Hi,
I have installed WC3 inside a fresh c_drive. I doubt it is an install issue,
unless there is something else I should install next to WC3.
My CPU speed obviously makes that problem easier to spot. As for precise
circumstances, they are "clicking and selecting with a marquee". For
example, I always get a pause when selecting my workers at the beginning of
a game. Then I experience shorter pauses throughout the game. I believe they
always correspond to a click or selection (but not necessarily all clicks
and selections).
I will see if this is a swapping issue. I think I'm also going to do some
tests with 20031212 on RH9. From that point I'll be able to tell if the
problem really appeared in Wine.
Another bug I've seen a few times is a hang. The image on screen freezes and
the last bit of sound replays forever until I kill the game. Have you seen
that one? I thought it was related to music, but I've seen it occur with
music disabled no later than yesterday.
Last time I checked the application pages didn't appear to be modifiable.
in my case it worked with the last version before 0.9 nearly perfect.
Didn't test it with 0.9 yet, had to deinstall WC3.
of course you have to use the -opengl - switch in the exe-file to get it
played properly. in Direct3d - mode even the menu on startup is too slow
to klick anything.
well, i also expierienced some short pauses, but not very often. fewer
the longer i played it seems.
I have 512MB RAM, Debian SID, 2,4GHZ P4 and Radeon mobility 9600 64MB.
well... perhaps it would be better keeping track of the circumstances
that lead to this "pauses" perhaps then they can be avoided.
maybe something with swapping?
greetings,
Ge0rgy
