Mouse Lock Fix
source:
Beta report
Stefan Dösinger suggests to add the following key to your registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine/AppDefaults/abcdefg.exe/DirectInput/MouseHack = "disable"
(without the " characters offcourse and abcdefg.exe is the name of the executable of the game. In this case Catan.exe)
The way I added this key:
- Go to the menu holding CrossOver Office.
- Selected the Run Windows Command, waited for the program to come up.
- Selected the bottle the game is installed in, entered regedit and pressed ENTER, waited for regedit to come up.
- Then browsed to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Wine, AppDefaults
- Added a new key called Catan.exe
- Added a new key in this key called DirectInput
- Added a new string called MouseHack
- Entered disable in this string
- Quit the regedit program and started the game
note! Make sure you keep the mouse moving while starting the game up. If you don't move the mouse while the game starts, the fix doesn't seem to work.
!!! UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE !!!
A better way of disabling the MouseHack in the registry can be achieved this way:
Go into CrossOver configuration, then configure the bottle the game is installed in.
In Control Panel press the Run button. There type regedit.
When the registry editor is up go to HKEY_CURRENTUSER, open up Software, then open up Wine.
Here create a new key called DirectInput. In this key create a string with the name MouseHack and with the string disable
This should fix the mouse locking problem.
