Solved Apple+Tab bug in MTG: Arena but new question

Post by jackal242 »

So i solved the MTG: Arena Apple+Tab bug which caused the game to freeze.

What you do is inside the game switch OUT of full screen mode and you get a windowed version of the game.

Then when you Apple+Tab out to another application and want to come back, just CLICK on the title bar of Arena and it pulls focus back into the game and you can keep playing.

So here's my question to the group: Why does this fix it? Why does clicking on the Title bar reactivate the game? And can this be done via a key binding? If so i could go back to fullscreen mode and activate the key binding to make the window active.

I have this installed and I don’t get a freeze when using CMD+Tab.

It’s possible it’s a problem with the wine version your currently using to run the game.

This could be due to using Wineskin-2.6.2 along with Wine-3.0

I'm new to using Wineskin. I've always used Crossover Games in the past.

How do I test the version of Wineskin I'm using versus the version of wine that's running?

I just download the Wineskin from the reddit post and used it per the video's instructions.

Is there no easy way to check the versions?

$ ps -aef|grep wine
505 79023 1 0 6:06AM ?? 0:00.00 /bin/bash /Applications/MTGArena.app/Contents/Frameworks/wswine.bundle/bin/wine MTGA.exe

Did you read my last post?

I know exactly what wine version it includes and what version of Wineskin it’s also using.


The point was you shouldn’t be using a pre-made solution but do it yourself, Official Wineskin development may have stopped but “Unoffical Wineskin” can take it’s place and give your access to all current Winehq releases.

I posted to that thread months ago trying to have it updated to use the active project but I was ignored.
