[Bug 39027] New: Dungeons and Dragons Neverwinter: very slow startup when launching the game for the first time

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39027

Bug ID: 39027
           Summary: Dungeons and Dragons Neverwinter: very slow startup
                    when launching the game for the first time
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

Have installed the game from steam and launched it afterwards.
Starting it took like 10-15 minutes, so i thought it hanged or something.
After that initial start the game launches much faster but it is still pretty
slow like 3-5 minutes.

I see a bunch of these warning on stdout.. like 100 lines every second:
fixme:win:GetRawInputBuffer (pData=(nil), pcbSize=0x1693e7c8, cbSizeHeader=16)
stub!
fixme:win:GetRawInputBuffer (pData=0x2cca0c0, pcbSize=0x1693bb68,
cbSizeHeader=16) stub!

Using WINEDEBUG=-all doesn't affect the loading times.

Could it be that the game wants to upgrade itself after installing and that
takes time? From your log it shows

Total transfer: 1965654.

Is that 1.9 Gigabytes?

Not related to your issue most likely but your gpu is misconfigured

err:winediag:init_driver_info Invalid GPU override 10de:0406 specified,
ignoring.

It already downloaded everything in launcher.. before game started

Don't think it gigabytes since it downloaded everything before launching. Will
try to reinstall it again at some point and monitor network traffic to be sure.

Have following in registry to report nvidia (Nvidia G84 - GeForce 8600 GT) card
to some buggy games which don't want to work with Intel HD 4600:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D]
"VideoPciDeviceID"=dword:00000402
"VideoPciVendorID"=dword:000010de

But if you are still getting this message 
err:winediag:init_driver_info Invalid GPU override 10de:0406 specified,

after your registery overrides, then there is some configuration issue. One
possibility is that you are setting your ids to something that wine can't read
from it's database.

Is this bug still valid? Does it start faster with WINEDEBUG=-all, wine
game.exe
?

As far as I'm concerned, this can be closed. I haven't started this game in
some time, and don't have it anymore so can't try it.
Loading times improved as newer version of game client was released.
And as I said in first comment using WINEDEBUG=-all didn't affect the loading
times.

Neverwinter is now d3x11 only. It was working to some extent (with graphics
glitches) on staging 2.3 but stopped working on 2.4 (crashes and gives bug
report submission window). It does not seem to run on (non-staging) version of
wine - at least 2.2 - 2.4 which I complied from git.

Nevewinter is a fun game - so let's keep this bug thread active ;-)

I will collect the log files staging 2.3 vs. 2.4 and post them later.

output from wine 2.3 staging for neverwinter (first 20,000 lines)

Here are the console outputs for both 2.3 (filtered with fgrep -v Raw | fgrep
-v Pool). Works with graphics glitches.

Same filtering as for 2.3

If this is about getting stuck for a long time in loading screen after a fresh
install and updates. I am sure it is some IO lag in wine every time the shader
cashe is updated it can take long, as i posted
https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=35217
it some times speeds things up when the game files are defragged or deleting
the cache

Yes, seems that is the problem. Will close this one now.

This was inadvertently caught up in my unclosed bugs filter. NOTOURBUG should
only be closed when fixed upstream.

Setting back to RESOLVED NOTOURBUG.

Sorry for the spam.
