--- Comment #40 from wine_bugzilla@sctb.ch --- Morning, Gents.
I am on Debian with XFCE and last night I updated and upgraded, and then as with others here, I found Wine apps now running at the wrong resolution (and so for windowed apps, blurry, and for full-screen apps, the apps was showing the normal resolution about 2.5k by 1.5k, but the *display* looked to be 640x480, so top-left corner only of the app could be seen), and running very slowly.
Wine was then unusuable, and I was at a loss as to what had happened or why.
After about 20 or 30 minutes of experimentation and Googling, I found this thread, tried to make the solution work but to begin with failed, but in the end achieved success with;
"REG.exe ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers" /T REG_SZ /D "~ HIGHDPIAWARE" /F"
(But that HKCM specifically did not work - I needed HKCU.)
From my point of view, Wine was broken after update, and needed 30 minutes of Googling to fix. If this were to be a common experience, it would cause substantial disruption.
Finally, note there is one new problem; from the single full-screen app I use, I can now alt-tab to the Linux desktop exactly *once* before the display of the app goes black, i.e. the screen display is now simply a black screen, and so the app must be killed from the Linux command line and then restarted.
It used to be I could alt-tab quite a bit, maybe ten times, but in the end textures would not load, and then I would need to quit (which I could do in the normal way, and restart.)
