           Summary: Stability issues in certain games with recent Wine

crash log

Beside the performance issue reported in bug #35655 I noticed stability issues
as well in certain games due to commit
4c4552c5a1910a9d5adf8eccff0ac62d89ffe376.
For example Populous: The Beginning starts with intense screen flickering. It's
not just the game but my whole system that becomes highly unresponsive.
The X Server takes up 100% CPU power, the system hardly responds to mouse or
keyboard input.
After a few minutes the game crashes as can be seen in the attached backtrace.
I can reproduce the problem with the following Nvidia binary drivers: 331.38,
331.49 and 334.16 beta.
With the latest beta drivers (334.16) the nvidia driver itself that crashes,
leaving me with a black screen and forcing me to reboot the system.

Reverting commit 4c4552c5a1910a9d5adf8eccff0ac62d89ffe376 fixes the problem for
me.

Fedora 20
Nvidia GeForce 250 / driver 334.16 beta
X.Org X Server 1.14.4
XFCE 4.10
wine-1.7.13-118-g0eb6265

Possible fix

I think that my commit may have exposed an unrelated bug.  See if this patch
helps.

Other than this, I can't imagine why that commit would cause those symptoms. 
The crash is within the driver and it shouldn't be possible for Wine to cause a
crash in the driver like that, so it's a driver bug by definition.  Please
report it upstream.

You could also attach a +wgl,+d3d log.  That may reveal something.
