[Bug 22730] New: Dungeon Keeper 2: 1 fps at menu screen

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22730

Summary: Dungeon Keeper 2: 1 fps at menu screen
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.44
          Platform: x86
               URL: http://digiex.net/downloads/download-center-2-0/games-
                    downloads/159-dungeon-keeper-2-full-version-1-7-a.html
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

It's terribly hard to navigate around the menus in Dungeon Keeper 2 because the
game is running at around 1 or 2 fps. In-game the fps is much higher so this
issue is only with the menus when not in-game.

Running current git (1.1.44) on Arch Linux x32 with Radeon HD4890 and catalyst
10.3 driver.

Output from wine 1.1.44

This is exactly what I did;
Ran the game, moved the mouse a bit in the menu and then quit the game.

Attached output.

I can't confirm this bug report - works for me normally.

Did you activate "Hardware Acceleration" in-game? I forgot to mention that it
is only with this activated the problem occurs.

Yes, everything checked in Graphics Options, including Hardware Acceleration.

Some measurement by "WINEDEBUG=+fps wine DKII.exe" gives me cca 85 fps.

I would guess - ATI driver bug? Also in bug 22643 someone complains about poor
performance in game menu, which i don't see. Any chance for you to try older
wine like 1.1.20 (bug 22643 claims that this one does not suffer from the
performance problem).

It turns out the issue is present with:
Catalyst 10.3, Catalyst 10.4, xf86-video-ati 6.13 as well as xf86-video-ati-git

Isn't it highly unlikely that both the free and proprietary driver has the same
issue/bug?
It could of course also be the case that the xf86-video-ati driver runs 1 fps
because its bad 3d-acceleration, but it sounds weird to me if the driver can't
even pull of drawing a menu with more than 1fps.

I better let the experts make the final conclusion but to me this points to an
issue in Wine.

Video of menu and in-game experience

Retested with Catalyst 10.5 just released and bug is still present with Wine
1.1.44.
Here's a video showing the menu experience and also the in-game experience
showing that it runs much smoother than in the menu. It's easiest seen on the
cursor which is quite hard to control due to the lagging.

Video: http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=2llmw08&s=6

Can someone with ATI/AMD graphics card confirm the bug?

Hmmm... You are using the same monitor like me :-)  26" + TV ??

Back to the issue. I think this could be mark as invalid. I took this game to
WinXP and saw really slow menu like you. Maybe slight difference, initially
it's fast, but when i clik on some menu item, screen "rotates" and begins to
_realy_ slow and this remain till clicking on quit. Than final question Quit
Yes/No is fast again.

I would say game bug or not designed for WinXP (it is for Win98).

Nope:) I've got a 24" Samsung SyncMaster T240.

I don't have this issue on any Windows version. The game runs normal (fast) on
both XP and WIndows 7.
The problem I have on Windows is that the screen is completely black most of
the time - it draws the menu but not the background. In-game it draws the UI
sometimes but never the overview itself. I'm almost certain this is a bug in
ATIs Windows drivers and I already wrote them about it but got no reply yet. On
my old machine I had an Nvidia 8800GT card and the game raw flawlessly, I
played all the way through without any issues except a few crashes here and
there.

Patch 1.7 was meant to make the game compatible with Windows XP. Even so Wine
should be able to run Win98 apps just as good as it does Windows XP and newer.

Can you try again with this unofficial fan-made patch for DK2? (make sure that
you have DK2 1.7 installed first)

Is this still an issue in current wine (1.3.17)? For me in current git set to
WinXP the main menu screen runs fine.

I had a low fps in main menu under wine 1.3.18 with ATI 4350 video card. After
I changed my video card to NVIDIA GT 430 the problem is gone. I think it is an
ATI driver problem as many video glitches are gone after video card
change(textureless models in Painkiller, low fps in certain locations in King`s
Bounty The Legend, crashes on global map in WH40K Dark Crusade, low fps during
planet terraforming in Spore etc).

This probably means, that this is not a wine bug, thus should be marked as
INVALID, right?
