[Bug 44740] New: "A Hat in Time" any x360 joystick' s sticks seems to be stuck in upper right corner.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44740 Bug ID: 44740 Summary: "A Hat in Time" any x360 joystick's sticks seems to be stuck in upper right corner. Product: Wine Version: 3.3 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: xinput Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: spam(a)hjkos.com Distribution: --- Game: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=36033 Game recognizes joystick correctly, buttons work as expected, however game sees analog stick as if it's stuck in some corner, making character run in circles. Jiggling the joystick makes it slightly change direction, but game is still unplayable this way. Joystick appears to be working correctly - it works fine in Linux games, and joystick control panel also shows correct positions. I tried two joysticks: Logitech F710 (XInput mode) Steam Controller (sc-controller x360 joystick emulation) both yield same result. dumbxinputemu makes game see two controllers, one real and one emulated by dumbxinputemu, and seems this time around emulated one works normally, but the real one keeps overriding it, so character just changes directions frequently and in with drastic direction changes. Also, Logitech F710 has DirectInput mode, which has working sticks, however it has weird bindings and i am unable to rebind it in-game. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

I have to kill the process to close it. This did not happen prior to the most recent game update. I also tried adding a launch argument to disable the intro video in case playing it was the issue.

[Bug 45311] New: Skyrim Special Edition: ambient sounds do not attenuate with distance

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45311 Bug ID: 45311 Summary: Skyrim Special Edition: ambient sounds do not attenuate with distance Product: Wine Version: 3.9 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: xaudio2 Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: forestcode(a)ixio.org Distribution: --- In Skyrim SE, ambient sounds are supposed to attenuate based on the camera's distance from the source, so that distant sounds will be barely perceptible, nearby sounds will be loud and clear, and moving closer or farther from the source will gradually change the sound's volume accordingly. When running on wine with builtin xaudio, distance attenuation does not work; any time the camera enters a certain (fairly distant) radius from a sound source, that sound will suddenly start playing at full volume, as if the source was in the player's ear. This results in disturbing situations like startlingly loud footsteps and voices produced by distant NPCs, or a sudden roar of water rushing the moment the player crosses an invisible threshold in the vicinity of a river. When running with Microsoft's native 64-bit xaudio libs, distance attenuation works properly. Note: While winetricks xact is probably the easiest way to install the native xaudio libs for testing purposes, recent versions of winetricks do not install the 64-bit versions. (See wine bug 41618#c5.) Reverting this commit is therefore necessary in order to get the libs needed for Skyrim SE's 64-bit executable: https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/commit/f2b3d268d941120d13b4c3c3960… I have identified a few locations in the early part of game where this bug is prominent: 1. A point on the road from Helgen to Riverwood where the rumbling of a nearby river cuts in suddenly as the player approaches it. 2. A point on the same road, closer to the river, where the whooshing of rushing water cuts in suddenly as the player approaches. 3. A point in Riverwood where the creaking of the wooden water wheel cuts in at full volume as the player approaches. When standing at any of these points, one can hear the ambient sounds cut in and out either by walking closer/farther from the sound source, or by zooming out to third-person view and rotating the camera around the player, such that the camera enters/exits the sound's radius. I will attach screen shots showing these locations. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29985 Bug #: 29985 Summary: Joystick (DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick) incorrect setting in analog. Product: Wine Version: 1.4-rc4 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: directx-dinput AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: fael_mc(a)msn.com Classification: Unclassified Created attachment 39035 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=39035 Pictures to explain better Greetings I have a very good experience with games in wine, but there is a bug with my joystick, which disturbs some games. I have a PS2 joystick style (DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick) very popular here in where I live, work and usually no problem with native linux games. In wine, almost everything works normally, it recognizes, and works in all games. But there is a problem with the axes of the analog. In Games, I set up the axes of analog, such as "Pro Evolution Soccer 5" everything is right. But some games you can not configure the axes - Example "GTA San Andreas." The problem is with the analog number 2 in the GTA is the camera, only works up and down, left and right does not work, the function of the left and right analog camera is in paragraph 1, which is normal, but beyond move to "CJ" also moves the camera to the left and right. "San Andreas" is just one example, this same problem hap wine in all games that use analog 2. To explain the problem better, I am attaching a zip file with two photos The first is a photo of the joystick, and a second drawing I made to explain the problem better. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19816 Summary: Enhancement request: MSVBVM60 Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: bammzilla(a)astronomy.com.ph I would like to request that Wine have its own built-in version of MSVBVM60. I don't know how difficult it would be, but since WinXP has it by default I would love Wine to have it as well. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 31786] New: Run the tests on real hardware

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31786 Bug #: 31786 Summary: Run the tests on real hardware Product: Wine-Testbot Version: unspecified Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: fgouget(a)codeweavers.com Classification: Unclassified It would be very useful to run some tests on real hardware. * This is the case for all the 3D graphics tests. For these we would even want to run them on both AMD and NVidia graphics cards(*). Currently they are essentially ignored by WineTestBot because the virtual graphic cards don't provide meaningful 3D support. * It could somewhat be useful for sound tests too, mostly to avoid timing issues, but also to ensure the results we get are not tainted by bugs in the emulated sound card. Also emulated sound cards typically don't support MIDI emulation. The problem is that it's very important to limit the test duration and to restore the test environment to a clean state after each test, no matter what happens, for two reasons: * Because it's not uncommon for tests to have side effects and for them to leave the test environment in an unusable state. Granted it happens much more often with older Windows releases as they are more prone to crashes. However graphics drivers also tend to be buggy and we would not want the tests to be tainted by a previous run (though a reboot should take care of most issues). * But also the Wine TestBot runs anything that gets posted by anonymous users on wine-patches. That's ok as long as such code is properly confined and not allowed to run for too long. That supposes thoroughly cleaning up the environment after a test has run, including anything that could happen at boot time. Virtual machines provide a simple solution to both of these issues which is why the TestBot relies on them heavily. With QEmu it's possible to let the guest OS access some peripherals directly via the 'passthrough' mode. This is normally done for network cards. If it worked for graphics cards that would be a great solution but it's not clear that it's feasible. Another option would be to play tricks with Grub scripts: have it boot from a clean Linux partition (or from the network?), restore the Windows partition from a clean disk image, reboot into that partition, and back on the clean partition with the next reboot. That still leaves the issue of forcing a reboot in case of a freeze or malware taking control of Windows (use a remote controlled power switch like in data centers?). (*) We currently have two such machines ready for this: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2012-February/094080.html -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
