The game runs very well, the only problem is that after finishing the game the fans keep running really high (sometimes slower, sometimes faster, but always way to fast even if the CPU is completely on idle). I was trying to kill the Wine processes with `killall Agent.exe Battle.net.exe wineserver`, but it does not help. I have to restart the PC so that the fans go back to normal and it happens like this every time.
I have tried reinstalling the game and installing some software to control the fans called `fancontrol`, but it does not work as my motherboard seems not to support it. I only get information, that there are no fans detected.
Could you please give me a hint what should I look for to fix this? Currently I need to keep rebooting to Windows, because, well I need to do the reboot after playing anyway...
Is any process really spinning the CPU though? You wrote that the fans are still on even when the CPU is completely idle?
pids=$(
ls -l /proc/*/exe 2>/dev/null |
grep -E 'wine(64)?-preloader|wineserver|winedevice.exe' |
perl -pe 's;^.*/proc/(\d+)/exe.*$;$1;g;'
)
if ((${#pids})); then
echo $pids
kill $pids
sleep 1
pids=$(
ls -l /proc/*/exe 2>/dev/null |
grep -E 'wine(64)?-preloader|wineserver|winedevice.exe' |
perl -pe 's;^.*/proc/(\d+)/exe.*$;$1;g;'
)
if ((${#pids})); then
kill -9 $pids
fi

Yes, exactly. There is no CPU usage and fans are still spinning. So seems that some settings are being changed and by killing all the wine processes I wanted to reset it.
Thank you @Xpander, I will try it out after the weekend as soon as I have the access to laptop again.
I'm also curious about Lutris, I don't use it myself. Possibly it could be changing the CPU governor to a performance mode when the game is running and fails to set it back if the game doesn't exit cleanly?
