WINE - moving mouse crashes some 3d games

[Misalf]

Hello, I'm a Linux newcomer who tryes to run some games via WINE on TinyCore.

Some 3D apps that I have on my Windows partition are running without problems or further configuration needed using wine (1.4.1) through Linux Mint 14 (Mate) with nvidia drivers.

On TC, some 3D apps either do not lauch at all or they crash as soon as I move the mouse.


I tryed:

• nouveau (xf86-video-nv.tcz)
• nvidia (from TC repo)
• nvidia 319.17 (created tcz via scripts I found here on TC forum)

• Xorg 7.5 / 7.5-3D / 7.6 / 7.6-3D

• wine.tcz (from TC repo) + gecko (+/- DirectX9.0c ; +/- DInput8)
• wine 1.6.rc4 + gecko & mono (+/- DirectX9.0c)
• wine 1.6 + gecko & mono (+/- DirectX9.0c)

Though, on compiling wine 1.6 it told me libOSMesa and OpenCL where not present so it would lack some rendering features or something. I couldn't find any of that with appbrowser so I compiled anyway.


This one (nice for testing 3D) works great: fr-041: debris. (farbrausch)
It's not a game (but a demo) and I can move the mouse as much as I want; no problem. I can even scroll out of a 'fake fullscreen' by moving the mouse cursor to the edge of the screen - and scroll back (Xorg 7.6-3D).

This one works but "mouse crash": Europa (quickfingers)
Its a FPS like game wich I have tested for several minutes without moving the mouse at all but only using keyboard to move around in-game; No problem - until I move the mouse.


Console output after $ wine Europa.exe:
(Sorry, but when I use 'code' tags here, the board tells me: "Sorry, you are not allowed to post external links." so I use 'quote' tags) Yay, got over 5 posts. Can use code now...

Is the crash related to Xlibs (this message appears in the console immediately after moving the mouse)? Can I recompile it in a way so it won't loose 'sequence'?

The weird path of the game directory that you can see above is due to symlinking it from another partition on my USB drive. But I've copyed the game around and tryed to execute it from different locations without luck.

It's been a while since I've tried it, but I used to get the same issue with some games on different distros. I'm afraid I don't remember exactly what I did to fix it and I haven't had to use Wine for that in a while.

Have you tried changing any of the settings in Wine's "graphics" tab? Emulating a virtual desktop that matches your screen size might help. I know that helped one game, but I don't remember which one.

Sometimes some programs wouldn't work right (like not grabbing text input) if I used the window manager settings there too.

Side note: If you know the filename of the library the compiler was looking for, you can search for it using "provides" in the appbrowser instead of "search". They could be in -dev extensions.

Yes, I played with the 'Graphics' settings. Several combinations.

window manager stuff is off.
I have only window decorations turned off.
Using fluxbox, I have the opposite effect when 'Allow the window manager to control the windows' is disabled. Key presses would sometimes not get catched then by wine.

Emulating a virtual desktop that matches your screen size [...]

Interesting, I'll keep that in mind. But no luck for now.

hmm, I'm not exactly in the mood but maybe I'll compile wine again (~50 minutes) if I can find those libraries in config.log.

The problem seem to have been solved on TC 5.x (Xorg-7.7).
