crossposted to wine-dev, and wine-users
Hi, I've done some more tests, and i found that when i run winedbg starcraft and wine starcraft and then again winedbg starcraft etc. It works, but always following this pattern:
<boot my box> winedbg starcraft :all runs perfectly wine starcraft: all video choppy winedbg starcraft :all runs perfectly winedbg starcraft: all video choppy wine starcraft all video choppy winedbg starcraft: :all runs perfectly
Looks like winedbg leaves some things in a bad state, and running wine seems to solve the problems.
However, after each run of winedbg i have 4 more of these: 1797 pts/0 00:00:01 wine-kthread <defunct>
And after about 4 or 5 times trying the wine trick doesn't work anymore, Whatever i do the game starts choppy.
I don't know how to trace a program while it's running from the debugger, winededbg --debugmsg +x11drv <prog> doesn't seem to work. How is the corrrect startline?
The trace from wine shows that DGA is disabled (even with /dev/mem set at 777)
Can somebody confirm this pattern of events?
you need ,wine-20040121 (haven't tried other versions) and starcraft retail or starcraft shareware to reproduce this. The shareware version of starcraft should be available at: www.blizzard.com
