Bug #: 28512 Summary: FPS games don't recognize mouse buttons and keyboard keys ingame Product: Wine Version: 1.3.29 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: ajsb@vfemail.net Classification: Unclassified
I check this issue both in UBUNTU and SLACKWARE using several versions of WINE (1.3.28 besides 1.3.29) using packaged WINE and also compiled source by myself. Problems are always the same no matter what including with or without winetricks use.
1 - There are several FPS games like Battlefield 2 , Call of Duty Black Ops,etc. where the left and right mouse buttons are not properly recognized when playing... Heres some examples... Black Ops: Mouse recognized in bindings menu but in game , the recognition of left/right button is erratic and kinda of "stutters"...i.e. i use right button to run and i press it, for a fraction of second, i run but then, it behaves as i no longer am pressing it. Left button, used by me for A.D.S. , almost same thing, i pressed it and weapon stays in A.D.S. position for some fraction of time but then goes back to low position...sometimes it seems to want to go back to A.D.S. for a a fraction of second but it fais...If i stop press button and press again, the cycle restarts. Battlefield 2: Left/Right mouse buttons are not even recognized in bindings menu !!!...and even in navigation by menus they feel a bit "stiff".
2-Same games have issues with keyboard...the keys are simply NOT recognized at ALL in ANY circumstances (in game, menus, you name it) except ESC key and only when we press it for the 1st time !!!
Only managed to play these games with a mouse + gamepad using a gamepad to keys emulator, more exactly JoyToKey...that is a Windows program that has no problem at all recognizing my gamepad and keyboard !!!
Infact, i have NO problems at all with other types of programs or games like RTS games like:
Men Of War Faces of War World in Conflict etc.
These issues are only affecting FPS games !
This is very strange because i had no problem to play these games in the past with older versions of WINE.
