XIII - Classic Tips

Resolving mouse issues/turn limitation:

If you install this game it will run great from the get-go with one not-so-tiny little issue: When the (invisible) mouse pointer hits what I assume must be the borders of the X window backing the application, you won't be able to turn any further.

Thankfully this can be remedied by following the steps described below. I can not take full credit for those since they are basically a mashup of various sources I found using everyone's favourite search engine.

  1. Install XIII into a new bottle (duh).
  2. Choose "Programs/Run command..."
  3. Enter "regedit" as the command and make sure that the bottle you created in Step 1 is selected.
  4. Create a key with the path HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine/DirectInput (if it does not yet exist).
  5. Add a String to the key with name "MouseWarpOverride" and a value of "force".
  6. Quit the registry editor.
When in doubt, please refer to the image below  (and look past the German menu names in regedit).

Enjoy!
