Wine 2.10 released, nothing massive this time around
12 Jun 2017 at 1:07 pm UTC Likes: 1

Quoting: buenaventuraWhat does Staging mean, really? I've interpreted it as similar to "experimental" or some such.
As other said case legluondunet give this properties

However in my case i said shows this in practical terms

-Run games needs 1D textures case need for speed most wanted 2012

-Run games needs deffered context case shantae and pirates curse or mighty switch force

-Use uplay in online mode

-Use origin win 7 version

And other things

In this wine version have some fixes case star wars the force unleashed 2, in this game sometimes dont render correctly character eyes and sometimes crash (in last test) dont possible finish 1st chapter without crashes

View video on youtube.com

Another interesting title is prototype, in before wine versions show crashes sometimes and audio problems

Without forget character render problem (running and walking animations)

In this wine version solve stability problem, audio problem and character render problem (CSMT=1* is required)

View video on youtube.com

*Also CSMT=1 still needed for solve graphic bugs, specially flickering related case: duke nuke forever, metal gear rising, bayonetta, vanquish, im alive, senran kagura shinovi versus, resident evil 6 and possible others, without forget give some boost in some games

2 Jun 2017 at 12:21 pm UTC

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoDo Fallout 3 and Fallout: New vegas work fine with Wine?

I ask that because they were just released on GOG.
In my last test with wine 2.8 fallout 3 improve seriously (in wine appdb says since wine 2.6 improve) still using mods

In this gameplay runs smoothly and stable around 3 hours

Quoting: Guest
Quoting: ArehandoroStill can't play Final Fantasy IX :/ Keep receiving lots of d3d errors.
I played through FFIX with Wine version 2.0 with no graphical issues. Sometimes the sound started crackling but that can be solved by restarting.
In my case begins work since 2.1 without major issues and stable
