           Summary: World of Warcraft: Extreme FPS drop since 3.0.2
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.7
          Platform: PC-x86-64
               URL: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: adys.wh+winehqdotorg at gmail.com


At first it felt like a normal evolution of the game's hardware requirements,
but due to a LOT of recent feedback from WoW players under wine, it seems like
something doesn't work on Wine's side.

Since the expansion patch Echoes of Doom, World of Warcraft lost at least 30
fps in crowded areas (shows a lot in battlegrounds and raids), and over 15 fps
in completely empty areas. The new shadow engine is disabled. Turning all
details and other effects off has very little effect on the game.
The new (bug 14975) screenfog effect (ffxSpecial) is disabled. Existing
configuration hasn't been changed.

Enabling or disabling GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object shows no obvious difference
(feels slightly faster when disabling).

No relevant output is given in the terminal. Downgrading to wine 1.0, 1.1 or
1.1.3 (all three worked quite fine before) doesn't make any difference.
