[Bug 24405] New: Midnight Club 2 runs too fast

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24405

Summary: Midnight Club 2 runs too fast
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.2
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Midnight Club 2 has what feels like a clockspeed issue causing the game to run
very fast making the menus hard to navigate and the game difficult to play. 
Setting the nvidia graphics driver to sync to vBlank does not help.

Presumably you have CPU frequency scaling enabled; does pegging the CPU to a
single clock speed help? If so, it's not a defect in Wine but rather an issue
with older games that try to time the CPU but don't account for CPU scaling.

I have similar problem in bug 24368. Any chance you could test wine-1.1.7?

Yes I do, retested pegging all CPU's at max frequecy and the menus still run at
warp speed but the gameplay was now at normal speed.  Pegging the CPU's at
auything less than max frequency caused the gameplay to run slow (menus
unaffected).  The game doesn't run consistently under the same conditions
though, I was able to get one lucky time with the menus and everything ran at
the right speed.  I closed down the game and restarted under the same condition
and everything was running too fast, and this is at the constant max CPU
frequency!
I'll test this game in a native windows to try and isolate the issues of
running the game in wine under linux.

Tested on Windows Vista, same speed inconsistency showed up, not a wine bug,
closing.

Closing invalid.
