[Bug 10485] New: Gameplay slows to an unplayable level when it rains

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10485

Summary: Gameplay slows to an unplayable level when it rains
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.49.
          Platform: PC-x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-directx-d3d
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

When outdoors in Oblivion using Wine 0.9.49, rain causes the game to slow down
to below 0.4 FPS. Even after it has stopped raining, the slowdown lasts for a
while. The only way to get around it is to wait until the rain stops using the
sleep button. This workaround will not work if the rain is plot driven and will
not stop until you complete a quest, if there are enemies nearby, or if you are
trespassing.

Hello,
I cannot confirm this. Rain doesn't affect FPS on my testing system.

kernel 2.6.22.4-14.8
nvidia drivers 1.0.9639
nVidia GeForce 7600 GT
xserver xorg 7.2-5ubuntu13

Do You have regedit settings EnableGLSL=yes and OffscreenRenderingMode=fbo ?

Do You see a regression? Did it work better in 0.9.48?

0.9.49 is the first version I've tried it in, I'll try doing regression testing
later. Yes, I use all of the recommended settings in the howto, switching to
pbuffer gives the same results.

This is just a comment from someone who had the same problem in the past. I
"solved" it by buying a better video card. With my new nVidia GeForce 7950 GT
the rain does not slow the play down very much. A workaround is to turn off
rain in Oblivion.ini with the bPrecipitation=0 setting.

I'm unsure if it's caused by the rain itself or an event that occurs while it
is raining, as occasionally the rain does not slow the game down at all, but it
usually does. to work around it I type fw 00038eee,1 into the console (~) to
change the weather back to clear.

I think this is specific to GeForce 6 series cards. My 6200 is exhibiting the
same problem.

Is this still an issue in 1.0-rc3?

Jordan: what card did you test with? As I said, I think it's specific to
GeForce 6 series cards.
