Bug #: 29287
           Summary: Heroes of Might and Magic IV: performance issues with
                    Opengl renderer
           Product: Wine

There is a noticeable slowdown in HoMM IV during gameplay with the default
Opengl renderer. This is noticeable in the map screen (when the player is
wandering around, collecting items and exploring the land), but it doesn't
occur during combat. I tested with HoMM IV Complete (also available on
GOG.com).
Actually, there are 2 distinct issues, both of them are originating from the
same commit.

1. the game is much slower than it was in 1.3.33 (or earlier): scrolling the
map as well as animations are lagging/redrawing slowly.
2. the mouse pointer is acting weird: while moving the mouse pointer across the
screen, it frequently jumps in different directions by several pixels. It makes
pointing to an icon or item more difficult.

The result of the regression test:

wined3d: Create a PBO in surface_load_location() even if SFLAG_INSYSMEM is
already set.

In the longer term, sysmem and pbo should be separate resource locations.

Reverting the patch on wine-1.3.34-166-g71199ea fixed both problems.

No demo available.

Wings over Europe (Cold War gone Hot) is also affected by this regression, but
in a different way.
Since commit 94c0d... the game starts with a black screen but music is playing.
Pressing <Esc> reveals the main menu, but here comes the problem: the animated
mouse pointer is not moving (stuck on the screen).
Since keyboard is not available in the menus (except for <Esc>), there is no
way to get further in the menus.

ddr=gdi acts as a workaround in WoE too: the game starts with the main menu
(without the aforementioned black screen) and mouse pointer is moving as it
should.

There is no demo for WoE.

Mostly out of curiosity, does attachment 38908 from bug 26918 make this better
or worse?

The patch fixes the problem in Wings over Europe, but it doesn't change
anything in HoMM IV.

Bug is still there in latest GIT, frames are at 10-20 FPS which is unplayable
(I have the German 2 CD-ROM version).

I can't really tell the difference in performance (gdi vs. opengl) in current
Wine.
By all means, the game runs much smoother now, than with 1.7.x series of Wine.

Marking fixed.
