Summary: Dropped mouse movement in Half-Life/Counter-Strike with Steam or another Win app Product: Wine Version: 20031212 Platform: PC URL: http://steampowered.com/ OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P3 Component: wine-misc AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: Jan_B@gmx.ch
When playing Half-Life/Counter-Strike 1.6 with Steam, the sensitivity changes all the time making it hard to aim.
Steps to reproduce: 1) Get CS 1.6 running with Steam OR get CS 1.5 plus another app running. 2) Make sure mouse acceleration is disabled. 3) Feel the sensitivity change depending on the viewing direction (probably CPU load) or measure if necessary. 4) Kill Steam.exe or the other app. 5) See that the sensitivity is now constant. No dropped mouse movement.
I don't know Wine good enough (yet) to guess what the cause of the problem is but developers probably do.
I realise that this bug isn't important to most developers but many users that play a Half-Life mod (and probably other games that need more than one executable running) would really like a fix.
