[Bug 21159] New: "Rayman 2": Does not recognize user input

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21159

Summary: "Rayman 2": Does not recognize user input
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.35
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: directx-dinput
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

"Rayman 2 - The Great Escape" seems promising so far (installation and
launching work), but you can't get past the first menu screen because the game
won't react to any user input (keyboard, mouse or joypad).
Switching to a native dinput.dll hasn't worked out for me (I really tried, many
different versions in different places), but apparently it has for some users
(see gold ratings).
I'd be happy to provide logs if asked. There's nothing unusual in it so far,
even if run with WINEDEBUG=+dinput.

Regular console output. +all and +relay slow it down so badly the game doesn't
even start.

Does it work with older Wine version(s)?

I've tried several other versions (the ones that supposedly worked for some
users, i.e. 1.1.15 etc.) and 1.1.26 as well as the latest one, but none worked
out. 0.9.56 didn't start at all.

I never saw Rayman2 react to the keyboard with the built-in dinput.dll
Using a native dinput.dll works for me on MacOS with  wine-1.3.3.
Ian, did you configure the WINEDLLOVERRIDE properly? Overwrite the fake 2KB
dinput.dll with the native >130KB one in windows/system32/ and configure an
override for Rayman2.exe using winecfg or the registry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\AppDefaults\Rayman2.exe\DllOverrides]
"dinput"="native"
or start using
WINEDLLOVERRIDES=dinput=n wine Rayman2.exe
(Copying native dinput.dll into Rayman's directory may work too).

I know it has been many months after the last response, but I too ran into this
bug. After going through the various positive test results, I realised that the
native override would only work once Wine was configured to run in Windows 98
mode. Running in Windows XP mode would result in the keyboard not working.

I'm using a dinput.dll from w2k and it works fine with Wine's default (XP)
setting.  No need to switch to w98 mode.

The topic about how the dozen versions (from w95 to w7) of a dll behave
differently has hardly been covered in the context of Wine, AppDB or mailing
lists.  It's likely hairy -- ready to enter "dll hell"?

I can confirm Ian's default console log.  It's basically unchanged in 1.3.6 and
gives no hint as to why built-in dinput doesn't work.

There is a demo for the game, showing the same problem with Wine-1.3.13.

--- Comment #11 from Lucas Fialho Zawacki  2012-08-17 13:59:15 CDT ---
Ok I think I figured this bug out. The game is looking for the keyboard layout
type in a call for IDirectInput_GetCapabilities (the member dwDevType from
DIDEVCAPS struct) and doesnt like what Wine puts there. Wine classifies it as
DI8DEVTYPEKEYBOARD_UNKNOWN (the value is 0) and the game refuses to recognize
further input after this call.

I've made several tests and it seems any value, but 0, makes input work past
from this point. The documentation for MSDN suggests various values that could
go into this field (see dwDevType remarks here
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/microsoft.directx_sd...)
and I imagine native dinput decides one of those values based on the info it
has about the keyboard.

So I see some options for fixing this. The most corret would be to interpret
the values from calls like GetKeyboardLayout and assign a valid dwDevType, but
I don't see how Wine could do this realiably and that's probably why it just
reports UNKNOWN now.

A more pragmatic approach would be to just stick to one single value as being
"the one" keyboard type reported by Wine's dinput. I've tested several Windows
machines, (one XP box, one 7 box and all the VMs in Wine testbot) and they all
reported the value DI8DEVTYPEKEYBOARD_PCENH - my machines were using a pt_BR
locale, by the way. When native dinput.dll is used under Wine it reports
DI8DEVTYPEKEYBOARD_PCXT, probably based in something it infers from the
keyboard the X11 exposes.

I like the pragmatic option best and I'd suggest we stick with reporting
DI8DEVTYPEKEYBOARD_PCENH. We could argue if this would cause regressions,
because now apps that use GetCapabilities would "assume" that this is the
correct layout, but I doubt it would be a serious problem. Again this is a very
common value according to my tests.

In another note, I discovered bug #28232 is a duplicate of this. The same
modification fixes it too, and they're both Ubisoft games from the same year
hmmm :)

That bug has a regression id, does reverting that commit fixes this bug too?

No, in my experience it doesnt help for this and neither for the original bug.
As the original poster in that bug says, the commit is not even related with
dinput...

Anyway here's the patch, I'll work on some test cases to try and get it
commited.
