--- Comment #10 from Alex Boag-Munroe boagenator@gmail.com 2008-05-22 22:40:26 --- Ok, I spent some time compiling some different versions and running AO.
Here's the results:
(All version numbers reported assume 0.9.x)
.30 = ok .40 = ok .50 = not ok - Can switch desktop -sometimes- ok, minimise/maximise spam, alt-tab broken .49 = not ok - Can switch desktop -sometimes- ok, minimise/maximise spam, alt-tab broken .45 = not ok - Can switch desktop -sometimes- ok, minimise/maximise spam, alt-tab semi broken .41 = ok .42 = not ok - Can switch desktop -sometimes- ok, minimise/maximise spam, alt-tab semi broken, logging out results in crash.
The desktop switching and alt tabbing, even from as late on as .50 isn't as bad as it is now, currently the game INSISTS on being top, current and foremost, regardless of alt+tab or desktop switch. Versions .42-.50 exhibit similar behaviour, but not as extreme, ie, minimise/maximise actions will occur repeatedly before the window settles down.
The problem certainly begins to occur at 0.9.42 however and is not present in 0.9.41.
I would hasten to add, however, that other improvements/fixes need to stay if this can be fixed, since in the past, Anarchy Online was blighted with random crashes in Wine, especially in Lost Eden AI missions.
This is the only thing keeping me from canning Cedega. Please fix.
