--- Comment #3 from Cesko Voeten cvoeten@gmail.com 2011-08-30 10:45:24 CDT --- Thanks! You're right - using native dinput.dll combined with that patch solves the problem. (The game doesn't use the mouse so the mouse is irrelevant, btw.)
Should I keep this bug open, as, even though the game works now, it appears that there still is a deficiency in wine's dinput implementation (we do need MS dinput.dll, after all)?
