High CPU usage of remote in Wine since Build 903 - some affected users but apparently not everyone

Is this problem actively being looked into by Roon? This is the only way I know to control the music from a Linux machine.

I’ve got two desktop computers and one laptop, all running Pop!_OS 22.04. They all have this CPU problem. It’s especially annoying on the laptop because the fan blows all the time.

First I used the roon-on-wine script on the laptop and got the problem. This was using Wine installed from the Pop!_Shop, which is version wine-6.0.3.

Running Roon on Linux using Bottles As an alternative to the roon-on-wine script, you can also run Roon in Bottles. It’s very simple. Here’s how.

Under Preferences, scroll down to the Graphics section and disable DXDVK and VKD3D since these are for Direct 3D and are not required since Roon uses OpenGL, I believe. (It is harmless if you skip t…

With this approach, it uses wine-7.11 but the CPU problem is still there. Then I installed Wine on Bottles on my two desktop computers, and they both have the CPU problem too.

It would be so nice if this were fixed.
