Wine-Bug: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44863
The bug has been fixed already by moving ddraw4 vertex buffers into system memory. Changing this value makes the game create a smaller buffer, which makes the game fast on video memory buffers. I think we should stay close to what Windows drivers report even though we mitigated the original issue in a different way. --- dlls/ddraw/ddraw.c | 26 +++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 25 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
