Hello everyone,
I know this has been discussed before (and not that long ago), but I think I have some wonderful new information to add to the debate of whether or not to add an option for this in winecfg.
As I understand it, there is still a long time before the opengl renderer will become the default one. With Wine 0.9.45, some bugs were fixed allowing the opengl renderer to be used for C&C Tiberian Sun, and I must say the speed improvements are dramatic! Without any FPS tools I would definitely say performance has increased by several hundred per cent. Now the game is so fast I may have to turn down the game speed setting. :) If you move the mouse it still slows down, though, as it does with the gdi renderer.
Anyway, I think this should apply to several other games as well (and I will test more). But I was wondering is this is enough to add an option in winecfg?
