Bug #: 28900 Summary: Jedi Academy Multiplayer Mouse regression in 1.3.x Product: Wine Version: 1.3.31 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: newfie.bugreporting@gmail.com Classification: Unclassified
Tested on two completely different machines with different Linux distros (Ubuntu 11.04 and Fedora 15 x64).
There have been some mouse issues which prevent JKA (only testing multiplayer) from being playable. Starting at around 1.3.14 the mouse has been completely broken- the cursor randomly freezes and darts around the screen every few seconds. This issue has largely been fixed, but there are still lingering issues in 1.3.31.
Compared to the last time I tried WINE beta (1.3.22?) this has improved lots but is still not playable. Instead of the mouse freezing entirely, it just feels "lagged" and sort of chops around the screen every other second. The amount of mouse movement and precision in JA's multiplayer makes playing under these conditions impossible. The problem is most noticeable on menus, where the mouse *does* still freeze and slow down dramatically. Additionally, the mouse movement seems to get worse and worse the longer the game is played.
Nutshell..
Expected experience: The mouse should be perfectly smooth like on Windows.
Actual experience: The mouse stutters, lags, and locks up for brief periods making it impossible to play the game.
I appreciate any sort of feedback or comments on this. There are a growing number of Linux users in the JKA community who would love to see this fixed before 1.4 goes stable Just to clarify, this isn't a "fix me now!" request. Keep up the great work.
