[2.3.1] Uncontrollable mouse while minimized

[Nuzurame]

Hello everyone, thanks for improving such a great game.
Let's get to the point already:

A few days ago i downloaded and installed latest Warzone2100 (v2.3.0). I was playing without any issues using this version.
Today (16.06) I found out about the new release v2.3.1. I have downloaded it, uninstalled older, and installed v2.3.1.

Everything works fine including savegames, but while i minimize the game, my mouse is somehow blocked in the upper-left corner of the screen. I can't really do anything about it. Neither clicking, or alt+tab'ing does'nt help. In version 2.3.0 minimizing worked fine, i was minimizing dozens of times without problem.

I found it common to some games, but in almost every case, i could just click on some folder, or just alt+tab to some folder and it got back to normal. However, i cant do anything about it in Warzone2100 v2.3.1.

I am using Windows 7 64bit, single-core proc.

I am guessing that whoever did the 2.3.0 build, and whoever did the 2.3.1 build, the dev's build systems are not the same.

http://developer.wz2100.net/ticket/1340 says it was fixed.

I did the 2.3.1 build, but unless Buginator changed anything for his 2.3.0 build, it should be the same, there were no changes regarding SDL after 2.3.0...

Ticket #1340 says it was fixed, but I still have this problem on v2.3.1

I was changing between those two versions (2.3.0 and 2.3.1) a few times and the problem appears only on 2.3.1
Once again I notice: I am working on Windows 7 + playing on fullscreen and colored cursor enabled.

I hope you guys manage to fix it somehow :)

Can you please try https://sourceforge.net/projects/warzon ... z/download and see if the problem is fixed ?

Thanks!

You replace your old warzone2100.exe with the one in the archive. You need 7zip (free) to unpack it.

We've found the problem. My build didn't actually include the SDL patch to fix this issue. A fixed build will be available soon.

And by "soon" we mean "now".

It works! - the .exe which Buginator mentioned did the job and minimizing now works fine!

Good (new) - Warzone2100.exe (21 368 791 bytes)
Bad (older) - Warzone2100.exe (21 365 653 bytes)

Thanks for putting the repaired & compressed .exe file alone. My net download is limited.
