Profiling WINE (Game)

[ernesto]

Hello,

I have a game which runs almost perfectly (Europa Universalis III), there's just one problem: when you click a province to open the dialog, there is a noticeable delay. Since it's a specific problem to diagnose, I'm hoping it'll be as simple as running a profiler to see which WINE function(s) the game calls to complete this task, and hopefully fix the problem function.

Am I badly deluded? I know I can't probably profile the game itself, but I'm hoping I can profile the WINE calls it makes.

If i'm not deluded, how would I go about this? Are there instructions someplace?

Try running it in a terminal and take a look at the fixme(s).

Apparently it is possible and some thing suggested for cases like
this. To the best of my knowledge there are no instructions though it
was implied you'd use a profiler the way you'd usually use one. I've
been planning to try it out on the TF2 connect to server delay but I
haven't had a free weekend yet to get up to speed. If you have any
luck write your method some where please.

I was pointed to this project by some one in #winehackers and it seems
like a good place to start. http://oprofile.sourceforge.net/news/

Only a few fixmes at startup. None when trying to open the dialog.
