The Wine Development Release 1.7.44 Is Now Available
30 May 2015 at 1:04 pm UTC

Quoting: Avehicle7887
Quoting: shigutsowhy is the oficial wine ubuntu ppa abandoned? the newest version there is 1.7.38... am I missing something? :(

If you use Wine for gaming then I suggest Wine-Staging, it's updated more frequently and games run better due to the CSMT feature: https://launchpad.net/~pipelight/+archive/ubuntu/stable/+packages

Staging maybe good idea if you dont send bugs or other related problems to wine because wine staging is patched version*

Quote*wine dont support any wine patched version

However in good things wine staging have sebastian lackner and many patches of him have approved but others no, but in burnout online case is solved thanks sebastian patch is approved and mark harmstone contributed with various things related with wine sound (wine speaker configuration in wine vanilla stay is him contribution)

In other cases appears some interesing related with sonic generations, in this game appears characters now but fix is bit strange but works

View video on youtube.com

For fix works you must need directly in game (DONT open config application*)

*If you need open config app must be secure close application and wine once save game config preferences

Other case have relation with bug (wine performance drop tested in 3DMark 2000)

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35655

* wine-1.7.13 ~ 18'735 marks
* wine-1.7.27 ~ 15'657 marks


In my test with 3DMark 2000 (used in this bug)

In this wine version most performance related issues remains equal in most games however in ubisoft titles (uplay titles) appears interesting problem have relation with uplay client

Main problem stay in new process at open uplay client named uplaywebcore.exe and impact seriously performance (in my machine consume around 20 to 25% of cpu use)

In this video (Assassins Creed Brotherhood Multiplayer) can observe performance with uplaywebcore activated (around minute 2:06 to minute 4:55) and how up performance with is desactivated (around minute 5:58 to 7:35)

View video on youtube.com

In this video (Assassins Creed Brotherhood Singleplayer) can observe performance with uplaywebcore activated (around minute 2:30 to minute 3:55) and how up performance with is desactivated (around minute 7:50 to 9:25)

View video on youtube.com

In this video (Assassins Creed Revelations Singleplayer) can observe performance with uplaywebcore activated (around minute 1:50 to minute 4:20) and how up performance with is desactivated (around minute 6:15 to 9:18)
