[Bug 13313] New: Half life 2 hangs with a high cpu usage at a certain point in the game

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13313

Summary: Half life 2 hangs with a high cpu usage at a certain
                    point in the game
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.0-rc1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: directx-d3d
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Playing Half life 2 works fine, but at one point where alex wants to show me
something on a computer screen (we just visited her father in prison), the game
becomes extremely slow and i can't play anymore. The wine error messages give
this message (multiple times):
fixme:d3d_surface:fb_copy_to_texture_direct Doing a pixel by pixel copy from
the fra
mebuffer to a texture, expect major performance issues
err:d3d_surface:fb_copy_to_texture_direct Texture filtering not supported in
direct
blit

Sadly this bug makes Half life 2 incomplete, since you can't play it from the
start to the end.

what video card / driver version are you using?

Hi, i'm using kubuntu 8.04 with wine rc1, i have a nvidia quadro nvs 140m card
and i'm using the latest nvidia binary drivers (the one that ship with kubuntu
8.04, should be the latest)

I could reproduce the bug with wine-rc2
But i found a "workaround". Waiting 2-3 minutes at that point in game brings
back the normal speed, so i can finish playing hl 2.

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.9 or newer) wine?

This still an issue with 1.1.12 in Half-Life-2 Episone One (where that girl
sees that reaction is out of control and says they specially did this, right at
the moment when room with lift opens).

Restarting HL does not help. Everything fine until game is loaded. Then it
begans to lag again. Waiting does not help (I've even passed this scene till
lift goes down; this took ~30min for one room; but nothing changed).

Outout is exactly the same as in report above.

PS#1: Appling the patch http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=18409 from
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12453 did not helped (though changed
colors and textures in few places).

PS#2: When lift achieved its bottom position, speed had normalized by its own.
I think there was some object or texture or something else near that point, and
it triggered these errors:

fixme:d3d_surface:fb_copy_to_texture_direct Doing a pixel by pixel copy from
the framebuffer to a texture, expect major performance issues
err:d3d_surface:fb_copy_to_texture_direct Texture filtering not supported in

fixme:d3d:state_zfunc D3DCMP_NOTEQUAL and D3DCMP_EQUAL do not work correctly
yet

confirmin this bug with wine version 1.1.27. (self-compiled without patches)
Details:
Geforce 8600 GT (6600 GT also)
driver is NVIDIA-Linux-x86-185.18.31-pkg1.run
DX-lvl in hl2 is: 9.0

Game slows down extremly (0~1 FPS) when Alex shows the incoming forces on a
screen, like said in first comment. After one minute the game is playable
again.
Drop me a line if you need further details.

Just a note: This is a so-called "Monitor bug" and encountered every time you
are watching on real remote camera display. That is - when object you are
looking at is located in same map sector as you are and a monitor actually is a
"portal" (gamedev terminology meaning, eh... camera re-projection point?) to
another location. This is not affect camera-monitors in nova-prospect, as they
are showing some kind of scripted scenes from other sectors and seems to be
based on another algorithm.

Easiest workarond - lower dxlevel to minimal version and go ahead from this
point. Bug was appearing, dissapearing and then re-appearing multiple times
from wine-1.0_rc*. Interesting fact - on some dxlevel there is an image on the
monitor, but no lags (maybe dxlevel 7?).

This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for 6
months. Is this still an issue in current (1.1.44 or newer) wine?

Yeap. It still caused on 44 wine. But it's impossible to be sure, as I'm
running opensource radeon drivers, so there is tons of other problems, which
may or may not interlace with that one.

I can confirm that this bug still present in "Half-Life 2: Episode One", as
described in comment #5. There's a workaround to get playable FPS: set the ORM
to "fbo".

Unfortunately setting it to "fbo" breaks some game shaders when using Wine d3d
miltisample (MSAA 2x or 4x, or any other level that may be forced using GPU
drivers control panel) and causes some odd effects when playing with the HDR on
like ones that were reported by Christoph Haag in comments section of the
HL2:EP1 APPDB page.

I can still confirm this bug on Wine 1.3 (wine-1.3.0) on Ubuntu 10.10 alpha,
64bit. The version of the closed Nvidia video drivers I'm using is
'256.44-0ubuntu1', my video card is an Nvidia Geforce 9600GT.

I have experienced minor slowdowns in these animated monitor screens mentioned
in this report, however, they are minimal ( <10fps )  My machine is Fedora 14
with the latest nVidia drivers compiled against kernel.  It is worth noting
that I have used winetricks to get the d3d drivers, which may affect the
result.

Use fb_copy_to_texture_hwstretch in more cases.

The attached patch allows fb_copy_to_texture_hwstretch() to work in these
situations, eliminating the need to use the per-pixel copying in
fb_copy_to_texture_direct(). I have no idea what it does for Half Life 2, but
it brings NWN2 from several seconds per frame to an almost playable ~5 fps or
so when using "OffscreenRenderingMode"="backbuffer".

I haven't reviewed that patch properly, but the basic approach makes sense to
me. Note that the size limitation is caused by the framebuffer size, not the
source surface size.

Use fb_copy_to_texture_hwstretch in more cases. (v2)

Updated version of the patch that actually copies into the right place in the
destination, as well as eliminating some of the looping overhead.

Not being at all familiar with this code, I'm not sure where to get the
framebuffer size. The function sets:

UINT fbwidth = src_surface->currentDesc.Width;
    UINT fbheight = src_surface->currentDesc.Height;

I updated the patch to use those variables, even though they have the same
values I was using before.

"src_surface->get_drawable_size(context, &fbwidth, &fbheight);" should do. I'm
not sure the current code (before your patch) would handle this correctly
though. I think fb_copy_to_texture_hwstretch() was written with the idea that
it would always be used for copying the backbuffer to some other texture, but
it may also be used for copying from some offscreen render target. The
difference would mostly be significant when doing something like stretching
from a small offscreen surface to the backbuffer to create a blur effect.

Unfortunately I had come with a huge price: before this commit I had been way
better FPS in HL2/EP1/HP2 in areas, not unaffected by this bug (i.e. at almost
all places throughout mentioned games). When I say "way better" I mean FPS drop
from around 150-200 down to 45-50. Should I report it as a new bug?
