Mouse Capture

Hey everyone. So I've got two games installed through Crossover right now, Freespace 2 and Fallout 2. When I run Freespace 2, emulating a virtual desktop, the mouse isn't captured, allowing me to move the mouse out of the window so that I can do things like adjust the window location, look at other programs, etc.

However, when I run Fallout 2 it does capture the mouse, which is bad because the windowed-mode screen is small and in the upper corner. Any idea how to make it so that it doesn't capture the mouse?

You can set MouseWarpOverride to force_edge (force mouse warp when on the edge of the
window/screen), or just disable it.```
/HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine/AppDefaults/fallout2.exe/DirectInput/
MouseWarpOverride=force_edge
or
MouseWarpOverride=disable



Run regedit (Run a Windows Command, select the bottle and run regedit)

Navigate to HKCU/Software/Wine/AppDefaults and create a **fallout2.exe** folder/key.

In the fallout2.exe folder, create a **DirectInput** folder/key.

In the DirectInput folder, create a **MouseWarpOverride** string and modify the data to  
*force_edge* or *disable*.

Other useful registry tweaks can be found at [http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys](http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys).
