Playing game on Wine; Half of right screen and bottom screen is black.

Playing game on Wine; Half of right screen and bottom screen is black.
The game itself is displayed correctly, except it is blocked by what I am assuming is wine's resolution because the mouse cursor will not move out of the bounds from where the blackness begins.
Any help? Has this occured to anyone else before?

So, I'll explain it again...

Game is displayed perfectly, but vertically the right side of wine's display is black and horizontally the bottom side of wine's display is black and I am unable to move out of the bounds of it. I am seeking assistance to remove this.

It would help to mention which game, and your graphics setup.

Starcraft 2-Ultra; Windows 10-Wine. *EDIT* P.S Nice Dragon Ball Z character. Videl is awesome.

Compare that to the resolutions supported by the game....

TV-Screen/HDMI, I usually go ULTRA Graphic Settings with 1280x720 Resolution.
Hearthstone works perfectly. Starcraft 1, of course, works perfectly. Heroes and Starcraft 2 only have this configuration problem on wine.

so the games are like this in fullscreen. The games don't take the entire screen as I explained in the first post. They are displayed normally, but are cut off by the bounds of wine, I am assuming.

Please replace the oversized image with a link, see the sticky on the newbie bord about fourm rules.
So, the game runs at 1280x720 - and what's your desktop resolution and the rest of the graphics setup?

But I'd say the game in question does not, or fails to, set the 1280x720 mode. This *could* be because you're not using the outputs native resolution itfp.
So set it yourself before running the game and unset it afterwards.

Yep, you're correct.

So, for games like those, they allow you to set up a command line before it runs.
I placed

-displaymode=1

which forces the game to run in full-screen windowed mode.
You can decide to play with that option, or with that option enabled temporarily, you can change your graphic and resolutions setting to what matches your PC.

*Edit* Thank you Enki for your help!
