Wine recently updated to version 1.3, it was in my -DuvaN world. For those of you who might have had issues with some games in wine, you might as well give them another try with this newer version. Quite a few bug fixes and new features are included.

This is an awesome bug report, didn't know Dungeon Keeper 2 was abandonware. I was going to hold off on wine 1.3 in case the new dev branch broke things, but actually I noticed wine 1.2 final has a gfx glitch in Civ 4 for me so I might upgrade anyway.

Oh, BTS still starts for me, but zooming out to a globe view only shows background stars and cities, and no actual terrain.

If only the DIB Engine would make it in, for us Uru Myst fans.

I actually thought wine-1.3 was great until i did a fresh install. It breaks the installer for TES4 Oblivion. If i revert to wine-1.1.39, which i had to add patch for sound to work, install from there, then upgrade back to 1.3, everything is fine.

Well actually i use xbox controller most of time, never could get hang of keyboard and mouse, probably has to do with using controllers since i was little. Had all the console systems. I did try a couple of other sticks/controllers with wine, all seemed fine which was my point in mentioning it.

Ahh, I see.

Still, you might want to learn keyboard & mouse, it is superior for FPS & RTS games. I also started with controllers (Pong in the 70s, then Space Invaders, Atari, etc) and when first switching to keyboard it seemed odd for gaming, but after a bit of time I vastly prefer it for it's accuracy and button options (104 > 10).
