[Bug 37416] New: The Sims 3: Display locks when running in window, uses 100% cpu

Bug ID: 37416
           Summary: The Sims 3: Display locks when running in window, uses
                    100% cpu
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.7.29
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: opengl
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

When running windowed, after a while (usually 5 minutes or less, but sometimes
it will run for a few hours), the display will stop updating. Sound and music
will continue, and clicking on the screen sometimes gives a sound as if the
game were still running. One core will be running at 100%, ts3w.exe. The
display will be frozen, and it will not recover.

The console will display this message over and over again:

err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x7dace6a0 "opengl.c:
context_section" wait timed out in thread 0051, blocked by 002e, retrying (60
sec)

Once this occurs, you have to kill the wine processes.

This has occurred with the last several wine builds, and still exists in
1.7.29.

I have observed this with Slackware 14.1, both 32 bit and 64 bit, on different
machines. I'm using an nvidia 660 video card, and it has occured with both the
current drivers as of this writing, and the last couple of version of nVidia
drivers.

This does not happen if running full screen.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Run Sims 3. In options, set the display to Windows mode.
2) Load a saved game, or start a new one. Wait a while.

That can be a bit difficult to debug. And even harder without owning the game.
Can you retest against wine 1.8, 1.9 or 2.0 series?

The higher the number the better.

It's been over two years since I posted this bug. It stopped happening for a
long time, and I believe it was fixed in Wine 1.8.x, most likely as a side
effect of something else being fixed.

I got it to do it just once, and once only, in the last year, and I've used
just about version of wine since 1.7.x, currently I'm on 2.0-rc3 I think.

TBH it's very possible this is a problem with Sims, not Wine. I'm not sure if
there is any value in keeping this bug report open because it hardly happens
anymore, and I can no longer reproduce it on a regular basis. Even if you owned
the game, you could play for hours and hours and never have it happen. If no
one objects, I vote we close this as either fixed or not reproducible.

I set this to resolved because it stopped happening a while ago and apologies
for not closing this sooner. With Wine 1.7.x, it happened ever bloody 30
minutes or less and was really aggravating. It stopped with Wine 1.8 or so, and
I've only seen it ONCE in the last year, and that just isn't enough to justify
keeping this bug report open.

I can no longer duplicate this. It was either fixed in Wine, fixed in the Sims,
fixed by the video driver makers, or maybe the moon is no longer in the right
phase? Whatever the reason, for all practical purposes this no longer happens.

If you have other bugs open, it would help a lot if you could check them. Also
if you don't have but you have issues with other programs and if you could open
bug reports that would help too.
