Summary: Master of Orion 2 hangs as soon as mouse is moved Product: Wine Version: 0.9.19. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-binary AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: lhouk@lesliehouk.com
I recently installed Fedora Cora 5 (2.6.17-1.2157_FC5) on my PC, and then installed Wine (0.9.19) from the Fedora yum repository. I installed Master of Orion II, and tried to run it. It started OK, but as soon as I moved the mouse, it seemed to hang. My keyboard and mouse stopped working, and the only way I could break out was to hit Ctrl-Alt-Del and log out. I tried this repeatedly, and it happened each time.
When MOO2 runs under Wine, it actually has two cursors, the Linux arrowhead cursor and MOO2's cursor, a pointing hand. When I move the mouse, the Linux cursor slides across the window just fine, but the MOO2 cursor jerks once or twice, trying to keep up with the Linux cursor, and then hangs. Maybe the problem is that Wine gets more requests to redraw the MOO2 cursor than it can keep up with? (Although it works just fine on the same PC under Windows 2000.) Are there any WINEDEBUG settings I should try that can help diagnose the problem?
If anyone needs it for testing, a time-limited demo of MOO2 is available from "http://www.download.com/Master-of-Orion/3000-7564_4-10247352.html". Thanks in advance to all who respond.
