Summary: Overlay cursor not functioning in Ultima IX Product: Wine Version: 1.1.6 Platform: PC URL: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version &iId=14203 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P4 Component: directx-d3d AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: soulmata@gmail.com
In versions 1.18 and 1.19 of the game (earlier versions not tested), on Wine versions 1.1.6 and 1.1.5 (earlier versions not used), the overlay cursor is invisible. This is the cursor that only appears when placed over static objects (I believe gumps) in the game, such as HUD elements (toolbar) and configuration elements (the in-game journal, spellbook, books, et cetera).
The game still is tracking the cursor and accepts input, but as the cursor itself is invisible you cannot tell where exactly you are pressing. As even the Exit button for the game is inside a gump, it makes it more or less unplayable.
I do not know if this falls under d3d or ddraw, since I do not know if ddraw is responsible for the on-screen gumps.
