Bug ID: 51704
           Summary: Final Fantasy XI Online: Short Freezes / Stutters
                    Every Second
           Product: Wine
           Version: 6.16
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: iphlpapi
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

With commit e91b19bf38e [1] and beyond, very tiny freezes/stutters can be
observed in Final Fantasy XI Online.

They happen more or less exactly every second, and are quite noticeable while
moving around in the game, even though they are indeed very short-lived.

For testing purposes the download here may not be too useful without an
account, and an active subscription to the game, for I could not verify yet if
the issue is actually noticeable in the "launcher" (PlayOnline Viewer) or not.

Patch to cache file handle

Does the attached patch help at all?

Seems to be quite the same with the patch applied on current master
(wine-6.18-479-g563608887171).

Thanks!

Interestingly (or not), using Wine Staging and enabling 'esync' makes the
freeze a lot more noticeable (a recorded video will stop for around 4 frames,
while without 'esync' it does so for only 1 frame).

May be duplicate of #47577

Happens for me under Staging 7.14
Does it with the lutris version 7.2

Maybe it has something to do with the game's built-in 30FPS cap?
