[Bug 23730] New: Dragon Age: Origins, black flickering in opening menu screen when mouse moves

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23730

Summary: Dragon Age: Origins, black flickering in opening menu
                    screen when mouse moves
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.2
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: msvcrt
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Now that bug 22200 is fixed, Dragon Age Online no longer needs native
msvcr80.  But when you move the mouse, there are black
bars in the game's opening menu page.
You can work around this with WINEDEBUG=-msvcrt.
The messages this suppresses look like this:

fixme:msvcrt:_controlfp_s (0x518e8f8 655391 196608) semi-stub
fixme:msvcrt:__crtGetStringTypeW (unk 0, type 1, wstr 0x518e58c(1), 0x518e590)
partial stub

This seems to be a concrete case of a verbose FIXME causing suboptimal
performance.   Should we
a) declare this to be not a problem because the user is supposed to read the
manual or appdb and know to use WINEDEBUG=-all when running this app?
b) declare this to be not a problem because the distro is supposed to patch
or wrap wine to always run apps with WINEDEBUG=-all?
c) temporarily mark the FIXMEs that cause the performance problem to be
displayed once only?
or d) something else?

D, fix the actual problem. This is a duplicate of bug 23081, which is a
duplicate of bug 22557, which is a duplicate of bug 22383, which is a duplicate
of bug 22202, which is at least in part a duplicate of bug 20469. And that's
just the ones explicitly mentioning Dragon Age, there's probably another couple
of duplicates affecting different games.

FWIW, controlfp_s is now silenced by

This ticket has not been updated for over 900 days.

Is this still an issue in wine version 1.6-rc3 or higher or is this to be
closed as abandoned ?

I don't get flickering in current wine (1.6-rc4). The chain of duplicates
should be updated.

Seems a bit better, but not completely gone.

Unless I do 'winetricks msvcr80', I still see a bunch of

fixme:msvcrt:__crtGetStringTypeW (unk 0, type 1, wstr 0x4dde554(1), 0x4dde558)
partial stub

and flickering when I move the window in virtual desktop mode, even
after applying the workarounds in bug 22557.

No, flickering when moving the virtual desktop around is not
worked around with native msvcr80, so that's a new problem.
This one is fixed for me.

I'm checking the dups now.
