Lutris/Wine: Odd video pause every four seconds (sopuli.xyz)

How do I even begin to troubleshoot this?

Steam games work fine. Linux-native games work fine. In Wine games, the game video seems to pause for 1.5s, then plays for 2.5s. Audio is unaffected. It seems like the frames are lagged, not lost; when video resumes, the "missing" frames play back very quickly, like the video is "catching up". This happens even in the games' launcher windows before 3D rendering or GPU load occurs. Mouse pointer does not lag or pause.

This happens in both wine-ge 8.26 and WineHQ Staging 9.22.

The weirdest thing is that without changing any settings, the same games will run fine about 1 out of 20 launches.

Thanks for any input.

Did you enable the full logs in the last configuration TAB on Lutris? Aggressive logging in wine can be needed sometimes but can also tank performance

Also, try running the game directly through Wine, without Lutris and see if issue persists

You may be having a disk seek issue. Are you on a spinning disk? If so, sometimes running something a couple of times will have some cached or at least have the heads in the right spot to read the needed data. If that is the issue upgrading to an SSD would probably solve the issue at the root. A possible test would be using a RAM disk if you can be bothered testing it, you have sufficient RAM that it may be viable depending on the game.

That all said, for next steps I would personally consider if maybe an older version of WINE would work. Could you try installing another older version of both the vanilla and GE versions? Also, did you update your nVidia drivers recently? Maybe roll back if your system will work with that, I can do it easily in EndeavourOS but Mint is not something I am recently acquainted with, it may be a real pain or may tank your driver install to try and roll back. Also testing installing a browser in WINE and loading a video that way may help troubleshoot, or VLC through WINE and native to compare. Ultimately you want to try and find the difference between the failed states and the working states, so if you come back bring a log from a working run and a failed run.
