I just upgraded from WINE 4.9 to 4.16 for my Overwatch install (L tool) and a previous convenience no longer works.

I run the game Windowed Borderless and I have 2-3 monitors (one just died).

When I'm waiting to queue, or dead, or whatever, I used to be able to move my mouse outside the window freely (when the cursor was being shown, there are times it is not shown for gameplay reasons). This was very useful to me.

Now, after switching to 4.16, the mouse will not leave the window unless I alt-tab or something equivalent.

I'm not sure if this issue is specifically 4.16, or another version higher than 4.9, but this is a regression.

Anyone know a way to get this fixed? Or should we file a bug?

Oh, and it gets worse, now sometimes the mouse won't constrain AT ALL, and as I turn around my mouse is now outside the game and clicking on things outside the game.

Guess I'm switching back to 4.9 for now :/ this is completely unplayable.

I'm not entirely sure what's going on. I've had this happen randomly over the last few months and I believe it was with 4.17 last time. I've been meaning to look into it but I haven't had a lot of time. Perhaps this weekend. I've noticed that my TKG wine builds have never had this issue. I'll have to try some different builds excluding some patches to see if I can pinpoint the issue.

I have also found that it can be related to whether you have fullscreen or not. My game resolution already matched my screen, but there was phantom mouse input executing perpetual movement to the left (I tested this by decreasing mouse sensitivity, which resulted in the left movement to be slowed down as well). When I switched to borderless window mode, the issue went away. Considering the other comments, there might be a reason for this: In fullscreen mode (but with wine's "virtual desktop" feature enabled and set to the screen's resolution), the game resolution ended up not being quite perfect, but falling a few pixels short, a phenomenon I've experienced with kwin before (which is currently my window manager). That skew in resolution might have resulted in the phantom movement. Perhaps this might help someone else with that particular issue.

So, I get this kind of error when trying to launch Overwatch.exe:

019d:fixme:heap:RtlSetHeapInformation 0x3780000 0 0x23cf50 4 stub
019d:err:seh:setup_exception stack overflow 2272 bytes in thread 019d

Any idea how I could fix that?

Please send some details on your system, wine tree/version, etc.

Are you running this separate from the Blizzard App?

Upon launching the game a dialog pops up saying: 'Game Initialization Failed!'. When launching Battle.net I also get a dialog saying that SystemSurvey.exe Failed.

SystemSurvey crashing is more of a Battle.net problem, so see this for that: appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=33746&sAllBugs

Also, launch the game in terminal in order to get more specific error messages, these could make it easier to at least identify your problem.

Wrong link... this should be it appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=28855

Anyone else experiencing that the computer does a hard freeze and I need to hold the power button. I've just installed OW tried using wine 3.3 PBA & wine 3.5 staging. I have tried to play 3 games now. First game it froze 1 sec before losing a match. The two other games it froze just as the game was about to start, before the spawn area opens. I am using amd graphics, kernel driver: amdgpu, mesa: 18.1 devel using oibaf ppa, ubuntu 16.04 linux kernel 16.0

I've experienced a hard freeze after a few minutes of play on my RX480 4GB in the past. Same setup with the mesa driver set. Going to attempt running the game on Arch, without any helper programs like Lutris or PlayOnLinux. Might help to use DXVK.

For amdgpu you need to set the following environment variable:

MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.0COMPAT

Reference: www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/82c8xu/psa_found_possible_fix_for_overwatch_on_amd_with/

Anyone know anything about the lag issue?

Sometimes the game runs OK but sometimes it lags so badly that it becomes a slideshow of still images and sometimes freezes completely for 1-5 seconds even.

This sounds like it: bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43781

Yeah, its from building shaders. I find it helpful to go use every ability in in a custom match with cooldowns removed every wine/overwatch/gpu driver update a couple times to build most of them before playing with anyone online. It definitely doesn't get rid of the issue but it does help a lot.

So I would have to play every single hero and use every single ability once? That would take more time than the time I want to spend playing at a time :(

My cursor constantly pulls towards the sky. (see bug #42675 ) None of the new Bronze results mention having this issue, so I wonder, anyone knows a workaround or temp fix?

Arch 64 bit + KDE 5 + Wine Staging official Arch package

This has to do with Resolution and Aspect Ratio, make sure they are set correctly. If you have an ultrawide screen, you might have to change your desktop resolution to something "normal" like 1920x1080.

That used to work for my 4:3 monitor, but I am no longer able to select wide-screen resolutions for this display connected to a nvidia gfx card.

Oh! My resolution was set correctly to my screen's native 1680 * 1050, but for whatever reason it had 16:9 aspect ratio instead of the correct 16:10. I was even wondering about the black bars on top and bottom...

After setting the correct aspect, it works!

Thank you very much! :D

you cannot install Overwatch on Windows XP how did you do it?? Blizzard app doesnt launch unless im on Windows XP

Well, actually. Blizzard app runs well in Windows 10 for me on 2.9 staging.

Always getting same exception on start:

err:seh:setup_exception stack overflow 880 bytes in thread 0031 eip 000000007bc9fc56 esp 0000000003ab12a0 stack 0x3ab0000-0x3ab1000-0x3bb0000

I'm aware it's been a month since this was posted but:

Wine had a bug with 64-bit applications when compiled with GCC 7. It usually results in a stack overflow like the one you got. bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43127

Wine 2.10 (and by extension 2.10-staging) has the bug fixed. The fix has been backported (by me :D) to wine-overwatch 2.9 as a stopgap until wine-ow 2.10 is ready.
So, uh, recompile wine-overwatch and it should work.
