Bug ID: 48401
Summary: GTA IV - Framerate drop after 5 minutes of gameplay
Product: Wine
Version: 4.0.3
Hardware: x86
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: -unknown
Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
Reporter: dmayr.dev at gmail.com
Distribution: ---
Hardware: Lenovo ThinkPad T410s, 1st-gen i5, NVidia NVS3100M with driver
340.107
OS: Ubuntu 18.04 / elementaryOS 5.0
When playing GTA IV under Wine, framerate is quite nicely playable: 30+fps in
wine 4.0.3, Windows 10 mode (so far, best experience).
However, framerate begins to drop abruptly after about 5 minutes of gameplay,
in the 5-10fps range, sometimes to 1-2fps. CPU+GPU begin to heat up in the high
range (90°C).
This doesn't happen as badly in other DirectX 9 games.
I've added a registry DWORD key to disable CSMT (when enabled, the described
problem begins at gameplay start, not a second later), and limited video memory
to 384Mb.
It is known, however, that GTA IV is a badly optimized game that has caused
trouble in Windows before, so I'm aware that YMMV.
Let me know how else I can help pinpointing the problem cause.
