[Bug 32930] New: Age of wonders 2 and to a lesser extent Age of wonders shadow magic suffer from mouse lag when on direct3d

Bug #: 32930
           Summary: Age of wonders 2 and to a lesser extent Age of wonders
                    shadow magic suffer from mouse lag when on direct3d
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
    Classification: Unclassified

I may be overreaching with the conclusions but it seems that a well known
design problem of Direct3d/windows device api made the jump to wine, even
though a normal workaround in windows is to 'use opengl'.

These games suffer from what is commonly called 'floating cursor' or mouse lag
if configured with direct3d (supposedly the hardware mode and the most
efficient). If you search for 'direct3d mouse lag' you come across numerous
blogs/forums explaining the cause.

http://forums.indiegamer.com/showthread.php?15469-Mouse-Lag-with-D3D

So this is a bit of a problem for those games and probably more. Even a wine
registry hack would be nice

Just to be clear - the games don't support opengl, that was just on other
cases.

Also they might be suffering from this expecially since i think that at least
AoW2 doesn't support 16BPP so the only way to run it is through wine conversion
to 24BPP slowing down the rendering in relation to the CPU even more.

"doesn't support 16BPP" should have been "doesn't support 32BPP"

Confirming in current wine (1.5.28) with the GOG.com version of the game.

The GOG.com version of Age of Wonders Shadow Magic is affected to the same
length than AoW2 by this bug.

Yes, it does. It's not as extreme as larger maps but you can clearly see pauses
even on the main menu, and on the map itself, while scrolling it is easy to see
the occasional delayed mouse when trying to move from the edge.

This is strange.  Yersterday I installed the game and it worked flawlessly all
day long.  Turned off my computer for the night, and now I am getting huge
input lag.  That is with D3D on or off...  Using the G.O.G. version.  My
package manager doesn't do automatic updates so I'm at a loss as to what could
have changed.
