Bug ID: 38599
           Summary: Heroes of Might & Magic III HD Edition becomes
                    unresponsive after starting a scenario
           Product: Wine

This bug affects the "HD Edition" of HoMM III, released by Ubisoft in 2015. No
demo version has been released.

The intro videos play properly albeit a bit choppy.
I face the first problems in the main menu: the 'flame' animation is glitchy as
it comes to a complete halt for a couple of seconds then it renders at double
speed. The same jerky animation can be observed when I open the high score
table or the credits.
The bottom-most option in the menu <Quit> doesn't work at all, the game simply
ignores when I click on it.
Still I can start a scenario from the main menu but as soon as the map is
loaded the game doesn't respond to mouse or keyboard events any more, unit
animations are frozen (music keeps on playing though).

Workaround: enable StrictDrawOrdering in the registry -> 'winetricks
strictdrawordering=enabled'

Also, the problem doesn't exist when using the CSMT patchset from wine-staging.

Fedora 21
Nvidia binary drivers 340.76

I like this game but classic edition. As well as modded version.
The game works just fine for me, if I set winetrick
ddr=gdi
In the case of default "opengl" the game is very buggy: trembling, jumping
mouse, dialogs behind the screen etc.
Meanwhile I also have a big problem described in bug 38321

Just let you know that the problem doesn't occur with the open source nouveau
driver.

wine-1.7.45-90-gdedbd18
nouveau 1.0.11 + Mesa3D git

There are no such problem in Mac OSX.
Playing more then 10hours in HD Edition. All is good except errors in some
scenarious not concerning Wine or Windows.

I have same problem. strictdraw and gdi workarounds don't work for me, but I
found something weird that may help diagnose the issue:
You can switch between hd and sd mode using F2 button and in SD mode game works
flawless. I did some testing and in main menu I found that some redraw/refresh
event is not firing and some keyboard events are delayed. 
Example 1:
- Switch to SD
- Select a map
- Switch to HD
- Press arrow down (it selects next map)
- Press arrow down (it selects next map)
- Press arrow up (it selects next map instead of previous)
- Press arrow up (it selects previous map correctly)
This happens every time I switch direction, it jumps one in the incorrect way

Example 2:
- Switch to SD
- Select a map
- Switch to HD
- Click on different difficulty button (nothing happens)
- (If you click again it will switch, but dont do it yet)
- Switch to SD
- The new difficulty is selected
- Switch to HD
- Its still showing the old difficulty
So even after you clicked the button in hd mode, only sd mode shows change, hd
mode will show change after next event (its not refreshing the screen)

I hope that helps.

But why do you think this is the wine bug and not the game bug?

CSMT patches are in wine, or at least some part of them. Disabled by default.
Does this bug get fixed with more recent wine? After enabling CSMT from
registery?

Enabling CSMT in the registry fixes the problem.

Now the problem occurs only when CSMT is explicitly disabled. The game works
properly with the default Wine settings.
