    • worked

    • Thief Gold ["THIEF.EXE" ]
  • Test with 1.4.1 or even 1.3.37 would be interesting, as 1.5.x was laggy with [Thief 2] (Thief-2-the-metal-age)
    • 1.5.15, 1.4.1: mouse lags terribly on menu (at least)
    • 1.3.37, 1.3.27, 1.3.23, 1.3.18, 1.3.16: almost immediate crash: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x05614975 at address 0x5b2211 (thread 0009)
    • 1.2.3, 1.3.0, 1.3.12, 1.3.15: when you move the mouse the cursor is responsive but the gears in background just stop... Like some kind of high priority trick
    • change introduced between 1.3.15 and 1.3.16
    • Not fixed by trying to use iv50 package instead of provided Indeo codecs
      • But noDDFIX version works great!
        • ... until it loses mouse pointer and freezes
        • GrabFullScreen=Y didn't work
        • DXGrab=Y worked
        • randomly freezes nonetheless :( Mouse escaping was not the reason, but the consequence for the freeze
        • Randomly freezes with 1.4.1 too
        • With Wine 1.5.15, freezes immediately after entering game
• PlayOnLinux 4.2.2-dev
  • Tested with Wine 1.5.28
  • Barely faster in menus than 1.5.10
  • Require 800x600 resolution? http://www.playonlinux.com/en/issue-2350.html
