Wine 1.4 Mouse problems, STILL.

Post by ruinairas »

I'm hopping among various computers, that have AMD, Nvidia, Intel graphic cards. High end and low end. I still have the same issue among all of them. In games such as:

Halo
Prey
Scarface
Almost any shooter...

The mouse is out of control, you can't get anything done. This is a new "Regression" because this never happend with older versions of Wine. I also have an issue with games NEVER going into fullscreen properly (This isn't a problem with wine, rather it's because of Unity >.>) This has been a problem for a few releases now, I'm shocked it hasn't been fixed due to the severity of it :)

You mean no axis detection & only buttons works?

Or it moves uncontrollable?

To see the problem I'm having take a look at the Halo demo (It's only 128mb or so) and try to play the game. The axis or something is completely off. The mouse moves, but it's weird, I turn to the left it moves down sometimes, other times it moves to the right or up. Almost like trying to play looking thru a mirror, but worse :P

And how they worked in earlier Wine versions? If Ok, then maybe you'd better to install some of the previous versions near at the current one?

Yup, they work in the previous versions of wine. I use the older ones when I actually play the game. I'm just hoping that they fix the issue soon. :)

For example, I have 1.2.34 (in special folder, where Wine have own bin/libs/share), and 1.4-rc6 recently installed as current.

1.2.34 I'm using for the game named "Rochard" (cause this is Wine compiled with mouse patch). In 1.4 it cannot recognize mouse axises, regkey= "mouse warp override" doesn't help, but it works with patched Wine.

What version of xserver? Your description sounds like this bug: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30057

So as of Ubuntu 12.04 the wine xserver is broken with any wine later than 1.4 RC1 it appears. I certainly hope this is fixed with Ubuntu by 12.04..this could be bad.
