Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth Forum

The installation and start this is with no problem.
But the Game is very slowly.

Here the minimum requirements for the game
CPU 800 MHZ
RAM minimum 256
Direct 9 card with 128MB minimum

And here my Computer
Debian Lenny
856 RAM
1,4 MHZ
Geforce 6600GT

A idea what i can make? (not a new PC buy ;))

PS. Sorry for my bad english.

It is possible that the game hits some slow codepath in CrossOver or the Linux driver, e.g. some sort of software fallback. So it is most likely a bug in crossover - even a new computer would not help much.

I just installed the game with Crossover 7.2 and I can report the same thing; the game installs and runs just fine, but it plays very slowly, even on my 2.5 GHz C2D. Not a very graphically intensive game, so it must be a bug in Crossover or Apple's drivers (probably the drivers).

Technically, however, it runs and can be played, albeit with a lot of patience.

Out of curiosity, is it using a lot of CPU as it plays? Is the CPU usage in a wineloader process or in CrossOver Games.app, or both? You might use Activity Monitor to sample the process(es) which is using lots of CPU. That can sometimes shed light on what it's trying to do, and whether it's spending time in X11 or the graphics drivers, etc.

Just tested with CX Games 8 and Snow Leopard, and the game runs almost perfectly. So far just a minor graphical glitch to report; sometimes small patches of rain appear inside the house on the first level. Other than that, no issues.
