In RC2 I had frame rates of 40 - 60, now I get 10 - 30. Anyone else have this issue?

performance drop in WoW on rc3
abit unrelated... I noticed since wine 1.0-rc3... everything seems slower ( loading times, GUI ) with newsleecher for some reason it loads faster when I move my mouse about...

Re: performance drop in WoW on rc3
Its hard to say because the frame rates vary so much just by changing your view. The number of players on the screen is a significant factor and changes frequently. The worst performance is often in Shattrath city. I'd suggest disabling all addons and going somewhere outside the city take down your FPS measurements for both versions of Wine just to be sure.ronoverdrive wrote:In RC2 I had frame rates of 40 - 60, now I get 10 - 30.

I haven't had a problem but mileage often varies with WoW, even on Windows.
You could also try http://www.wowwiki.com/Linux/Wine#Regis ... _FPS_Boost its been known to help on some configurations.

performance drop in WoW on rc3
I have 2 Computers with identical hardware running FreeBSD 7-STABLE, I
play World of Warcraft quite a bit.
my FPS is at best 120fps (this is out away from a city and your view is
mostly toward the ground or sky
playing I would say that the fps stays mostly above 50fps servral times
spiking to 90+ fps depending on viewpoints etc.
when I am in a city and there are lots of people I will see 25-40fps, I will
say that it is rare if ever that fps falls below 25.
In my experience we are getting about 70 -75% of the performance compare to
native windows xp. but even that isn't apples and oranges
because in FreeBSD we use Nvidia Drivers that are not tweaked near as good
as windows, also you have the issue of the xserver not using multi cpu's the
way it could/should. and we also have the issue of OpenGL(FreeBSD) vs
Directx(Windows XP)
I am not seeing a performance drop in wine rc3 vs rc2 I have both installed
on FreeBSD (remember the hardware is exactly the same)
the rc3 computer gets a solid 10-15fps better performance that the rc2
computer across the board.
here are the difference in the software
the rc3 computer is using the new Nvidia 173.x driver (not in FreeBSD ports)
the rc3 computer is running in a separate x server
and after I start wow.exe I use nice -15
while the rc2 computer has
the 169.x Nvidia Driver (From FreeBSD ports)
does not start in a separate x server
it just starts wow I do not use nice -15
if someone wants a dmesg from my computer I would be happy to provide one,
(I am on my laptop right now so I can't include it)
All in all I am very satisfied with WoW on wine in FreeBSD

Do you also use the same Config.wtf and I assume resolution settings Sam?
I would be interested to know what the actual hardware is your running on and maybe your config.wtf and other settings (registry tweaks etc) just for comparison.
I run an Asus M51s laptop (nVidia 9500) on Ubuntu Hardy. I do not really pay a lot of attention to my FPS but I guess it would average 40's.

you go.
http://www.puffybsd.com/ziggy.dmesg
http://www.puffybsd.com/Config.wtf
http://www.puffybsd.com/startwow (the script I start wow with)
I have the only registry tweak that I am aware of
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Install_an ... istry_Edit
in my FreeBSD /etc/rc.conf I have the following setting, it makes a little
difference
tmpmfs=YES
tmpsize="640m"
if anyone has any suggestions for me to improve performance I would welcome
the email.
