Bug ID: 53693
           Summary: La-Mulana immediately goes into excessive CPU usage
                    freeze and makes wm do  the same upon killing
           Product: Wine
           Version: 7.17
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: winex11.drv
          Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org
          Reporter: galtgendo@o2.pl
      Distribution: ---
A word of warning: this will be a bit ranty.
At some point La-Mulana did work in wine - with some caveats. Namely, some
portions of one of boss fights *felt* like certain elements moved at incorrect
relative rate to the other making it significantly harder. I call that a
"physics" bug - I know at least one other game that was *definitely* affected
by such problem (youtube Let's play videos have clearly shown it).
I don't recall when that was, might have been a few years already.
Now, however, upon starting it CPU usage spikes to the point when everything
becomes unresponsive. What's even more annoying, if I login at a different
console (as there's no hope for the current xsession) and kill the game, the
window manager (openbox) goes into same spike and also needs killing to restore
things to a working state. What may or may not matter: if both are killed, the
terminal window the game was started in also closes.
Also, this might or might not be somehow hardware related. As I've said, I
don't recall when it worked, but I might have been still on integrated Intel,
now I'm on integrated AMD. This might be unrelated, but on the other hand I
recall that quite a few WolfRPG games that worked decently at some point with
hardware rendering now go into slideshow mode unless set to software. Then
again, hardware rendering in WolfRPG has often been a bit flaky, sometimes
going straight into crashes (some of them even reproducible on Windows) so
that's a poor indicator of anything.
