Games are lagging (wine)

Hi ppl,

Last week I was playing EmpireEarth II via wine without any problems but now it's lagging all the time! I can't even move the mouse in the game! The first few minutes are ok but after some short random time the lagging begins (usually after 2-3 mins).
I have another Windows-Game installed: Spore. I wanted to try that one but it also lags. Every two seconds the mouse moves xD
These games worked just fine last week.

The CPU usage ist usual, below 10% when the games are running!

What's happening? Is my CPU dying? Or is it just a misconfigured wine?
If you need anything about my sys, just ask

Re: Games are lagging (wine)

well i just updated from wine 1.1.24 to 1.1.25 yesterday ( the mirror i was using hasn't been updated in a few days ). could that be the source of your problem? i know different wine versions are compatible with some games while others are not.

I tried 1.1.24 just before your post But it didn't help. I also tried the old xorg-server but nothing worked
