Bug #: 34389 Summary: Crysis (Warhead,Wars): relative mouse movement restricted Product: Wine Version: 1.7.0 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: liquitsnake@gmx.net Classification: Unclassified
This is with Wine-1.7 and recent X (1.13). Bug 6971 may be closed, but this still presents an issue for games of the Crysis series.
At the very least, Crysis, Crysis Warhead and Crysis Wars (and any mods) are affected, Crysis 2 likely too.
In fullscreen, the player cannot do full 360° turns, because the mouse hits invisible boundaries. If the left mouse button is clicked, the game will correctly handle the mouse. However, as soon as any menu (main menu, map, buy menu, suit functions, etc.) is opened and closed, the old behavior returns, restricting how far the player can turn. For gameplay, this is devastating.
There are reports that this bug was fixed by "Allow DirectX apps to stop the mouse pointer leaving the window", but that option is not presented anymore in winecfg.
