Mouse issue

Just chiming in to say that the mouse locking on right-click issue is still present. I've checked on the various Grapejuice pages though and it looks like they're aware of the bug - hopefully it will be fixed soon! Makes playing very difficult if you use a keyboard and mouse

Edit: The problem seems to be fixed with a patch added to wine-tkg. If you join the GrapeJuice discord channel, there's a link to the patched .pkg file that you can use to either install the patched version of wine (on arch-based systems), or (preferably) extract it somewhere and point to it in grapejuice's config file (that way you don't have to replace your current version of wine)

Pointer issues

Hello, I am experiencing a problem when playing any game on Roblox. My pointer freezes where it's at when I right-click or press any key on the keyboard. I am new to WINE (but not to Linux, so I am ok there), do tell me what logs to post. I am using Grapejuice as recommended. Thanks.

It's a common issue. I'd suggest filing a bug report so that the issue can be resolved sooner.

Turns out you need to recompile WINE with a .patch file (it's really .mypatch) and use that version to run Roblox. Fixes the locking when pressing a key on the keyboard, but when you right-click the problem stay (for me at least). I need to switch to another window and come back to unfreeze it. I used wine-tkg to recompile WINE, the process went smoothly. Hope everything becomes fully functional soon.

Glad to hear you managed to fix the issue using that patch! I will most likely file a bug report since the issue is present on vanilla Wine.
