The Wine developers have officially released Wine 2.20, the latest development build which adds in some new features.
Here's the highlights:
- Improved event support in MSHTML.
- Preloader support on ARM64.
- Interpolation modes in Direct3D.
- Improved metafile support in GdiPlus.
- Initial version of Kerberos5 Authentication Package.
- OLE clipboard cache improvements.
They also noted that 15 bugs have been marked as fixed. I should note though, that their list of bugs fixed in each release announcement isn't necessarily bugs fixed by this release. It's confusing, since the title of the bugs fixed section is (in this example) "Bugs fixed in 2.20 (total 15):", but they're often marking off older bugs.
Of the bug fixes they noted, F.E.A.R and Condemned: Criminal Origins had no audio which was fixed from Wine 2.19. Also The Witcher 3, Firewatch, The Solus Project and Banished all required "dcl_input_ps support", which was also fixed from Wine 2.19.
Specifically in this 2.20 release, an issue with Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice where the player character is severely distorted was fixed.
Quoting: Sputnik_tr_02Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoAnyone know if Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth work properly?I have played it 4-5 months ago with wine-staging, though i don't remember witch version it was. It run perfect, only problem i had was imput lag but that was probably because of my system not wine, i am using an optimus laptop with bumblebee. So it should work i reckon.
The GOG edition is different than the steam one...
I understand they fixed the bugs and they patched it for new Windows distros.
Quoting: ShmerlQuoting: KimyrielleHas anyone tried to run ESO or Fallout 4 with the newer WINE releases?
I was planning to play Fallout: New Vegas sometime in the future (got in on GOG sale). I've heard it's the best of the newer Fallout games.
F:NV works like a charm under WINE (you must use CSMT for decent performance). That said, I found the game boring because of Obsidian way of doing games: they throw at you a billion moral choices like everything in the game world depends on you. That seems interesting the first times you do it, but later it becomes irritating, it too much anxiety for me. And I still can get way everyone in the game world wants to kill me.
The game is a lot more in the vein of the original Fallout. If you played them, you know what to expect: strange situations and encounters, seldom on the edge situations. Forget the more FPS style that Fallout 3 had (in fact, to me Fallout 3 is a FPS with RPG elements).

Well, that's exactly what I expect from Obsidian - a proper RPG, not an "FPS with RPG elements" :) It's a good thing in my books.

Playing ESO now on WINE 2.19 staging.
With AMD R9 290x and works pretty flawless.
Just tried it with 2.19 staging. The launcher works just fine, but the game doesn't start up (hangs on a black screen). Did you install any other components to get it to run?

Forgot to mention to put d3dcompiler_47.dll in with game exe file.

It works fine here, although I've tested with 2.0-staging/2.10-staging... might be a regression (or perhaps there's just something the game doesn't like about your system)? I made a wrapper for it
