ARMA 2 Forum

I was planning to buy this game for the DayZ mod that recently came out.

I was wondering if I got this game on Steam and just used the mod (setting my steam up to launch the mod instead of the actual game itself) whether it would work with CrossOver? I have been watching videos on this mod and it looks like my dream game, if anyone has any info on this I would appreciate it.

right now its imposible to play this game because of the mouse and keyboard input lib RawInput3 is not supported by wine.

[link=http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20395][/link]

this bug needs to fixed.

all other like network and graphic works well in arma2.

you need to open up a support ticked and ask to fix winebug:20395

they wrote to me that they maybe wana fix this in a month.

so open a ticket then they know more people need it.

It seems there is already a patch for Wine for this so should be fairly trivial to roll that patch back into cxover.

How to get mouse input working
raw3.patch from bug 20395 with WINE 1.5.9 from git is required to get any ARMA II-based games to recognize mouse input (clicks).

The following should be adapted to your system requirements (architecture, etc):

git clone git://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git ~/wine-git
cd ~/wine-git
git checkout wine-1.5.9
wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6901628/raw3.patch -O ../raw3.patch
git apply ../raw3.patch
./tools/make_requests
mkdir ../wine-build
cd ../wine-build
../wine-git/configure --prefix="$HOME"
make -j3
make install

You may now want to add the new WINE to your PATH variable (export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/bin", you can also add this to your shell's startup script (eg. bashrc).

Hi guys,

I've just given it a try and it works!!!!

Installed Ubuntu 12.10 32bit no updates just amd driver 13.1 from ubuntu software center, Crossover 12 trial and ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead DVD v1.51 in Windows Vista Bottle. now I'm going to update it to v1.60.
No mouse and keyboard issues! The unique problems are some textures which become pink or green but I think codeweavers and wine community are doing a great job!

my pc specs are:

AMD Athlon II X64 270
8GB RAM
AMD RADEON HD 5570
1 PATA drive
