and now with Wine 1.7.14 + nvidia 334.21

View video on youtube.com


lastest nvidia driver 334.21 on my case show considerable performance boost, for example on assasins creed brotherhood on multiplayer (this mode runs very slow)


This progression is on lastest wine + lastest nvidia drivers

The list of bug report numbers in these Wine news is not very useful, it’s a pain to hover every one to see what it’s about. Much better to simply point at the official announcement that has a proper bugs list!
Lol true. I get about 3 in and give up. Easier to just copy the winehq buglist imo.

I would like to ask for a vote on bug list format:
a. Remove the bug list
b. Let it stay the same
c. Copy the look from the announcement
d. Start a thread on the forum and take this discussion there

Vote by writing choices from the most desirable to the least.
Example:
c
d
a
b

I will make the final choice, but I will pretty much go with the the most popular choice if enough votes were cast.
Voting will be counted in debian-ctte way. Vote is open till the next release of Wine.
