[Bug 16596] New: Spirits of Metropolis doesn't work properly without using 'Emulate a Virtual Desktop'
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16596
Summary: Spirits of Metropolis doesn't work properly without using 'Emulate a Virtual Desktop' Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P3 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: lostoverthere@gmail.com
The game, Spirits of Metropolis, does not display either full screen (default) or windowed mode correctly. However, this issue is easily resolved by enabling Emulate Virtual Desktop and setting it to 800x600.
However, if you dont do that and let the game run by itself. When it starts for the first time in full screen. The game appears in the top left hand corner if the users resolution is larger then 800x600, with the rest of the space just being black. The game is meant to be stretched to the users resolution by default.
If the user changes the games settings in options to run in windowed mode, the game goes into windowed mode but the game itself shifts up approximately 500px so the bottom 100px are only visible in the top of the game (the rest is black).
Although this problems are irritating and should be easily fixed this in no way alters or distracts the user from the game as the problem can be very easily sorted by setting WINE's global settings to run in an Emulated Virtual Desktop at 800x600 (the game's native resolution). Problem temporarily solved.

--- Comment #4 from Nicholas Kraak lostoverthere@gmail.com 2009-07-02 21:18:42 --- Austin English, I haven't tried it with WINE 1.1.24 or later, but I'll certainly do so when I get the chance to within the coming week.

--- Comment #6 from Gerry trick@icculus.org 2010-03-28 22:43:27 --- This problem (or one very like it) is still present in Wine 1.1.41.
eg Treasure Island Online (Game Maker 8) draws at an offset halfway outside the window: http://www.venbrux.com/blog/?p=141
or Fish Face (Game Maker 6), fullscreen version is offset and windowed version is just black and behaves strangely: http://teknopants.com/games/fishface/
Running with a virtual desktop works around the problem, but only for certain sizes of the virtual desktop. For treasure island i also had to disable window decorations for mouse offset to work properly and got stuck with a window in the lower right of the screen. This is not a good workaround in any case since games can't be run in fullscreen this way, and it sometimes requires setting the virtual desktop to smaller than that required for the window used by winecfg to be fully visible.
