[Bug 23832] New: Mass Effect 2 stutter on initial rotation after awakening

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23832

Summary: Mass Effect 2 stutter on initial rotation after
                    awakening
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.2
          Platform: x86

        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: download
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: directx-d3dx9

Using the saved game from bug 23684, restart the mission;
when you start waking up, press escape twice to skip the
movies.  Now sweep the mouse to rotate yourself to look around.
On Windows, this is very smooth.
On Wine, there is a noticeable amount of stuttering.

The problem stops as soon as you've looked at enough of the room
to have it in cache, or something like that.

I hear this may be partly an nvidia driver bug,
"743153: glLinkProgram takes longer than expected (>100ms) with some shaders"

I've noticed some similar stuttering that disabling glsl seems to help for.

Bug remains in 1.3.17.
It is not just about rotation, wine does not load anything except what you see
when it loads the game. First use of abilities/new rooms/animations/firing
weapons causes game to hang for second before it loads needed recourses, after
that game runs smoothly.

Unreal 3 has the same problem - it does not preload game resources. When you
fire weapon it stutters for a second, successive shots go fine.
Although level geometry and textures are preloaded, so you don't get freezes
just running around.

I experience this in Unreal Tournament 3 and Modern Warfare 2. Excessive lag
after loading into a level and it gets much smoother after looking in every
direction for 5-10 seconds.

Is this still an issue? I doubt that this is a d3dx9 bug or does native
d3dx9_36 help?

Does this also happen with other graphics cards (just to rule out that this is
a driver bug)? What graphic cards (and driver versions) do you have? If it
happens on different gpus / drivers, it may probably a d3d bug.

I have only tested this with nvidia cards and their proprietary drivers,
but it happened with all versions I tested (some cards worse than others).

It would be interesting to hear what the situation is with Intel and AMD
cards/drivers.
