similar to: Mouse flickers between game and desktop cursors in Civ 4

All, I am finally stumped enough by something to post in the forum! Basically whilst running a game through steam (either from steam itself or running the exe directly) I get 2 cursors. Now one of them is the one I would expect and works properly, however the second one is kinda anchored to the middle of the screen and looks like the gnome cursor. If you move your mouse, the middle cursor tries

This has been an ongoing issue with all of the 1.4 releases. In several games, notably Oblivion, Fallout 3, Fallout:NV, and Far Cry, the mouse will not function properly. On main menus, the mouse will be stuck in one quadrant of the screen, as if what the mouse thinks the screen boundaries are is not aligned with the actual boundaries. In game, the mouse swings wildly all over the screen,

Hi, After a devastating viral attack on in XP, I've moved to Ununtu- I love it. I also love Civilization 4, and I'm having a hard time getting it to run. 1. I can't get the installers to run. If I run setup.exe, I am allowed to choose my install language whereupon I recieve this error: Error Code: -5005 : 0x8007000d Error Information: >Kernel\KernelMedia.cpp (95)

Hey, i finally figured out how to install Civ4 in wine, and it worked perfektly yesterday for like 10h when i tried to save my game it randomly crashed (i did save a couple times bevore) and told me it has a "bad memory access err". Today when I tried starting Civ4 it freezes upon opening the window with the following output: Code: fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented

Initially the bottom half of the screen was cut off for civilization 4 and It seems to have corrected itself now, for unknown reasons. Now it keeps giving the computer opponents time victories within a few minutes. Why is it doing that? And how do i correct it?

Hi, i've a Problem with my Age of Empires 2 Gold. The Monitor flickers when i start a game or hover a button in menu. Half-Life is working well. glxgears is also working well. Ubuntu 11.10 Wine Version: 1.3.28 Video Card: GeForce 9400 GT Game Version: 1.0c with no-CD crack [Image: http://www.abload.de/img/bildschirmfotoam2011-19pvm.png ]

Since 1.3.28 there should be a " Device configuration dialog in DirectInput.". Where do i find this dialog ? In winecfg thre is no such dialog.

Apparently it is possible to run Civilization 3 under wine, but i'm having no luck. It installed fine, but won't run. With recent CVS winex i get: [~/.wine/c_drive/civ3]$ wine Civilization3.exe fixme:module:CreateProcessA (E:\~ef7194.tmp,...): CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE ignored fixme:module:CreateProcessA (E:\~ef7194.tmp,...): NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS ignored err:int:INSTR_IDT_Emulate Evil attempt

Hey folks, I noticed when trying to download mods via the in-game interface in Civilization V, hovering over the download button says > > Cannot download because Microsoft BITS has not been started >

hey dudez! I've almost got Civilization:Call To Power to work perfectly (after jumping through some hoops) but there's just one problem. Whenever I move my mouse to the edge of the window to scroll the map the mouse gets stuck and it scrolls forever. The game doesn't freeze though. What could be the problem to that and what libraries should I copy over to get it fixed? Any ideas?

I've been searching every forum I can think of and have only found solutions for individual games, none of which are the ones I'm having a problem with. I have an Acer Aspire 1699, with an ATI Radeon 1550x graphics card, dual core CPU running at 1.8GHz. I'm running Ubuntu 11.04. So far I've had this problem with Black & White 2, Cities In Motion, Trainz 12, Hidden &

Yeah, can't wait for the native client and anyway it was Steam free weekend so I went ahead and downloaded Unreal Tournament 3, the game runs immaculately and performs surprisingly well on my rather low-end 8400gs, but one problem: I can't aim. The mouse works fine in the menus but during actual play im unable to aim,the mouse can move but only slightly, I put mouse sensitivity up to

Here's a rundown of versions, in case any of it is important: Wine: 1.3.21 Kernel: 2.6.39 (Gentoo r1) X.Org X server: 1.10.2 Window manager: musca (0.9.24) I'm using the default xorg.conf settings. When I run any program in wine (notepad, for example), the keyboard stops working after I click the mouse. I can type to my heart's content as long as I don't use the mouse. However,

Ok, as of 1.3.23, the I'm seeing behavior is as ertdfg22 described. If I set "MouseWarpOverride"="disable" then the mouse immediately gets stuck on the first screen in the lower left corner after a little jumping around. If I set "MouseWarpOverride"="enable", everything appears to work fine on the first screen, but when I select "Load a Saved

I can get into everything and the menu, character selection screen, and all of that works just fine; but when the cursor is no longer visible and I start the actual game, my sensitivity is so ridiculously high, it's either facing the sky or at the ground, no matter how slightly I move the mouse. I tried changing the in-game sensitivity, and I have no idea how to fix this. Any suggestions?

Hello, I'm running Diablo 2 under Wine. It runs beautifully, except I get two mouse cursors: the game cursor, and the X cursor. This can get kind of disconcerting sometimes, because they're not always colocated. Any hints? I have DxGrab = Y. -- Soli Deo Gloria -Rob French

Just started playing Fallout 2 with Doc's wrapper and it works beautifully with OSX 10.6.6. When the computer goes to sleep there's an annoying problem. After wake up there's a black mouse pointer in the middle of the screen. Game's own cursor is still there and working properly. Is there a way to get rid of the extra cursor?

I've been successfully playing Civ IV in wine for some time, but recently I've been trying unsuccessfully to upgrade to the Warlords expansion. I tried various suggestions that I found through google, including those on wine's appdb. Basically, I've tried every combination of: setting Direct3d 9 to be native installing msxml3 via winetricks and making it native disabling

Hello, I'm trying to get Civ IV running on my 64 bit version of Ubuntu 7.10 using the latest Wine version using these directions: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/06/10/special-civilization-iv-playable-on-linux/ (the winehq appDB points to this guide as well) I'm having problems getting CivIV to run though. Firstly, looking at the wine settings here:

Hi, I'm running into errors trying to launch Civilization IV (both basic and BtS). I followed the instructions from the thread below: http://osdir.com/ml/wine-users/2009-08/msg00427.html ...and changed OffscreenRenderingMode to "backbuffer". This solves the problem described there but runs into another. Setting it to "pbuffer" gives the same result: -------8<--------
