Games close down when I press any key

Post by Solitudewaffle »

SO I just installed WIne, everything works great, apart from the fact that when I press any key the game I'm running just seizes up and crashes. Anyone know what to do?
Keep in mind im new to linux operating systems and wine so keep and answers simple please, thanks:)

Are these all Steam games? If so, it's http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35361. The workaround is to disable the in-game overlay.

If this is happening with non-Steam games, you need to provide more information, including what Wine version you're using (if it's not the latest development release, upgrade), exactly what game(s) you're trying to run, what (if any) native dlls or other tweaks you've applied, and terminal output.
