UT3 inder wine ALMOST works... (11.1)

I installed wine from:

/repositories/Emulators:/Wine/openSUSE_11.1/

…and UT3 (unreal tournament 3) installed and runs just fine!!! (The wine version in the default opensuse repos doesn’t work.) Only one glitch - I can only turn 180 degrees (I can’t turn around) using the mouse. So I can only move forward until I hit a wall - I can’t turn around!! :’(

Anyone know of a fix? I’ve been searching online all day.

Thanks,
Patti

Found it… I went to this page:

It turns out you have to edit the windows registry - I used regedit.exe under my /home/my_name/.wine/drive_c/windows directory, and added

[Software\Wine\DirectInput]
“MouseWarpOverride”=“force”

Note: This goes under HKEY_CURRENT_USER in regedit.exe and you have to create a new key, rename it “DirectInput”, then create a new string value “MouseWarpOverride” and add it’s value at “force” (no quotes when you’re in regedit).

Screen performance is kinda sucky compared to an XP boot (Phenom II quad 9750 4GB NVidia 9800GT 1GB 11.1 x86_64)

Oops #2 - now it’s started confining me to 180 degrees again - I guess it’s a “flaky” fix or else I need to reboot or something…
