Author Topic: How to fix uncontrollable spinning on Blockland in WINE  (Read 1641 times)

If you are a Windows user and having uncontrollable spinning you should see this thread.
Alternatively as a Windows user, you should be able to follow similar instructions inside the Registry Editor that comes built-in with your OS. Disregard any mentions of PlayOnLinux or WINE if you are following this guide as a Windows user.

Instructions are using PlayOnLinux. If you know how to do everything without the graphical interface, you should be able to follow through this, too.

1. Go to the PlayOnLinux applications, and make sure you have BlocklandLauncher. It does not need to be selected.


2. Press Configure at the top of the window.
You should get a window that looks like this:


3. Go to the "Wine" tab. You should see a button that says Registry Editor.


4. Press on Registry Editor. Press the "+" right next to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, then press the "+" right next to Control Panel.
Press on "Desktop". Do not press the "+" or select any folders inside of it, just press the text.

Look for a REG_DWORD that says LogPixels. If you have found it, go to Step 6.
If you have not found it, continue reading from here.

5. Right click on an empty space, and create a new DWORD. Name it LogPixels.


6. Right click on the LogPixels DWORD and press Edit. It may be named Configure, or something similar.
Once the "Edit DWORD" box is open, change the value data to 96.

Press OK, and exit the Registry Editor.

7. Go back to the PlayOnLinux configuration, and press "Windows reboot".


8. Exit the PlayOnLinux configuration window. You should be on the main PlayOnLinux tab.


9. Have BlocklandLauncher selected, and press Play.


Blockland should now start normally, with mouse control working.

If you have done all the steps but it still will not work:
10. Go back to the configuration window in Step 3.

Click on "Configure Wine".

11. You should see this window.


12. Go to the "Graphics" tab.

Click "Emulate a virtual desktop".
The desktop size should be the resolution of your monitor or something close to it.
In GNOME 3, you can search for "Displays", double-click on the primary monitor in that window, then see the resolution of that monitor.
Press  "Windows restart" in the configure window in Step 3.

Nice.

If you are a Windows user and having uncontrollable spinning you should see this thread.
You can also just right click Blockland.exe > Compatibility > Disable display scaling on high DPI settings

Good guide.

If anyone keeps spinning uncontrollably after those instructions, they should drink less WINE.
