A game with wine on full screen is giving me trouble

Question

As you can see game is unplayable with wine on Ubuntu 16.04. I don't know how to explain my problem. When I play it on windowed screen there is no problem. I've had the same issue with outlast as well. I was suspecting compiz was the problem, but on arch linux I could play it on full screen on gnome desktop. As I know gnome desktop uses compiz, right ? I'm not a linux newbie, I'm using it for "years" but struggled so much to play games. Now, I feel like to play some games. Do you have any suggestion ?

I've tried on wine 1.6.2 and 1.8.2. I have AMD HD 5670 graphics card with open source drivers on Ubuntu 16.04.

Answer 1

From Ali's comment below the question:

1. Open a terminal (press Ctrl+Alt+T).
2. Set WINEPREFIX if needed by running export WINEPREFIX="/path/to/wine-prefix".
3. Run winecfg.
4. Go to the Graphics tab.
5. Uncheck Allow the window manager to control the windows.
6. Click OK.

Answer 2

This was causing me problems on Wine for fullscreen as you said.
Disabling "Allow window manager to control the windows" fixed the fullscreen problem for me, but introduces a new problem: Wine windows (explorer, etc) are always on top, until closed, no control from the panel is possible or minimizing.
Then, I made a new discovery: re-enabling the screen compositor did the trick. I can have fullscreen Wine again. Really weird. (this is on Xubuntu 16.04 Xfce 4.2.0) Thanks very much for sharing!!
