Another Wine development release is now available! Just today Wine 2.13 has released and features a few noteworthy changes.

Major changes:

Unicode data updated to Unicode 10.0.0.
Nicer looking default mouse cursors.
Persistent connections support in WinHTTP.
Message Framing protocol support in WebServices.
Improved metafile support in GdiPlus.
Debug registers support in x86-64 exception handling.
Anti-aliasing improvements in DirectWrite.
Various bug fixes.

They fixed 33 mentioned bugs in games like Skylanders Spyro's Adventure, Ion Assault, The Witcher 3 and more. Overall it looks like a pretty decent release.

I'm always fascinated with Wine development, chasing that ever-moving target, but they're doing a fantastic job. I would be surprised if in 2-3 years time if most DX9 games didn't have good to excellent support, at the current rate of Wine development. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

If my memory serves me, The Metro games on Linux is a different story for each game.

For one game they weren't provided with a Linux version, while for the other they did receive it but didn't deem it good enough for release and they didn't give any details regarding the nature of the issues.
