Running Playonlinux's debugger yields the following: Trying different Windows versions in Wine, as well as different Wine versions Adjusting Wine configuration 'Graphics' tab options in PLayonlinux (unchecking the 'emulating a virtual desktop' option makes it fullscreen but with no cursor nor any X button to close the window I must restart the computer) Adjusting Playonlinux 'Display' tab options I didn't install the HoMM3 update because as I understand it the update has now been included in the main gog HoMM3 file, and anyways the update doesn't address the aforementioned issue. I'm not allowed to post the link, suffice it to say that it's a guide from gamers on linux website and it seems reputable. I can only retrieve my cursor to close the game by pressing the windows keyboard button (which in Ubuntu brings up the search).įor reference, I used the following instructions to install the game: I can still use the cursor in the background on the desktop and other simultaneous applications, but when I move the cursor over the HoMM window it disappears from view, clicking anywhere when it's disappeared over the window traps it in the window, and moreover the click is never registered in the game so I can't get beyond the credits. The problem is when I launch HoMM (via Playonlinux) the window doesn't maximize and moreover the window doesn't recognize the cursor. it worked OK on previous Ubuntu versions but now doesn't work after updating Ubuntu to 16.10 (from ~14). Hello and thanks in advance for any assistance! The cursor doesn't work during the opening intro the first time you install the game, and you have to wait through the whole intro in order to get to the game with working cursor.
