Developer Alexandre Julliard announced the release of Wine 9.19, the Windows compatibility layer that allows thousands of apps and games to run on Linux.

The main changes of this release are:

  • Character tables updates to Unicode 16.0.0.
  • Better window positioning in the Wayland driver.
  • More support for network sessions in DirectPlay.
  • Support for plug&play device change notifications.
  • Various bug fixes.

11 bugs were noted as solved from this release across various expected Windows behaviour, along with some regressions being fixed.

Is there a particular bug or feature you're waiting on being sorted in Wine?

I'm just blatantly gonna copy Linux_Rocks shtick:



As for Wine development, I'm mostly looking forward to Wayland support being finished and made default, and the progress of winesync.

I wonder if Wine will ever recognize the correct locale for non-english apps.. People keep telling me it's not Wine's job to do so but Windows does it somehow no problem.

Also waiting for generally better Wayland support because old XWayland games set the fullscreen resolution incorrectly.

Wine devs seems hard working on wayland however needs more time

Other issue and on this stay very interested is how Mike Blumenkrantz and Joshua Ashton work can improve lacking things on wayland

Another thing is winesync aka NTSync but in kernel 6.12 dont stay maybe for kernel 6.13 or 6.14, in both cases this seems appear in someplace of 2025

Almost forget in my case since wine 9.17 (new wow64) trials in sky dont begin but now with 9.19 stay working again







cinematics work too, begin cinematic (this cinematic stay in avi)



i stay using remi bernon ffmpeg implementation



another thing i update ffmpeg from:

https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuhandbook1/+archive/ubuntu/ffmpeg7

and run newer titles like this without esync (esync dont seem stay in wine new wow64 aka ./configure --enable-archs=i386,x86_64)

That's a big one that affects my use case. I'm sure there can be more, but nothing else bothered me so far.

I wonder if this can be locale specific, aka in that there is a problem with some locales, because when running applications in Wine apps picks up that my Linux is configured in Swedish with zero issues (or I'm mistaken about what the issue is).

It's locale and app specific, just like 90% of all locale problems, locales are like user side drivers. There are hundreds competing ones, the only way to test them is to use them and the slightest failure is catastrophic.
