Summary: World of Warcraft Experiencing Severe Buffer Underruns
Product: Wine
Version: CVS
Platform: All
URL: http://www.winehq.org/appview.php?appid=1922
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: P2
Component: wine-directx-dsound
AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
ReportedBy: nbetcher at mchsi.com
Now that everyone has been great in helping out to get WoW (World of Warcraft)
to run under wine graphics-wise, now we face another problem: dsound buffer
underruns. As I understand, this is an ongoing problem that has never been
resolved - and has existed since I've known Wine to use dsound.
Is there any chance we can work together to try to get this bug squashed, or
at least reduce the amount of underruns? Transgaming seems to have done a fine
job of making dsound work perfectly, so I know it's possible. :)
Something weird, also, is that wineoss.drv seems to work better than
winealsa.drv when it comes to the buffer underruns - and my system uses ALSA
natively. The problems I experience (mainly) are volume fluctuations and
skipping. I DO experience the loud "clicking" (that everyone speaks of) when I
use the winealsa.drv WITH or WITHOUT "HardwareAcceleration" = "Emulation".
wineoss.drv doesn't experience any clicking, but it still has the severe
buffer underruns which makes me gringe while playing the game.
This game almost runs perfectly, and we're so close... just at a little bit
more! :)
Thanks, Nick
