Bug #: 31528 Summary: Left 4 Dead 2 display freezes when KDE KWin desktop effects are enabled Product: Wine Version: 1.5.10 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: fossphreak@gmail.com Classification: Unclassified
Launched Left 4 Dead 2. KDE desktop effects were turned on before launching. Noticed that Left 4 Dead 2 did not display anything during game startup (neither Valve intro or the game intro or menu) - however, the background music and sound was being played. Turned off desktop effects and then the game menu showed up immediately - the game in itself was running fine, only the display froze.
Turned on desktop effects again, and the game display froze once again. If I moved my mouse over the menu options, I could hear the sound that indicates the mouse hovering over an option, but the display did not update (the menu option over which I was hovering did not turn white). Turned off desktop effects and the display immediately unfroze.
