​This wine version come with many changes some related screen management



other important change cited in phoronix forum is child window rendering*

https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/6467 [External Link]

*however in my case catherine still fucked in both ways: no cinematics - only white screen

also have some changes in control panel input app







also run some newer titles like this:







back to ffmpeg backend is needed add registry key

https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/6442 [External Link]

This introduces a new alternative FFmpeg-based implementation for the MF byte stream handlers, while keeping the current GStreamer-based as default.

The new implementation can be enabled by setting the DWORD value:

DisableGstByteStreamHandler = 1

in the HKCU\Software\Wine\MediaFoundation registry key.​


in my case mp4+mp3 magic still working (case atelier sophie - god eater resurrection - bully scholarship - onimusha 3 demon siege - ninja blade)



















mpeg (case melty blood act cadenza, resident evil 4 2005) work







and stay testing other titles (avi cinematics on enter the matrix for example)













but wmv (with wmapro audio) however still is a problem in my case

​This wine version solve a input bug present in constantine pc game (i test this game around more than 8 years) and keyboard input dont work but now finally work







however this dont solve other issues in game like: mouse view dont work correctly and some times crash in cinematics in my case

​something more for who use virtual desktop like me, wine add new command (without this command dont show start menu and taskbar)

before:

DXVK_HUD=devinfo,fps,version,api DXVK_FRAME_RATE=60 DXVK_LOG_LEVEL=none DXVK_CONFIG_FILE=/home/linuxdesktopx64/dxvk.conf WINEDEBUG=-all wine Appetizer.exe

now: 

DXVK_HUD=devinfo,fps,version,api DXVK_FRAME_RATE=60 DXVK_LOG_LEVEL=none DXVK_CONFIG_FILE=/home/linuxdesktopx64/dxvk.conf WINEDEBUG=-all wine explorer /desktop=shell,1024x768 Appetizer.exe

with this start menu and taskbar back to appear normally, however in my case appear another virtual desktop window but this is easily removed, kill first explorer.exe in wine task manager
