Hello everybody,
I wanted to finally get rid of win10 and therefore have its last right to exist, WoWs 
on Linux Mint 19.1 via Lutris / Wine installed.
The game starts, works so far and runs very smoothly.
I still have a very strange bug: I can not move the mouse freely.
I am always trapped in a corridor.
For example: Sometimes you can only see over the bow to starboard halfway and thus only align the guns there, then itās another area and then later another narrow area is blocked.
Totally strange.
The view behaves like a restricted Torpebo-shooting range that you can not leave ā¦ so it is not really playable.
Does anyone have an idea how to fix that?
This is a fairly common Wine problem in my experienceā¦ Mouse doesnāt properly get captured by the game and behaves like in the desktop (limiting the area you can move it to a fixed rectangle). IIRC, it usually starts working after you enable autocapture in winecfg (and if it doesnāt then alt-tabbing several times might fix it)
Hey,
thank you for your answer.
Indeed the box is unchecked.
I did not ādareā to change the wine settings since itās sad that Lutris brings in the perfect settings for each game by itself.
In the meantime it seems that the error is gone by changing the wine version .
For whatever reason it was set to tkg-osu-4.0, after changing it to 4.6 , the error was gone.
Greetings
Unfortunately, thereās no such thing as āperfectā in the world.
In Lutris, people make install scripts that seem to produce working results, and theyāre accepted as long as they seem to work for others as well. Still, some problems are caused by differences in hardware and/or environment, and thus arenāt easily discovered. So thereās no reason to abstain from touching settings if they can fix a problem youāve encountered (at the very least when the change is reversibleā¦ but even if it isnāt, nothing is stopping you from removing a botched install and make a clean one again).
