[Bug 13486] New: Having CPU switch frequency dynamically (powersave daemon) , Prince of Persia (potentially more apps?) runs way too fast
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13486
Summary: Having CPU switch frequency dynamically (powersave daemon), Prince of Persia (potentially more apps?) runs way too fast Product: Wine Version: 1.0-rc2 Platform: PC-x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: Nico.Laus.2001@gmx.de
I normally let my CPU change frequencies dynamically as required by the current load. Starting Prince of Persia The Sands of Time, this game runs too fast. When I change CPU frequency policy in powersaved to performance, everything runs fine.

Yes, I run this game successfully on Windows Vista x64. My linux distribution is openSUSE x86_64 (if this is important).

I forgot to mention that it's "Prince of Persia - The Sands of Time".
ok, I did mention it in the text :P

--- Comment #4 from Lei Zhang thestig@google.com 2008-05-28 16:58:06 --- On Windows, is your cpu also running at a lower frequency?

On Windows, is your cpu also running at a lower frequency?
yes, power saving is active and adjusting core speed continuously (between 1000 and 2400 MHz)

--- Comment #6 from Nico Kruber Nico.Laus.2001@gmx.de 2008-06-03 11:56:14 --- Created an attachment (id=13634) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=13634) Log running the game
attached is the log I took when I ran the game starting with "Powersave" CPU frequency policy and switching to "Performance" once a new game was started. (Leaving to dynamic sometimes shows correct timings - this is a save way to reproduce it, although I have not tested a similar behaviour on Windows)
I'm guessing it depends on the difference of frequency when the game (application) started and the in-game cpu frequency.

I'd like to add some more comments about the details of this bug though:
- game started with CPU@Powersave -> game runs at normal speed - game started with CPU@Powersave, changed to "Performance" in the game -> game runs too quickly
- game started with CPU@Performance -> game runs at normal speed - game started with CPU@Performance, changed to "Powersave" in the game -> game runs too slowly
- game started with CPU@Dynamic -> game runs too quickly

Seems that the game has problems with c'n'q and/or multi core machines. However, I wasn't able to reproduce the same error in Windows. Perhaps recent Windows c'n'q drivers come with workarounds for this.

Forget that. I played the game again today and discovered the same behaviour as stated in comment #9

Maybe it´s not an wine Bug. There is a workaround in the DeusEx howto. I hope in some day there is an switch to disable the dynamic clock speed while playing.

then why does it work on Windows (same machine?) - although cnq driver workaround mentioned in Comment #11 seem reasonable...
There is a workaround in the DeusEx howto. I hope in some day there is an switch to disable the dynamic clock speed while playing.
this might not be the desired behaviour - imagine old games not using all the power modern machines got - they don't need to waste energy then...
I'll however test with the newest wine version soon - also with the program attached to a single CPU core...

--- Comment #21 from butraxz@gmail.com 2013-10-18 13:20:51 CDT --- This ticket has not been updated for over 900 days. Development recommends to check the status on your bug every release or two and let to be known if the bug is still present. If not, mark it fixed. If you are no longer able to put effort to this ticket, you can abandon it.
Is this still an issue with 1.7.4 or higher ?

--- Comment #22 from Ronny Schmatzler schmatzler@googlemail.com --- Tested Beyond Good and Evil on Wine 1.7.11 - audio and video are always in sync, even when the CPU is throttled.
I tested it with running my CPU throttled:
echo "ondemand" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
and afterwards with the full power:
echo "performance" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
(I noticed that the game is not playing some of the menu sounds when the CPU is throttled, but there is another bug for this already opened. This bug can be closed)
