[Bug 50753] New: Overwatch stops taking input (even walking) when switching to a CJK IME, Battle net takes all the input tho (no fonts needed already included by blizzard))

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50753 Bug ID: 50753 Summary: Overwatch stops taking input (even walking) when switching to a CJK IME, Battle net takes all the input tho (no fonts needed already included by blizzard)) Product: Wine Version: unspecified Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: jatin1812(a)protonmail.com Distribution: --- Created attachment 69538 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=69538 Blizzard app able to take input, Overwatch does not. Even can't walk or move or escape in Overwatch game client. Positives - Blizzard has included all CJK fonts not just for the blizzard battle net client but also for games, like Overwatch has its own CJK fonts. and there is no need to install additional fonts as Overwatch and battle net are able to render all CJK fonts on Linux except some on friend list inside the app. With Overwatch its able to render all CJK fonts as it has its own fonts and works great on Linux for chinese japanese or korean and even other languages as it doesn't need any system font. Blizzard battle net app can get input from Ibus or Fcitx (I tested it with ibus anthy) and also render it using its own CJK fonts which is great as we can see in the first attachment also word suggestions and Kanji conversion in case of japanese is working nicely as you can see on the markings. Negatives / Bugs - Unlike the app login screen or the app's social chat, we can't input any CJK inside the game itself despite its able to render all CJK fonts. As when switching to a CJK keyboard the game client stops taking input at all not even walking running using abilities in game works. Which definitely should not be the case. It not only stops the chat input but also stops from doing any input at all which can be a night mare mid game if I try to quickly switch for using it in my Blizzard app. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

[Bug 49942] New: Games on Battle.net refuse to launch using either wine-5.18 or wine-staging-5.18

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49942 Bug ID: 49942 Summary: Games on Battle.net refuse to launch using either wine-5.18 or wine-staging-5.18 Product: Wine Version: 5.18 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: nvaert1986(a)hotmail.com Distribution: --- After recently upgrading from wine-staging.5-0 to wine-staging-5.18 (tried wine-5.18 too) all of my Battle.net games fail to launch. When pressing the launch button, the games simply do nothing and sit there stating they're running or state they're running for a few seconds and the message is gone. I've tried running Warcraft 3: Reforged from the terminal and all I receive is a failed to initialize ClientSdk.dll. Haven't tried this for other games. I've tried a clean install but it gives the game result. Whenever I revert back to wine-staging-5.0 the games start fine. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50637 Bug ID: 50637 Summary: battle.net 2020-02-04 update graphical glitches (browser acceleration must be disabled) Product: Wine Version: 6.1 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: aerusso(a)aerusso.net Distribution: --- Running 6.1 wine-staging, I loaded battle.net perfectly fine, and then allowed Battle.net to upgrade itself. It re-launched with a completely black window. By right clicking on the tray icon, you can select the settings, and disable "Use browser hardware acceleration". After re-launching, the new (imo ugly---a completely irrelevant, off-topic comment for this bug report) Battle.net UI is visible. It's almost completely functional---but not all re-draws of the window seem to be captured, resulting in a much of the window being completely black. Moving the window or highlighting buttons prompts a re-draw. As a note: originally I didn't think to access the settings menu from the tray. I was still able to start, e.g. Starcraft 2, by running SC2Switcher_x64.exe directly. It plays perfectly fine.

[Bug 25431] New: Wine shouldn't change the gamma value

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25431 Summary: Wine shouldn't change the gamma value Product: Wine Version: 1.3.8 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: incarus6(a)googlemail.com Some games (like Shaya http://shaiya.aeriagames.com/ ) can change the gamma value (I don't know how exactly, but it have the same effect as using the xgamma command in Linux). When you play in windowed mode (or with dual-screen) it is really annoying (and causing eyestrain) when the gamma value is too high. There should be an option to disable the possibility for games and software to change the gamma value. -- 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 33759] New: Some applications reset the X color profile

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33759 Bug #: 33759 Summary: Some applications reset the X color profile Product: Wine Version: 1.5.31 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: liquitsnake(a)gmx.net Classification: Unclassified Some applications tend to reset the X color profile when they start. This profile is set by xcalib and shouldn't be mindlessly messed with. I could not determinate a pattern as to which programs do this. It seems games are especially prone. A simple test case: Get xcalib, and use it to set some random color profile, such as with xcalib -a -gc 5 Get CPU-Z. There is a simple no-installation zip available. Click away the initial error message and then watch as it resets the profile as it loads -- 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.
