You could say such a thing is pretty much true with many smartwatch chargers too as they come with similar charging designs (magnetic with pins exposed).

Good on Valve to include this in the documentation. In the watch manuals I came across I didn't see such a warning.

Wine 11.9 released with ARM64 improvements, initial support for system threads
21 May 2026 at 3:34 pm UTC

So eventually I discovered why some games stopped working for me since Wine 11.8

It's related to this: [link](bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59726)

Hopefully the fix will make it into the 11.10 release.

Can anyone try to run Legacy of Kain Defiance Remastered with this version?

In my case since 11.8 (and now 11.9 too), it's crashing on startup. Reverting to 11.7 works fine.

While this may sound alarming, it's nothing compared to the problems being found in Windows lately - (Link) [External Link]

It's good that they are being discovered and reported.

My RX 6800 (non xt), still going strong 5 years later. This is welcome news.

Did you encounter these issues only after updating to Wine 11.8? Asking so I can run further tests and file a bug report.

I think something broke in this Wine release. Guild Wars 1 launches but crashes randomly after about 20mins. Happened twice, reverted to Wine 11.7, works fine for hours. Didn't have the issue prior to 11.8.

This morning went to play Legacy of Kain Defiance Remastered - crashes on launch. Reverted to 11.7 and game works fine again. Both games are running into their own separate prefix.

I have other games but I only tried the 2 mentioned above.

Denuvo DRM reportedly fully cracked open, 2K apparently fights back with online checks

I'm probably going to get under fire for saying this but - the problem with Denuvo is that people keep buying games released with it. If a game has DRM, I will simply not buy it regardless of how shiny and modern it is. Logging into my account to download a game I paid for is the only check there's needed.

As for 2K DRM - LOL, it will eventually be bypassed. If they managed to break the steel wall of Denuvo, they will find a way to break the wooden one from 2K too.
