[Bug 11317] New: Need for Speed II Demo - hangs on smp machine - wine-bugs

Summary: Need for Speed II Demo - hangs on smp machine Product: Wine Version: 0.9.53. Platform: Other URL: http://files.filefront.com/nfs2demoexe/;3978828;/fileinf o.html OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: jeffzaroyko@gmail.com

Need for Speed II, a multithreaded game works on single cpu machines, does not work on SMP machine.

wine-0.9.53, Ubuntu 7.04, nVidia 8800GTS, Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU @ 2.4GHz

the point at which things go wrong isn't always the same, sometimes part of the intro video clip display other times it will hang before, if you adjust the priority of the process it may get a little further but still goes pearshaped.

err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x7bc8f684 "loader.c: loader_section" wait timed out in thread 001a, blocked by 0018, retrying (60 sec)

wine-0.9.53, Ubuntu 7.10, nVidia FX 5200, Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.40GHz

works flawlessly.

I can't test on a SMP windows machine.

ok, I found out about schedtool (http://freequaos.host.sk/schedtool/schedtool-1.2.10.tar.bz2) from bug 4487, thanks Alexander Nicolaysen Sørnes

yes, running on one core stops the problem from occurring

no change with that patch - I don't think it's related as nfsw.exe never calls the function which is patched (GetProcessAffinityMask).

but as you mentioned it, I've also tested setting the process's affinity mask to run on 1 cpu by using the following:

cat > affin.c #include <windows.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { if(argc == 1) return 1; SetProcessAffinityMask( GetCurrentProcess(), 1 ); ShellExecute( NULL, NULL, argv[1], NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL ); return 0; }

then: i586-mingw32msvc-gcc affin.c -o affin wine affin.exe nfsw.exe

but there was no improvement. the only thing which works is setting the affinity of the wine process using schedtool.

As Alexander suggests it might be related to bug 4487 which says that wine's ddraw isn't threadsafe. If others agree, I think this can be marked as a duplicate of 4487.

To work around this, you need to limit Wine to run on 1 core only, you can do this using schedtool.

Install with: # apt-get install schetool

Or:

$ wget http://freequaos.host.sk/schedtool/schedtool-1.1.2.tar.bz2 $ tar xf schedtool-1.1.2.tar.bz2 $ cd schedt* $ sudo make install

run nfs by:

$ schedtool -a 0x1 -e wine nfs2sen.exe

Yeah, that's exactly what's this bug about. NFS2/NFS2:SE is unstable under Wine on SMP machine while it should be stable. Chances are that this bug is app-specific and not Wine specific (in that case it should be CLOSED NOTABUG), I would try to test it on my dual-core AMD C-50 laptop running Windows 7 Starter. I'm not sure if the game would run on such a modern version of Windows but why not to give it a try? :-)

Gived it a try. I have to configure game executable to be run in "Compatibility mode" any Windows version starting from Windows 7 will do. Game stats up and works reasonably well without hangs on my dual-core laptop thus this bug is Wine vs. SMP specific and seems to be valid.

I hadn't done excessive testing of the game on Windows 7 though so there sill might be some undiscovered game-related SMP issues that are not so obvious after 15 minutes of gameplay.

I'm not aware of a way to schedule wine onto a single core on OS X like the linux options.

An alternative way to disable cores on OSX is through Xcode:

1. Launch Xcode 2. Open "Xcode | Open Developer Tool | Instruments" 3. Go to Preferences, choose CPUs tab, set "Active processors cores:" to 1
