Hi!

Just in case you are one of the very few people on this planet still using FVWM (best WM ever, IMHO), this is what I needed to get MoI3D working nicely on Fedora 44:

Issue: In split view, the "Area/Zoom/Pan/Reset" field caused a black rectangle when moving the mouse pointer from one view to another.
Fix: install "picom" (Xorg compositor) using "sudo dnf install picom" and make sure it gets executed in ".xsession", i.e. "picom --backend egl &".
If you are using xsetroot to set you background color, then you need to replace that with hsetroot (sudo dfn install hsetroot).

Issue: mouse input events lagging behind. I.e. when zooming in by mouse wheel scroll, then the last zoom-in step is not carried out.
When then zooming out (using the mouse wheel), then there is one more zoom-in operation before a zoom out happens.
Fix: start Moi3D with the following command line: env vblank_mode=0 wine MoI.exe

BTW.: an alternative solution is to install the Lutris game launcher and add MoI3D as a game.
Similar to Steam/Proton, Lutris allows the user to select older wine versions that make MoI3D work without the above tweaks.

best regards

Bernhard

Sorry what is concretely this ? An existing game ?

<< FVWM (best WM ever, IMHO)

Does this exists "on line" ? and free ?

Of course i can seach on the web but to be sure! :)

Just for kicks, I installed MoI 5 beta on Linux Mint with a lot of help from ChatGPT.
I went through a few quirks along the way, including those annoying black areas appearing on the screen.

I also transferred all my shortcuts, scripts, and other settings from my main Windows installation, so MoI now works exactly as it does on Windows.

Everything runs smoothly now, with no issues whatsoever!

ok that was just a linux system! :)
Seems particulary easy! :)
