Wine 2.0-rc5 release, moving towards a final stable version

One advantage to Wine, is that if a game doesn't have cross-platform multiplayer, running it in Wine would mean you could play with Windows friends. One simple example, but Wine will always have its uses.

Quoting: imdan12Waiting to run Overwatch on Wine.Please!!!!Fixing any game is Wine can help other games, just because it has a native port doesn't mean it won't be worked on in Wine.
Why is there Civilization V if it has a native port?

Page updated again, I've moved the "(Online)" bit out of the directory. Anyone who is online will be shown at the top in a box by itself.

Okay I've updated the page with some URL sanity checks. It will check for missing www. and https:// and add them in if missing.
I have updated the UserCP to check if people miss the actual Youtube URL and tell them to do it properly.
This should stop a lot of broken links for the weird combinations everyone has been using.

Quoting: GuestMy question is why does Valve work on Nouveau when almost everybody uses the blob and there is basically no hope of getting decent performance with Nouveau on recent cards?Actually, I believe this was sent for review just before he joined Valve.

Quoting: salamanderrakeBut is there any 2D/3D acceleration with the nouveau drivers yet?Yes for a number of cards, but not for newer cards as noted. It depends on what card.

Quoting: pete910Well, not really. As soon as the re-clocking comes to bring up performance, they then already have the OpenGL needed for some recent games.Quoting: liamdaweKinda what I was getting at, I mean how much testing could be done on Maxwell/Pascal GPU'sQuoting: pete910Interesting to see pascal on this :huh:As I've explained on reddit though, having the OpenGL feature set is one thing, having re-clocking (for performance) and other card features are entirely different things.
There effectively useless on the oss driver for the most part.
