Wine 2.20 released with more Direct3D work and more fixes

By Liam Dawe - 31 October 2017 at 7:38 pm UTC | Views: 19,629

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.

Yeah, it is funny that some games does not run correctly in Windows (10), but damn good in Wine

And curiously wine stay avalaible for windows (unnoficially) For run older games

In my case like older games than newer and linux have all in one system: many older games, many emulators, better os, better hard drive manage (with windows loss various hard drives), very customizable, etc....

Quoting: LeopardI don't understand that , why would anyone wants to run Windows version of Rpcs3 in Wine when native Linux version is also available?
because on Radeon with Gallium Nine, DirectX 9 is native.

Rpcs3 is a PS3 emulator which uses OpenGL and Vulkan.

There is no connection at all.

you are right!! sorry my mistake. But there are other emulators that only support DirectX 9 whereas running them on Wine makes sense.

Quoting: GuestHey people ! Do you get your gamepad properly recognized in WINE apps (incl. Steam) ? I have a Logitech 310 (360-like) that works like a charm under Linux, is detected by the wine control panel, but I couldn't get it to work under Steam under Wine.

I use in wine Dumb xinput Emulator with SteamController. https://github.com/kozec/dumbxinputemu
Is need copy some xinput ddls to game executable, it works for me (standalone game - nonSteam), but I don't have Steam in wine.

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.

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.
