Summary: Keyboard does not work on some AGS games Product: Wine Version: 0.9.40. Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-directx-dinput AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: jkohen@users.sourceforge.net
Now that mouse input works correctly for AGS games, I have noticed that the second item in bug #2811 is still valid. Those games that use the standard AGS load/save dialog "break" when opening said dialog. The game won't respond to Escape, keyboard input or anything, and the mouse cursor disappears. The only workaround I found is to quit the game and don't use the savegames (not a real solution for longer games, or games where you can die in-game).
However, I was able to use the load/save dialog in at least one AGS game, The Infinity String. I don't know how the implementation details differ from one to the other, though (the AGS version doesn't seem to make a difference).
