Summary: Mass Effect 2 Demo ignores keyboard input until mouse clicked Product: Wine Version: 1.3.14 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
The demo runs well in general. When you start it, it shows a couple logo movies, then says "Press any key to continue"
In Windows, you can press a key, and it will continue. In Wine, pressing a key does nothing. In either, clicking the mouse will in fact get you past this screen, so this isn't exactly a critical problem.
But I noticed something interesting: if you wait a minute in that screen, an attract movie will show. You can cancel the attract movie by pressing escape in Windows. In Wine, however, pressing escape does nothing... until you click the mouse. After you click the mouse once, escape now works.
So it seems that on Wine, but not Windows, this game ignores the keyboard until there's a mouse click.
