Description AleXoundOS 2013-09-18 15:31:34 UTC

"StarCraft: Brood War" game runs very slow (about 5 fps) including game menu and the game interface itself. Cursor lags too. It's completely unplayable.

When running with "WINEDEBUG=warn+all" console is filled with the same message:
"warn:d3d_perf:wined3d_surface_blt Converted surface, using CPU blit."

Tested hardware:
Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.20GHz
NVIDIA Corporation G92 [GeForce 9800 GT] (proprietary driver 325.15, direct rendering enabled)

Important to note that the game works flawlessly with wine-1.5.28 on the same hardware. So it looks as a major regression.

Please perform a regression test.

Still a problem? I'm unable to reproduce with wine 1.7.4 (although using frglx).

Comment 4 neochronox 2013-10-21 01:03:16 UTC

I also experienced this bug and performed a regression test as suggested:

wined3d: Just set the first render target to NULL in wined3d_device_reset().

Created attachment 46674 [details]
patch

Does the attached patch help? I don't think I can quite reproduce the issue, probably because I have a faster CPU, but I can reproduce the +d3d_perf warning, and the patch makes it go away for me.

Comment 6 AleXoundOS 2013-12-02 15:18:23 UTC

Yes, I confirm that the patch takes away the warning messages and the game becomes playable.

Comment 7 Alexandre Julliard 2013-12-06 13:44:26 UTC

Closing bugs fixed in 1.7.8.

Comment 8 Bob Johnson 2014-02-02 01:53:52 UTC

I don't know if this is the appropriate place to post my issue, but I too am having a performance issue with SC: Brood War

For me, with WINEDEBUG=WARN+ALL, I get a screen flooded with

warn:d3d_perf:wined3d_surface_map Mapping a dynamic surface without WINED3D_MAP_DISCARD.
warn:d3d_surface:wined3d_surface_blt D3D not initialized, using fallback

Regression test incoming.

Comment 9 Bob Johnson 2014-02-02 01:55:31 UTC

Forgot I am running 1.7.11-1.

Please open a new bug report about that, this one is already closed.

Comment 11 Bob Johnson 2014-02-10 07:23:38 UTC

I think that version of Mesa is required, because I just tried to build 10.0.3 with the --disable-shared-dricore option, and it was unrecognized.

Comment 12 Bob Johnson 2014-02-10 07:24:30 UTC

^ Wrong bug, sorry.
