           Summary: Team Fortress 2 freezes while playing.
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.1
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

Introduction:

I have read bugs 7698, 12327 and 15162 with all comments and I'm sure this is
not the same issue. Please let me know if there is more information I can
provide.


Short Description:

After a few minutes of playing, process hl2.exe starts using 100% of a CPU and
the game freezes with no sound stuttering. if I have the mouse pointer (Like
when I'm selecting a character) I can move the mouse but nothing responds. If a
SIGTERM(15) is sent to hl2.exe the game finished and the X are successfully
restored. That allow me to repeat this issue over and over again trying to find
a pattern for deducing the root of the problem.

Testbeds:

For a best analysis of this issue, I have configured the following testbed
based on 2 machines, one with the game and another one just connected to the
same LAN.

1) Machine and software where the game is running:

    CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @2.40GHz
    Memory: 4GB Ram

    OS: GNU/Linux
    Distribution: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
    Kernel: 2.6.32-24-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Thu Aug 19 01:38:40 UTC 2010
x86_64

    $ lspci | grep VGA
    01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV630 [Radeon HD
2600 Series]

    $ fglrxinfo
    OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
    OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro
    OpenGL version string: 3.2.9756 Compatibility Profile Context

    $ wine --version
    wine-1.3.1

    Testbed additional information:
    Wine has no configuration but default.
    Game parameters: -heapsize 1024000 -dxlevel 81 -width 1680 -height 1050
    Compiz were disabled.


2) A second machine where I start a ssh session in order to monitoring process
when the game freezes.

Testing performed:

Testing steps:
1) I started steam, then I went to game library and I selected TF2. I have
pressed "Play" button and wait.
The game was successful loaded, I find a "Two Forts" available game and I
Joined in.
After 8 minutes and 32 seconds playing, when I was getting back to the starting
point room (to be cured at the medicine kit), exactly when the door were
opening the game got freeze. There was no sound stutter, just like a picture
the game got freeze.
I got connected from the second machine (via ssh) and I saw hl2.exe process
using the 100% of one CPU. Just by sending a SIGTERM to hl2.exe process it
finished. That brings me down to Steam menu again.

2) I have pressed "Play" again.
I was looking for a "Two Forts" available game for 30 seconds approximately.
The game was loaded successful, and when I was looking for a character the game
got freeze again. Just when I pointed the Engineer. I was able to move the
mouse but nothing responses.
