Hello, wine has some issues when games are using big files, for example Guild Wars - It's storing it's game data in one big file: wdp at anni /games/Guild Wars $ du -h Gw.dat 3.6G Gw.dat That results in very very slow i/o. It's not a file system issue (i tried to higher read-ahead with hdparm, i changed from ext3 to xfs and other games are running really fast on my box) thats why i think the problem is wine related. My questions: - Any other users having problems with such big files (any other games arround there storing data in one big file, resulting in slow i/o?) - Any ideas how that could be fixed? - Are there any unofficial patches to fix this issue? ty Cheers Jean

Maybe it is just slow I/O and not size-related, maybe something else, etc.> - Any ideas how that could be fixed?Fix yourself (use profiling to find the cause of slowness) or report a bug at http://bugs.winehq.org if you cannot. Reporting a bug is recommended approach for most users. Before reporting a bug make sure to check behavior of the game in Windows. If in Windows behavior is the same - this isn't bug in WINE but bug in the game. Thank you for using WINE.
Is CPU useage high during slow IO? If so simply use oprofile to find the slow piece of code. lg Clemens
