[Bug 12933] New: open Steam window consume 100% cpu

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12933

Summary: open Steam window consume 100% cpu
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.61.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Mostly (not always) open window of Steam.exe cause full processor load. When
window closed to the tray — everything is fine. Sometimes, opening it again
are ok too — processor is idle.

Seems to be a regression from a versions about 0.9.3x — as i can remember,
there was no such problem with old versions (but of course, there was other
problems with Steam).

Not major - read description of the severity.
The only time I see this this is when steam updates some game(s) or itself.
Other then that it sits pretty much idle. This is exactly the same as windows.

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.7 or newer) wine?

Yes, Steam is <underlined>too slow in general.</underlined>
Steam uses 100% CPU, and moving the main windows is almost impossible, its just
too slow.

Wine ver: 1.1.9
CPU: Intel Quad@2,83Ghz
RAM: 4GB

With my dual core computer using Wine 1.1.4, with any open Steam windows it
maxes out one of my cores.

This may or may not be related but while the window is opening the terminal
window is being flooded with the errors shown below. Perhaps this incomplete
function is the source of the high CPU usage?

I'm also getting this. Wine 1.1.10, Steam.exe maxes out one core to 100% until
the task is ended -- doesn't matter if I minimize the window or not.

If this is still an issue could some one provide more details to help isolate
the issue.

Some things I can think that would help:
Wine versions
Graphical settings from the winecfg tab and any registry changes
Are you using a virtual desktop
Are you attempting to drag the steam window, does the dragging work
Steam versions
Gecko versions
Are you using flash in wine

Any other information that would help reproduce this bug would be handy.

Had the same problem with Wine 1.0.1-0ubunutu8 on Ubuntu 9.10 on a Dell
Latitude D630 with a NVidia Quadro NVS 135M and version 173.14.20 of the NVidia
driver.Got it all work though by running winetricks with corefonts, flash, and
ie6.

Hey I have this problem, and I think bug 19889 is closely related to this bug
as I see both issues at the same time (high cpu usage and poor Steam
performance).
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19889

I am running Steam on wine 1.1.35 in a fresh prefix, nothing installed, no
changes made besides installing Steam.

My relevant hardware:
Intel C2D T7200
Nvidia Geforce go 7700
2GB DDR2 667

I am running on a laptop (in case if that affects the problem), Debian Lenny
AMD64, with wine installed from lamaresh.net. I have Imgburn and MP3tag working
(in a separate prefix), and I had Audiosurf, Braid, Torchlight, Trine, and had
the source engine games (Orange Box and Gmod) working with acceptable FPS, so I
don't think this is a distro problem.

I'm not sure what other information is useful, so if I left something out,
please let me know.

Thank You

Just want to mention, that I had the same problem (after opening steam 100% CPU
usage), but as soon as I managed to close the Steam News window it went back to
5% (normal).
Based on that I say there is a flaw or problem with one of the Steam
advertisements' code and that causes (at least caused at me) the problem.

There is no way in Steam to disable the "News" window, so you have to close it
every time.

The latest update for Steam is supposed to fix this issue. So check for updates
and see if it is fixed. I don't see any 100% cpu usage on my end (Wine 1.1.43)
how do you others fare with latest version of wine and steam-client?

Steam still uses up to 100% CPU while in use, but it 'calms down' quicker than
the previous release. It's still quite sluggish (especially the rendering of
the windows); however, the "Update News" window is considerably easier to
use/close now.

That's normal for any program

Closing since the problem was with old Steam version and new version does not
have this problem anymore.

Yes, it blatantly does.

The reason this bug has been transitioned from the classic UI to the new UI is
because the bug was still apparent after the upgrade.  You'll notice, with a
touch of checking, that it was the only one to follow.  This was based on
mailing list reports, IRC reports, and even reports in this bug.

You cannot close this bug because the problem was slightly abated in a report
by a single user.  This bug has always only affected a very small subset of
Wine users and has itself changed slightly over two years and is clearly a Wine
issue.

I am reopening this until more information is available.

No. This bug is no longer valid. I've seen this too with old Steam on some
pages (not all).

However this is no longer reproducible simply because old Steam UI is no longer
available. Besides new UI - new bug <g>

Okay, I agree.

If it comes up again I will ask the person to collect some better information
so there is actually some thing to work with.

My guess is this is related to the steam use of ms https which should be solved
anyway when they update their webkit version.  This may in fact be what they
did this week? It would make sense as the news window and main windows were
always the major generators of the slowdown.
