Transformers:WFC Mouse Input stuck in a fixed range of view/Arch Linux.

[LinuxLover471]

Hi, I have had a few issues with wine while playing Transformers: War for Cybertron. The cutscenes did not have any sound, but that was fixed in wine 10.5! Thanks.

But I also had another issue, the issue was with the mouse input, the camera input specifically. When I try to move the camera it is stuck to a certain limit, the buttons work good.

In v10.4, the issue had a workaround, in which you would need to transfer xinput1_3.dll to the system32 and syswow64 with the respective versions of the file at the correct locations ( I do know that system32 has 64 bit files and vice-versa). The file now wants an overwrite for this, whereas it did not need any beforehand. I got to know about the xinput1_3.dll issue when I tried to run the game in windows 10, it asked for the dll and also asked for a d3d dll, I don't remember exactly which, but it was related to d3d.

I also tried removing the prefix and creating a new one. But there was no fix.

I am using the wine development version 10.5, downloaded from the official pacman repository. I also have Wine-mono. I am also using DXVK-Sarek-async-10.8 if that helps. I had installed PhysX support from Nvidia's website.

Here is the link to my post in the arch linux forums.

Also I have installed sdl2-compact (I think that was what it is called) and sdl3 and their lib32 versions.

I recently installed TFOC, and it also has the same issue, I also got to know that these games don't utilize Xinput but something else, some sort of raw input? The other games I used, like Doom3 worked flawlessly. Sorry for not editing the post, I cannot before I hit the 3 posts mark to be able to post and edit freely.

The issue is fixed, turns out I was using the wrong version for this task, I was using development version and the wine-staging version fixed the issue.
