wine users - Feb 2010 - ut2004

I'm having problems with the mouse in UT2004. it appears that the desktop
mouse and the game mouse are not locked together. when the desktop mouse reaches
the right side of the screen and stops, the game mouse stops in the middle of
the screen. moving the mouse back to the left, the game mouse stops at the edge
of the screen, and when the desktop mouse stops at the left side, both cursors
appear to be kind of in line, but never for very long. and that's just the
game menu. In-game i get eratic mouse movement with similar issues and limited
looking and turning capabilities.

I tried every possible combination of settings. I added the ut2004.exe to the
applications tab and went to the graphics tab and checked each setting
individually and with various combinations, i even tried the last recommendation
by hellork which was to use the dinput library exception. still no go. I even
edited the UT2004.ini file to show my correct display resolution.

it appears to be limiting my turning radius to between 90-180 degrees, which
makes it hard to watch your back.

There is a linux installer on my disc but i had problems with it the last time i
tried and i'd really like to get it working in wine.

You are right about the mouse it is a known issue (bug 6971). One of the issues
is that X doesn't deliver events when the mouse hits the borders (xinput2
fixes this) and there are some more issues.

The best you can do is really use the Linux version of UT2004. You might have
issues installing it but it is woth all the troubles and it is really good. I
think there is also a more modern installer.
