I remember that the official PPA used to get updates pretty fast, not like two and a half months without updates... but oh well, I guess I'll have to check this PPA out.

Thanks!

If you use Wine for gaming then I suggest Wine-Staging, it's updated more frequently and games run better due to the CSMT feature: https://launchpad.net/~pipelight/+archive/ubuntu/stable/+packages

Staging maybe good idea if you dont send bugs or other related problems to wine because wine staging is patched version*

*wine dont support any wine patched version

However in good things wine staging have sebastian lackner and many patches of him have approved but others no, but in burnout online case is solved thanks sebastian patch is approved and mark harmstone contributed with various things related with wine sound (wine speaker configuration in wine vanilla stay is him contribution)

With PlayOnLinux you can download easily the latest Wine version, vannila and staging, in 32 or 64 bits. You can even associate different WIne version for your WIndows apps.

Also good idea too and as you said allows use different wine versions, however you dont send bugs or other related problems to wine because playonlinux (playonlinux for them count as wine patched version for now) results dont acccepted by wine

However if you use playonlinux, gamersonlinux have many usefull guides for many games

I have to say I'm impressed what wine can do this days. I have finished Witcher 1 Enhanced Edition on wine 1.7.x (with some minor bugs) and it was very smooth. Now I'm playing DIRT 3 and it works very well too. Some time ago I was playing Diablo 3, and quality was also very good.

I know that this is not Steam related topic, but I want to write small off-topic sentences. I have to say that in my opinion Valve should use PlayOnLinux to wrap some games that work very good on different wine versions and use PlayOnLinux in native steam client with some special marker (like SteamOS logo with small wine cup part for example). From my point of view if it would be seamless for the user but it would make "porting" of some titles to simpler, then why not to use this opportunity. Because let's be honest - some older games can have higher hardware requirements than on Windows and it will still be ok - right now Valve's main goal should be to create big library of big titles. Second step would be to convince big companies to use Vulkan API. It would convince more users to switch to Linux - and it would make this market more attractive to big companies.

Anyway, going back to wine - I'm waiting for DX10 support. This would make giant step forward. But having DX9 support with DX12 on the road makes wine not useable for newer titles. Hope guys from Wine development team will find a solution for DX10 and maybe even DX11 at some day.

And last thing - @mrdeathjr I am impressed with Your work. Whenever I wonder how does the game work on the wine I hope I will find Your movie on the Youtube. Hope You will continue this great work.

Yeah actually wine must be capable runs many games (DX9 and before have many titles) and improve day by day

In my case stay waiting CSMT in oficial branch, wine 1.8 when give huge improvements compared to 1.6

DX10 and others maybe in long term, mainwhile some titles begins appear in native form (eon ports included)

At least thanks, main objective of channel is give some idea about wine compatibility and some idea about time gameplay and things related with this (bugs, config tricks and others depending title)
