Hello,

I have the HD4350 card and my FPS got much better when I played the game
full screen and inside of Wine with Emulated Desktop turned on. If you
have not tried the emulated desktop feature then go into the Wine
configuration and click on the Desktop tab to turn on and set the screen
size of the emulated desktop.

Hope it helps.

Andrew

Did you run glxgears ?

You can disable desktop effects; this might make you gain a few fps.

I too am having the same problem.

Ubuntu 10.4
Wine from ubuntu repositories (forget version)
ATI Radeon Mobility 1 GB HD 4670
6 GB RAM

Using Catalyst 10.6 drivers.

While I don't expect the FPS to be the same at all .. I figured it would at least be only a bit of a loss ...

As an unfair comparison .. I usually get about 60 FPS in a city like Stormwind under Windows ... under wine I can barely get 30 .. I expect a 10% loss .. but 50% seems a bit drastic to me.

Odd thing is I have followed all tips about turning off effects, reducing my resolution .. you name it .. still no change.

I've got a nvidia 9600M GS under Arch Linux, Wow is fine.

I play it with my maximum resolution, but with very few effects, it's fine anywhere.

Thanks but not sure what that does to help resolve the issue myself and the other poster are having.[/quote]
