[Bug 46584] New: Can' t use two mice at once for separate inputs in Ricochet Infinity

Bug ID: 46584
           Summary: Can't use two mice at once for separate inputs in
                    Ricochet Infinity
           Product: Wine
           Version: 4.0
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

This game has a really fun feature - it let's you use two mice (mouse+touchpad
also works) as two separate player inputs.
This does not work in WINE, every input seems to count as player 1.

Here's a picture from Windows in case you're still baffled -

The game has been discontinued for 8+ years, so if you have trouble finding it
for testing, here's a trial .exe that lets you test for 60 minutes -

Using KDE as a DE.

I was told this is an upstream issue with all the other software, and either
progress has to be made there or WINE has to grab input(optionally?) from /dev
directly.

And since this bugtracker seems to crash on certain unicode characters, here's
try #2 with the comments:

Tobias:
For xorg its freedesktop itself, for wayland its the respective rendering
engines, including wine upstream.
You'd need to ping wine, mutter (gnome wayland), xorg, kdes painter, sway and
more.
All would need to agree on a per-mice standard that isnt xorg multiseat (which
is a thing).

Or just ask wine to add the option to modify udev rules and natively grab mouse
events from /dev.

Is this still an issue in Wine 9.9 or later?

I don't think anything related to multiple tagged USB peripherals got
implemented in X or Wayland compositors in the first place, much less in WINE,
so I'm going to go out on a leg and say yes.
