You don't really.

One of the things that still depends on 2.21, staging or otherwise, are the galllium nine patches. But I'm sure they will be updated in time.

In both cases performance improve so much (nvenc used in all cases), around 20 to 25fps in each game

Quoting: knroSlightly off-topic here.. why should I use wine-2.x staging when Wine 3.3 is out?

You should not be using Wine staging 2.x. That project is dead.

Quoting: GuestI've not found much as a performance gain using PBA, well none at all really

Tried Burnout Paradise on PBA 3.3 staging and performance seems worse, or at the very least the same

Am I doing anything wrong here? Any particular winetricks I need to install for example?

It all depends on the game and your hardware.

here's a good explanation in which cases this patchset helps: https://comminos.com/posts/2018-02-21-wined3d-profiling.html
