           Summary: Anarchy Online is very slow in certain areas (< 3fps or
                    0)
           Product: Wine
           Version: CVS/GIT
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: krause.marcel at gmx.net


It's something that's bugging me for a good while, and is also being mentioned
in the AppDB article for the game. As I said there it can be "worked around" by
using the commercial cedega software, which has other minor problems too, but
nothing compared to the slowness under wine.

1. download the free client using bittorrent:
http://torrent.funcom.com/torrents/AnarchyOnline_17.6.1_EP0.exe.torrent
2. register a free account: http://register.funcom.com/
3. Start the game, talk to the neutral recruiter at the island and take the
Wompah (teleporter) to Borealis, which will leave you in complete graphical
laggyness.

You can also notice the laggyness at the Unicorn Outpost (needs paid expansion
content), playershops in the guild cities (paid content too), and a few more
places. All of these places are frequently used by the players and visiting
them is a major pain of course, but as they're the central places in game, you
can't really get around on the long run.

It's not my system causing the lag though, as it works fine with the cedega
software.

Specs are:
Athlon X2 5000+
2Gb Ram
GeForce 8600GT at 256MB
400GB WD harddisk
16MBit/s internet connection

Marcel Krause
