Chessmaster 10th

Post by The_Pikos »

Hi!

I'm a Chess addict so i tried to install Chessmaster 10th on my Kubuntu!

It works quite good but i still have a problem... The mouse is not where it is...

For example to move my tower, I've to put my mouse lower, if i put it on the tower, the game show me it's one or two case higher...

Do you know how can I fix it?

Thanks!

We're up to wine-0.9.58 now, could you try a more recent version?

I had very similar problems with Ceasar III a long time ago. It had
some boxes you had to click to choose what sort of game you wanted to
play. I had to put the mouse to the right and lower than the box to
get it to work.

That was quite awhile ago but I *think* I eventually determined that
it was a combination of three things:

a) The game's resolution when it started was fixed to some value,
probably 800x600

b) I didn't have an 800x600 resolution set up on my machine

c) I was running Caesar III in a window. The screen was 1024x768 and
the windowed game was 800x600 inside of that.

In this situation the position I had to place my mouse was a multiple
of my X screen resolution vs. where Wine/Caesar III thought it should
be. Unfortunately sometimes that location was outside the window and
it didn't work because X grabbed the mouse click and didn't give it to
Wine at all.

IIRC I eventually set up my system so it could handle 800x600 and set
wine to play Caesar full screen in 800x600. After that I was able to
place the mouse where the screen thought it should be and things
worked OK.

Again, this was a LONG time ago!

Hope this helps,
Mark
