Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic (GOG version)

[Dagslys]

So I've managed to get the game to get the the menu screen with the cursor showing, but I can't click anything, just move it around.

Anybody know what to do?

• Running Ubuntu latest version.
• I've set it to run in a window.
• Nothing seems to lag, just can't interact.

it would seem that clicking is delayed, and the actual location of the menu options are not where they are being displayed graphically.

did you try a virtual desktop?

All i've done is installed, and configured it with wine, basically opening the setup.exe, making adjustments, and than seeing if the game runs. I'm kind of new to wine, what's this with a virtual dekstop?

Think I've tried now. Still didn't solve the problem.

you can enable a virtual desktop in winecfg. It sometimes works better with problems like that. I do not know anything specifically about that game, so you might make sure you look up info in the AppDB.

A person who rated it as platinum said to select Color Cursor int he setup... and make sure Direct3D isn't selected...

thanks for the reply, I've done what it suggests, it only get's me to the main menu, and then I can't click anything.

for some reason, the game works on my notebook (acer aspire one) but not on my regular laptop, oh well.

Different window managers? If you have desktop effects enabled on the laptop, try turning them off. Also experiment with various combinations of allowing/not allowing the window manager to control/decorate the windows.
