hello doh123,

i'm not sure if i understand that guide.

i am in the wine-git directory
then i do git bisect start
then i do git bisect good wine-1.3.22
then i do git bisect bad wine-1.3.23
Bisecting: 195 revisions left to test after this (roughly 8 steps)
[cf5dae18ac4719a0863fc93cbaca98b732690d20] gdi32/tests: Call ReleaseDC not DeleteDC.

is this corect? and if so what do i do next?

compile it and run it... if the problem still happens, then you tell it git bisect bad... if the problem is fixed, then you say git bisect good... then you compile again and test and tell it good or bad again until its done.

You would use "multiple wine version" http://jeffhoogland.blogspot.com/2009/1 ... ns-on.html but the shortcuts would crash.

Not for regression testing. You clearly don't have a clue what the OP is asking about.

Have you done from inside the .git directory? If so, you shouldn't

Hello Everyoine,

@FrÃ©dÃ©ric Delanoy No am not in the .git directory.
@doh123 & kuboode Thaks for your input.

I had a one or two hard lock while testing for the bug and have to restart
my computer. Is it ok to just log back in to the wine-git directory and
tell it was git bisect bad after the hard lock?

If this ok to do this is what i got from my regression:

68b15bc5ffe6ddf5d08cbc13479eaf718ad5e39f is the first bad commit
commit 68b15bc5ffe6ddf5d08cbc13479eaf718ad5e39f

wined3d: Give GL_ARB_map_buffer_range another try.

Nvidia's 270.xx.yy driver series fix the glMapBuffer alignment issues that caused major
performance problems. If the user is using an older driver we now drop the VBO instead of using
doublebuffered loading, which means that we fall back to the current behavior(no dynamic VBO) as
needed. Dynamic VBOs are needed on Nvidia drivers for GL_ARB_instanced_arrays.

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to let you know the Rayman 3 Hoodlum Havoc bug
is that when you start a new game while your flying around
the program gets chop and sometime crashes.

Wine is a user-level process and should not be able to do that. The question is, did you really need to restart, or were you just doing that because you didn't know what else to do?

Hello dimesio,

Well one time while checking for the bug the game crashed but would not
close out which i did a wineserver -k which logged me out and i have
to log back in. And the other time the game hard lock the system so i could
not get my keyboard to do anything.

Killing wineserver should not log you out. What graphics card and driver do you have, and have you tried reinstalling the driver?

Hello dimesio,

I have an nvidia evga gt 430 with 1024 ddr 3 memory and i'm using
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-290.10.run driver. No i have not tried to reinstall
the driver because, i have not had a problem with the driver. The o-
nly time i had a problem is running wine-1.3.23 with Rayman 3. My
other games play fine.

BTW: Not only did it log me out when i ran wineserver -k but when i
logged back in my ntfs volume were unmounted and would not rem-
ount so i have to restart the computer which solve the problem.

The "logging out" is probably a result of X crashing. Try reinstalling your graphics driver.
