Wine 10.11 brings work towards NTSYNC support
1 Jul 2025 at 1:30 am UTC Likes: 2

Looks like these preparations are extensive enough that they disabled esync in Wine staging. So currently Wine staging has no esync and ntsync isn't ready fully yet. So if you rely on esync, stick to previous version of Wine for the time being. Hopefully this gap situation won't be too long and ntsync will be released in the next version (or at least sometime soon).

I didn't use any major mods, so that didn't impact me. The only one was stalker2 tweaks to get commands console, but that broke already a while ago. Is there any other mod that enables console?

Everespace 2 though is crashing on startup still with this Wine. Did anyone manage to run it?

UPDATE: Looks like it's crashing with vkd3d-proton but works with dxvk (DX11 mode). I'll report a bug.
