Summary: Erratic mouse movement renders Aliens vs. Predator 2 unplayable Product: Wine Version: 0.9.51. Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-directx-dinput AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: hein@kde.org
"Aliens vs. Predator 2" is a first person shooter developed by Monolith Productions using the LithTech Talon game engine. While the game runs and looks fine, erratic mouse movement renders it unplayable: When the mouse is moved at normal speeds to change the view angle, it seems to immediately move back or recenter itself, making it impossible to look around in a controlled fashion. Only when the mouse is moved very, very slowly it is possible to turn around without that "back-snapping" effect. As soon as the speed surpasses a certain (low) threshold, mouse movement stops being usable.
The tested version of the game is the latest patch level, v1.0.9.6.
The version of Wine tested is v0.9.50. The Wine configuration is fairly untouched. The Windows version is set to Windows XP. Pixel and vertex shader support is enabled, and the offscreen rendering mode is set to fbo. The sound driver is ALSA. No DLL overrides were added.
Testing was undertaken using nVidia's proprietary graphics driver in version 160.04 on a GeForce 8800 GTX, with X.org v7.3 (xorg-server v1.4.0.90) and Linux v2.6.23.10. The mouse is a Logitech MX1000 using the xf86-input-evdev driver in version 1.1.5. The distribution is Gentoo Linux.
