Limited mouse movement (rotation)

Post by borsti »

Hi all,

I am on Solus Budgie 4, using wine 2.18

When I play GTA Vice City, the character rotation is limited to approx. 440 degrees. It seems that there are invisible borders that prevent the mouse from going further.
Is there anything I can do about it? The game is unplayable in this state.
A already tried any combination of full screen / virtual desktop etc.

Thank you!

Greetings

@borsti

Typically your rotation is actually limited to a 360 degree arc.

To avoid this happening try to enable the Mouse Warping registry override:

Code: Select all

wine reg.exe ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DirectInput" "/v" "MouseWarpOverride" "/t" "REG_SZ" "/d" "force"

Hello Bob,

Thank you! This (in combination with the option "let window manager decorate" and "emulate virtual desktop") fixed my problem!

np... That very same issue just happens to also affect Bioshock 1.0 - which I maintain on WineHQ AppDB.
