Summary: Heroes of Might and Magic V (demo) doesn't recognize input events Product: Wine Version: 0.9.19. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P3 Component: wine-directx-dinput AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: fyhuang@gmail.com
The demo of Heroes of Might and Magic V, after having installed and run with the "allow window manager to control windows" option unset, doesn't recognize any keyboard events and seems to only be able to handle mouse left-clicks. All tooltips show hotkeys as being "MOUSE-AXIS-X", even though in the config file they are set correctly. Using right-click to rotate the camera and middle-click to scroll doesn't work. No keyboard buttons work at all, making it impossible to "press any key" and actually exit the demo (which requires a press of the ENTER key).
Grepping the output for 'dinput' gives:
err:dinput:DirectInput8Create CoCreateInstance failed with hr = -2147221164; Try running wineprefixcreate to fix it.
