Summary: Deus Ex Cannot Enter Fullscreen with AMD64 Wine Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: PC-x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-directx-d3d AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: me100313@gmail.com
I have seen this bug with Wine versions 0.9.39 AMD64 and 0.9.37 AMD64. My desktop resolution is 1280x1024. I play Deus Ex at 1024x768 due to HUD scaling issues with the game (game problem, not Wine issue). The game lets me select a Direct3D renderer.
Deus Ex does not enter fullscreen with the AMD64 Wine packages running, but is rendered in a window instead. Telling the game to enter fullscreen mode through its Options menu seems to make Wine expand that window to fit my desktop for a fraction of a second, but then reverts back to that same 1024x768 window it was running in before. Also, Deus Ex will only let me select resolutions of 800x600 and 640x480 in its options menu. If I select one of those resolutions and click the menu's OK button, the window will resize itself down to fit. But if I then hit the Toggle Fullscreen button, the window will resize back to 1024x768, but keep the same ingame resolution (but is fit to the window). It's as if Wine thinks that it is in fullscreen mode when it really is not.
The i386 packages for Wine 0.9.36 and 0.9.39 work perfectly with Deus Ex. They put it into fullscreen and I can select all the resolutions my system supports (up to 1280x1024).
