Quoting: mrdeathjrCuriously lego harry potter dont work in your case with wine 2.x ?, in my case works last time with wine 2.4
Interesting indeed. In my case I have graphical anomalies and the controller stopped working with WINE 2.x. With WINE 1.9.x I don't have these problems.
Sadly i use only keyboard for play and wine in lastest months have many changes in xinput area (this can be affect gamepads)

But in graphics works ok in my case

Especially for gaming, simply for the fact that most games produced for PC are still only available and produced for Windows. I’d say that for someone who always wants to play the latest and greatest titles on PC Windows still is the operating system of choice.

But really, even though I’m an avid and long-term Linux user I find the whole operating system discussion pretty tiresome. I think there are different operating systems for different needs and tastes and everyone should just choose the system that he or she likes the most and suits his or her needs best.

On topic: I think WINE is a great piece of software that has come a long way but like others I’ve made quite different experiences with it. Some games work out of the box, others have significant problems or don’t work at all or stop working after an update; and that can be quite frustrating.

I have to admit though that I never dived into the depth of WINE configuration. I can’t be bothered to fiddle around with all its different configurations and settings just to make a game work. Either a game runs out of the box or with only little intervention or I leave it be. I still keep an old pre-2.X WINE version around to be able to play LEGO Harry Potter properly. :-)
Sadly windows give money to devs

In my case most games works (i use retrogaming) however as your said some updates can be trouble

Wine Staging 2.14 officially released, more performance fixes and a basic UAC implementation
10 Aug 2017 at 11:22 am UTC

Quoting: SpykerWhile DX11 support is making progress, I still have some bugs and issues with older games like Lord of Shadow 2.

WineHQ is advertising "platinum" support for this game, IMHO it's not the case even with this latest staging release.
Last time i test lords of shadow 2 runs stable in my case
