Title: Dungeon Siege II : no mouse pointer

Hi,
I was trying to run Dungeon Siege II (currently on sale on the Humble Store) using Wine Staging 1.7.54: the game launches and works, but I have no mouse pointer so I can't play. Searching the wine bugzilla tells me that this bug was fixed years ago.

Someone of you has the game and wants to try if it works with a different (vanilla or nine) Wine version?

Thanks in advance for any help! ;)

Already did, but nothing changed. Tried a different wine version (using playonlinux and wine 1.7.53_crossoverhack) and the mouse cursor is a black block (at least is visible), still problems with gameplay...
I will now try how it works disabling CSMT...

Yes! Disabling CSMT did the trick: the cursor is now a black block with a cursor into it, it's odd but at least the game works. ;)

The game is still buggy and needs to run into a virtual desktop, otherwise the resolution will be less than required. If I set a game resolution of 1024x768, the GNOME upper panel will steal precious pixels and make the game lower panel unusable. Also, the mouse pointer is attracted by the upper side of the screen: it keeps going up.

I've had a similar issue yesterday with Jade Empire, the game kept stuttering for no apparent reason, turned off CSMT and smooth as butter with a constant 60fps.
