Quake 4

What works

Credits and Intro videos. Sound. Main menu.

What does not

Mouse cursor suffer of many lags (the mouse cursor can freeze up to 3 seconds, "lag spikes"). This make the main menu and the game unplayable. Note that the game worked fine when I started it just after the installation (I played 3 minutes).

Note: the issue above does not happen with Wine v3.0.3 (tested on Ubuntu 18.10).

Workarounds

Additional Comments

GPU : Intel HD Graphics 4400. CPU Intel I5-3210M.
Installed from DVD, I think that the version is v1.0.x because my Quake4.exe is dated of september 2005 (I don't know where to find it, but I know that patch v1.4.2 accepted to install manually).

The installation settings I did :

export WINEARCH=win32
export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine-quake4
Cancel the installation of Punkbuster. Do not install Direct X 9 when asked by the game.

The tricks I tried (without success) :
winetricks d3dx9
winecfg: change Windows 7 to XP.
winecfg: menu Staging > [ ] Enable CSMT for better graphic performance
patch game (DVD) to v1.42.
winetricks d3dcompiler_43
winetricks glsl=disable
