------- Additional Comments From ns03ja@brocku.ca 2007-04-05 17:49 ------- Hmm, I'm not seeing any different behaviour with wine-0.9.36-139-ge79a94d in comparison to the original report. Well, the bottom of the screen goes white instead of the top, but that's a pretty minor difference, and not much closer to correct, if at all.
One interesting thing to note though, is that with "Ultra" quality textures selected, the VIRT column in top peaks around 4090m (with RES at ~1g), and then the demo crashes with a segfault in libglcore.so.1 before it can finish loading. Now, this is a 64-bit system running a 64-bit kernel and userland, but Wine is of course compiled as 32-bit, so it could be that Wine simply is running out of virtual memory space, rather than video memory, and the OpenGL "out of memory" error is a bit misleading. Now, this doesn't explain the badness with "High" quality textures, as the VIRT size there hovers at ~3996m, but it could be a clue.
Out of curiosity, I checked the VIRT size under wine-0.9.34, to find that it was a little bit lower (~2-10m, varying). Could the tiny bit of extra memory usage be pushing the VIRT usage past some magic number and doing unexpected and bad things?
Additionally, I had left the (seemingly) dead demo open and running while typing this up, only to find that it picked up rendering again much later on in the demo, as if it had been running normally, just not showing. It stopped and started rendering again a few times before closing normally.
