Compressing some games into gameimages decreases preformance

Open Blackfox-Thane opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

For some strange reason when i test the game before creating a gameimage works line, but when creating it halves the performance and frame-rate for certain games. I found two wine only games (Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines and Brigand: Oaxaca) and i don't know why it's doing this. I have recorded clips of the issue, but it's over 10MB.

Hi @Blackfox-Thane , thanks for reporting this issue! Compression does affect read/write speeds, which could affect games that rely heavily on it. Have you tried with compression level 0 to check if that fixes the issue?

@ruanformigoni just tried it, even at compression level 0 there's still performance issues

I can confirm that. Before packing NFS Most Wanted Redux, the game ran above 60 FPS. After creating the image, the game runs with performance below 30 fps, even using compression level 0
