Pokémon TCG Online

What works

All gameplay elements worked without issue, with the exception of after the window loses focus.

What does not

When the window lost and then regained focus it did not receive inputs from my mouse and keyboard as it had before. Instead, it treats the inputs as if the window is still not in focus. Some searching revealed that this is a known issue that multiple apps suffer from.

The game also fails to close properly, requiring that it be forced it exit manually.

Workarounds

To work around the issue that occurs when the window loses focus, the popular quick fix was to use winecfg under the Graphics tab and to either use "Emulate a virtual desktop" or uncheck the boxes concerning the window manager. You would then not encounter the issue as the program would simply never lose focus.

I eventually found a better workaround in this thread:

add a registry key for "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\X11 Driver\UseTakeFocus" and set it to "N"

This seems to have completely resolved the issue.

What was not tested

I made no attempt to work around the program failing to exit, simply due to it being a minor annoyance when compared to the inputs not working after losing focus. 

Other versions of WINE were not tested; however, others and myself have certainly experienced these issues on older versions. 

Hardware tested

Graphics:

• GPU: Nvidia
• Driver: proprietary

Additional Comments

I personally launch the game with the "Run With Output in Console" option just to make closing it easier. Simply pressing ctrl c in the console forces it to exit.
