Summary: Halo: Combat Evolved full screen does not get focus in 0.9.42 Product: Wine Version: 0.9.42. Platform: PC-x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: wine-directx AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: weed_richard@hotmail.com
I have halo.exe configured to NOT use the window manager and directx is set to stop mouse from leaving window. I start up Halo and, when it gets to the game menu, the keyboard does not work.
This *did* also happen in 0.9.41, but I found a work-around for 0.9.41: 1. Start up Halo. 2. When first intro movie starts, I hit the space bar. This caused the desktop to reappear with just a small 1"x1" remnant of the game window in the upper left. 3. Them I immediately hit Enter. This caused the game to go full screen again. If I touched no other keys before the game menu appeared, I could use the keyboard normally and play the game.
I have not found a work-around for this yet in 0.9.42. I have to say this game worked excellent for me on my 4800x2 AMD processor and nVidia 7800GTX and would like to see this fixed.
