Bug #: 32822 Summary: Populous 3: moving mouse cursor to edge of screen causes the game itself to move off-screen Product: Wine Version: 1.5.22 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dannydubyav2.0@gmail.com Classification: Unclassified
When the game Populous: the Beginning is started, either part of or all of the screen is black (sometimes showing other applications that were open before playing against a black background) and you need to move the mouse cursor to the top-left corner of the screen to completely center the game onto it, but you may still be able to scroll back out of it. This can continue to happen in both the level selector and the start of playing levels, and seems to happen the most in the hardware-accelerated version of Populous. If it occurs when playing a level, escaping to the in-game menu and then resuming gameplay will definitely stop it, but only for the duration of that level.

The hardware-accelerated version unfortunately has to be directly launched from its Program Files path of Bullfrog/Populous/D3DPopTB.exe because the game's menu launcher always incorrectly disables "Direct3D Hardware" as a choice.
