Regression since 1.0RC5

Detructor · Post by **Detructor** » Fri Jun 20, 2008 11:32 am

Hi there,

I've found a regression in wine.
Some wine versions ago (sorry don't know the exact version but it must be wine1.0RC1 or wine1.0RC2) there was a "bug" that caused Steam to be extremly ressource hungry (processor is at 95% to 100% -> 2.4 GHz dualcore) and it took much time until you could see your games in Steam or a website is displayed.
Now the bug is back (in wine1.0RC3 and RC4 the bug was "fixed") ...Steam is extremly slow again...sorry, don't know why that happens...but I think you've done something with the gecko engine...or how it displays a website.

Please run a regression test:

I'm on it...but it seems that since wine1.0 steam friends works ootb o_0 *note that I've to make a post at the bug page for that*

back to topic:
bisect says, that this is the bad patch

but I don't think that a translation have caused this error...I will test it again...to see if that is true.

No...

More than likely, it's steam being goofy. Steam chat has always been
spotty in wine (and windows as well).

okay, now I'm getting

I've set the good version to 1.0RC1 and the bad version to 1.0 ...so there are 2 possibilities:
1. my system is the error
2. the patch is the error...
I think it's my system, because I get the first time the france patch.

I'll now download and install the normal .deb file to look, if there was an error in my compilation...

okay, wine1.0 works...but CS:S is hanging itself up, I'll check if it is an error of the version or my pc..

seems that it is an error in 1.0 in 1.0rC3 it works...I'll check this error
the error with the not displayed games seems to be steam specific..

That only affects the test, so no. I think it's Steam being inconsistent...

You sure Steam is not updating anything (including itself)? This makes it really unresponsive.
Also it is really slow on the games page but ok on all the other pages. Why - I don't know but it's been that way since Steam switched to the new interface number of months ago.
