Rainbow six Raven shield

[lefevre]

Hello,

I just install Rainbow Six Raven shield on my ubuntu distro (it is a regularely updated 8.04 LTS) using Wine 1.1.42.
Installation was done without major problem but when I launch it, I only can see the presentation movie. All keyborad keys doesn't work but when the menu finaly appear (at the end of the movie) I can then move the mouse cursor but in a restricted area. Not in the whole screen surface so some hot links are not activable.
I read this game works with wine and I found a referenced bug which seems to describe at least one part of the issue (#6971)
I only find some Ubi soft patches but they are for UK/US or CA, not for french.
If this is a wine bug, I didn't found any workaround or patch.

Someone could tell me if I'm wrong or what to do

Thx in advance for your help

First try to upgrade Wine. There were few bugs fixed related to input problems in last few Wine versions.

If things still don't work - try using virtual desktop mode.

Ok, thanks for your reply

I will upgrade my wine version as soon as possible but, before all, I would like to upgrade my distro itself to the latest LTS version. (otherwise I'll get latest wine sources and compile it)

Finally, I've found somewhere on the net, a workaround which fix the restricted mouse area (wine bug #6971). I didn't have time to really test it till now but I played with some minutes and it seems good.
As it might be usefull for others, here it is :
launch the regedit32 within wine and in

Code: Select all

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/wine

[/b]
add the string key

MouseWarpOverride

with the value

force

An other workaround (not tested) is :

Code: Select all

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Red\ Storm\ Entertainment/RavenShield/System
WINEFORCEMOUSEWARP=yes WINEDEBUG="-all" wine RavenShield.exe

[/b]

As i had to reinstall it I just find there is a mistake in my previous explanation. Read this instead :
launch the regedit32 within wine and in

Code: Select all

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/wine

add the key

Code: Select all

DirectInput

add the string :

Code: Select all

MouseWarpOverride

with value:

force

In ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Red Storm Entertainment/RavenShield/system/RavenShield.ini, I modified the keys :

Code: Select all

CaptureMouse=False
StartupFullscreen=False

So it works with wine 1.2.2 under ubuntu 10.04 distro
