Bug #: 29603
Summary: Ski Challenge 2010: extremely long loading times
(unless Win98 mode is set)
Product: Wine
Version: 1.3.37
Platform: x86
URL: http://www.jeuxvideopc.com/demo/43133-ski-challenge-20
10.php
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Keywords: download
Severity: minor
Priority: P2
Component: -unknown
AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org

Classification: Unclassified
Starting a new game in Ski Challenge 2010 demo takes an unusually long time:
5-7 minutes.
Lowering the screen resolution/detail level, disabling audio don't make a
difference.
Besides the default Windows XP mode, I tried with Win2000, Vista as well as
Windows 7 mode: all the same.
What does seem to improve the loading time considerably is to set the Windows
version to Win98 in winecfg: loading a new game takes only 15-30 seconds
(depending on the detail level).
Steps to reproduce the problem with the demo:
1. Install the demo. Select 'Use custom installation' option and uncheck the
option 'Run Ski Challenge 2010 (FTV)'.
2. Start the demo by Updater.exe. The updater will fail, dismiss the error
message. The launcher should appear.
3. In the launcher go to <Options> --> <Manual> then click on <Accept>. Click
on <Play>.
4. When the main menu appears click on <Play> --> <Training>, select a course
and click on <Play>.
5. The game is loading but it seems to take forever to get into the game.
Terminal output doesn't reveal anything suspicious, just lots of
