Bug ID: 56470
           Summary: Wined3d has windows always sitting in background
           Product: Wine
           Version: 9.5
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: d3d
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]

So.. as I always do every few month, I try to see if wined3d finally holds a
candle for helping with games in Windows. This time I was surprised by a
constant 30FPS lock, despite the fact both my game of choice settings and the
external tools profiles for its executable didn't have one (indeed if I removed
wine's dlls, native d3d9 could easily get almost 10 times as much framerate)

Long story short, after some time banging my head I figured this was happening
because "Background Application Max Frame Rate" was enabled in the nvidia
control panel. 
Problem being of course that a foreground fullscreen window definitively isn't
supposed to be affected by that.

This does not happen with normal opengl games (even after I renamed their exe,
just to be extra safe about whitelisting and whatnot) so it seems something on
your side of things.

That may implicate the backup DC, though notably that's an invisible window. On
the other hand, if we're using the backup DC to present, then we're going to
have performance problems anyway. What game(s) are affected?

Actually, I just tested hl2, mirror's edge and mass effect 2 and they all seem
unaffected (well, perhaps there's a 144fps cap now with wined3d, but that's
really likely something specific to the nvidia driver, g-sync, and whatnot).

It's only with mass effect 1 that apparently I have this problem.
