I have no particular interest in incremental client, but people who have hundreds of games and use them often, can find it useful to install updates.

Quoting: scaineWhat's the problem, exactly? Wine isn't emulating windows directly, but it's emulating its system calls.
Exactly. In such sense Wine is an emulator of Windows.

Well you are playing a resource heavy game in a vm which is emulating dx11 (not fully) so yeah there are going to be performance hits i would say leave it six months to a year it will run as well as any other wine wrapped game.
No, performance is already good. I'm talking about missing features (shaders and such).
