As far as I know, many people complained about microsoft's latest OS entry lack of compatibility with very old game.

Quoting: GuestI play World of Warcraft with DXVK and Lutris and it's really awesome the FPS i get its night and day thx to the maker of DXVK, really appreciated.

It's also worth mentioning that that (in world of warcraft) wine-staging results in many graphical glitches, while DXVK is bug free.

I added it in my steam follow list. Looks promising, but I tend to refrain myself to buy early access games.
Don't get me wrong, sometimes early access is done right, moreover it's a good way to help small development studio; But I've seen many games stucked in early access and never finished. It kinda feels like gambling.
