Summary: Plants vs. Zombies misbehaves when fullscreen Product: Wine Version: 1.1.21 Platform: Other URL: http://www.popcap.com/games/pvz OS/Version: other Status: NEW Keywords: download Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
http://www.mydellmini.com/forum/dell-mini-9-discussion/8077-fun-things-do-yo... mentioned that this game "didn't work as well in linux", so I tried it.
The game installs fine, and starts fine if launched from the installer, but thereafter it seems to misbehave when it puts up the launcher fullscreen.
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7288092 mentions that telling the game to not do fullscreen helps. I couldn't figure out how to do that at the time (it was quite unhappy), but running it in a wine virtual desktop definitely worked for me.
