Summary: Keyboard input not working with game "X-COM II: Terror From The Deep" Product: Wine Version: 20030115 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-directx AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.com ReportedBy: godeater@cream.org
I installed and attempted to get this game to run yesterday. The first screen displayed is a language choice screen - and the option has to be picked with the mouse. Once this has been done, there are two "cut scenes" which can by bypassed by either clicking the mouse, or pressing a key on the keyboard - again both of these work. Next is the skill level selection screen, again a mouse only choice, and the you get to "Position your first based" which requires a click somewhere with the mouse on the picture of the globe. As soon as you do this, you are presented with a a text input field asking for the name of the base. At this point the keyboard stops working. If wine has been launched from a terminal window, you can see the input being echoed in it. I tried this using various combinations of "Managed" set to "Y" or "N", and with a discrete "Desktop" as well - none of these settings makes any difference to the way the input is handled. Setting DXGrab to "Y" merely mean getting the mouse back again after you give up with the game is harder :) - it also has no effect on keyboard input.
I will also attempt this with a newer build of wine - and will update this log with the results :)
