.9. Also the jumping animation looks a
bit weird.

It looks like this problem is due to the fact that Captain Claw seems to ignore
v-sync being turned-on system wide on Linux and macOS, and thus runs too fast.
A similar issue affects newer Window releases, however, turning on v-sync
system-wide fixes the problem there.

Tested on Wine 2.10, Radeon HD 2600 Pro -- Ubuntu 17.04 (default Mesa Radeon
Drivers) and OS X 10.11.6 (Mac driver), nothing unusual in the logs

There's no notion of "v-sync being turned-on system wide on […] macOS".  The
Mac driver, however, defaults to v-sync being enabled for windows.  (I expect
the X11 driver does, too, but haven't checked recently.)  The application would
have to turn it off if it wants it off.  A +wgl log should show if it's doing
that.

There's a registry setting to force v-sync off, but not one to force it on.

Just to make sure that we understand each other (I'm not a native speaker of
English). :)

This is a piece of advice given for Windows users at The Claw Recluse website
(the most important Captain Claw fan site):

"Problem: Claw jumps far too low, barely gets off the ground, and his movement
is unnaturally fast [please notice that this is the same issue this Wine bug
report is about].

Solution #1: Enable vertical synchronization (a.k.a. v-sync) in your video
card's control panel. The number of frames per second will now be limited by
your monitor's refresh rate, which should be 60 hertz in case of most LCD
displays."

I'm not saying that the game is changing any v-sync related settings on Linux
or macOS, there's in fact no such settings in Captain Claw's menu. It looks as
if it is "ignoring" v-sync settings provided by the OS (AFAIK, v-sync is
enabled by default on Linux with Mesa Radeon drivers and on macOS as well...).
