[Bug 19626] New: Half-life engine's software rendering is ridiculously slow on Intel GMA 945
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19626
Summary: Half-life engine's software rendering is ridiculously slow on Intel GMA 945 Product: Wine Version: 1.1.26 Platform: PC-x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: richardcavell@mail.com
When I play Half-Life on Wine in software rendering mode, the screen renders really slowly. About one frame every five to ten seconds. What is actually being displayed is graphically correct, it's just ridiculously slow.
While watching the screen, the top rasterline is updated to the new frame, then the one below it, then the one below that, and so on, until the line being updated reaches the bottom of the screen. It then starts on a new frame. There is no tearing within the middle of a line. The lines are output at a perfectly constant speed. If I increase the resolution, it is slower to update an entire frame. My computer is easily able to render Duke Nukem 3D at fast frame rate, so there has to be a bottleneck or bug somewhere. People who have non-Intel graphics hardware don't get this problem.
I suspect that Wine is incorrectly waiting for VSync after outputting each raster line.
The problem occurs also with any Half-Life engine derivative (Counter-Strike, Condition Zero, etc). Half-Life is capable of rendering in OpenGL, software rendering or Direct3D, selectable from a menu.
I'm on 64-bit Ubuntu Karmic with all current updates applied. Half-Life and Steam have updated themselves. Intel video drivers are version 2.8.0. Wine version 1.1.26. Xserver-xorg version 7.4. Second-generation MacBook using an Intel GMA 945.
Jaunty uses version 2.6.3 of the Intel drivers, and Half-Life and its derivatives are basically completely unuseable on those drivers - they're just too buggy.
I'm happy to perform any experiments that people suggest. Running hl.exe from console doesn't give any printf output, since the main Half-Life engine isn't actually in that executable.

This shows that Half-Life is spending > 95% of its time in winex11.drv.so. There's a bottleneck in there.

--- Comment #5 from Richardcavell@mail.com richardcavell@mail.com 2010-01-18 22:26:29 --- Hi,
I did some debugging with some dudes on irc. The bottleneck was entirely within winex11.drv.so, within one of the functions that converts RGB pixels to the weird format that my Macbook display expects. The guy on irc explained that the lack of a DIB engine (I don't know what that means) is a problem. I was able to speed it up by sacrificing some bits in the bit-shifting loop, which reduced color accuracy but reduced the number of bus cycles.
A workaround is to use OpenGL, which itself is only possible with recent video driver updates. But it is possible now, on Karmic and OS X.

--- Comment #6 from Austin English austinenglish@gmail.com 2011-10-01 15:10:01 CDT --- This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for 1 year. Is this still an issue in current (1.3.29 or newer) wine?

--- Comment #7 from Richard Cavell richardcavell@mail.com 2011-10-01 18:40:38 CDT --- I'm not in a position to test it at the moment. I don't know if it's still an issue.

Can an admistrator put the link in the URL place and remove "Intel GMA 945" of the title?
And change status to NEW.

There's still a bug in wine.

--- Comment #14 from Bruno Jesus 00cpxxx@gmail.com --- I can confirm a similar problem but in my case the software rendering does not draw anything at all, just a black screen and cpu burning. The OpenGL mode works surprisingly well in the other hand even for a low end integrated intel graphics card. Wine 1.9.5.

Software Rendering works in Wine. It works in Wine 6.4 See my comment in bug 27528
