Mirror’s Edge is still running at ~15 FPS even with Physx disabled and all settings on low.

In Burnout Paradise, the car drivers and motorcycle driver’s head are still missing + sometimes big artifacts in the junkyard (game still works great otherwise).

Both issues are also present in wine-staging 1.7.38.

You need to open bug report about those issues. Don't expect a fix without report.

Sometimes stating an obvious is needed. Filling a quality bug reports is very important to open source projects.

There is no drivers in cars in Burnout Paradise. That's why adding bikers was kind of strange. But, those are supposed to have heads.

Eh, strange :-| … I have more powerful hardware (i5 / GTX 660), same nvidia driver. I tried a few things again but it’s still slow. And the Steam overlay does not work so I can’t see the exact FPS.

Strange in my case overlay works since 1.7.38, nvidia drivers stay correctly installed (direct rendering stay enable???) something more in my case use xfce (before using kde but have fps loss, around 20 to 30% depending game)

However this situation can happen still using same wine, distribution, drivers and desktop enviroment
