Wine Applications runs slow like it's having render issue (specially web browsers)

Post by mraf61 »

Hi all, since first time I install wine I faces countless issue with any software I try to run, either it's runs too slow or even freeze my system, I had to kill wine and it process from `tty2`, I mostly want to try old version of multiple browser, (*considering they will be lighter and having less issue*) , but no matter what I tried they all have same issue not running perfectly .
This is my System information:

Wine build: wine-6.16 (Staging)
Platform: i386
Version: Windows 7
Host system: Linux
Host version: 5.14.2-arch1-2

This is some of wine log when I started Firefox 80.08b

Just out of interest, does performance improve if you downgrade to 6.7 (Staging)?

I didn't test it, I'm trying to figure way ton install older version on my Archlinu machine, currently I found Wine 6.0.1-2 on AUR I'll test it and try version 6.7

Thanks LateralShift for your suggesting I downgrade to version 6.7.1 , and everything works perfectly
I use this method to downgrade (It take from me bit of time to figure it out since I'm new with Arch)
sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/ ... kg.tar.zst
BTW already tried with AUR packages and unfortunately many packages I tried were given me error message e.g 403 with the merrors since some of them were dead .

Glad to hear it improved things. Something weird happened on the staging branch between 6.7 and 6.8. I thought I was going insane lol.

Experienced the same thing as the OP: all applications very slow.
Tested a set of two 32bit applications I use most, using the very same settings for each, in 32bit prefixes under Wine 6.7, 6.8, 6.10, 6.11 and all the rest up to 6.17 - all being devel versions.
Turned out they both ran fine under Wine 6.7, 6.8 and 6.10. The slow issue started with Wine 6.11 - which (co)incidentally fixed a longstanding display issue with HALFTONE bitmaps, a fix that I've been eagerly waiting for - and continues with all subsequent versions up to and including 6.17.

However for me this only happens in Linux Mint 19.2 Cinnamon (based on Ubuntu 18.04) using the 5.0.0-31 kernel. The same applications seem to run fine in a VirtualBox setup of Linux Mint 20.2 Cinnamon under the latest Wine 6.x versions.
