This wine version works with mangohud 0.8.2 released today in my case, test new dx_api option appear in upper left
in other thing in my case with wine 10.19 some titles dont start (previously working on wine 10.18) case f1 race stars, sonic all stars racing transformed back to work and plus bullet witch dont run in my case in several wine versions but now back to work (curiously dx_api option in dx11 title in my case appear like DX?)
bullet witch is a special case because cinematics stay in wmv3 with audio in wmapro (very problematic video format for playback in wine) in my case encode some cinematics with h264 magic (encode in h264+ audio in mp3)
other issue of this game stay related to audio, in my case need some dlls as native using winecfg however on new wow64, 32bit app profile stay in:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wow6432Node\Wine
and in my case appear like this:
Also before cited situation occur in some titles in my case like:
Red Faction Guerilla Steam Edition (d3d9 - xactengine3_2 - xaudio2_2) - Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing Transformed
