Wine 2.2 released with even more Shader Model 5 instructions and work towards Direct3D command stream

Cool then I could tryout Venom Codename: Outbreak now on the ThinkPad I've updated with Coreboot two days ago - hope the harddisk arrives today, so I can install the basics and then running all on Trisquel. :D

Quoting: lucinosIn my case wine was pretty unimportant.

I must say that I am pleased we have all kind of users on this page - people who did not use Wine at all, people who used if from time to time and people who use it very often.
Personally I very often failed while trying to play a game that I used to love. But also - without a Wine I wouldn't be able to finish the Witcher or DIRT 3: Complete Edition.
What's more - thanks to Wine I received Linux version of the game that I love - Knights & Merchants.
And even if there are minor issues while playing Wine games, as I said I see Wine as very important project.
Of course Wine is not only about games, but for us, gamers, it is crucial to be up-to-date with games, that did not receive Linux versions. And when the day comes, that Wine will support DX11 in a way it will run Witcher 3, GTA V or Fallout 4 - I'm confident that many users will actually be very happy.

What's more as I said in previous post in this thread - I would love to have Wine ports of games that are ranked from platinum to silver available on Steam. The most important gain of using Steam is that you have all your games in one place and you don't have to install all the dependencies of the game - you just download the game and play it. And configuring Wine prefix is the biggest dissadvantage of Wine.
If Valve would somehow reword publishers that release titles as Wine ports if they are platinium/gold/silver and mark them as Wine / Beta versions, it would be brilliant. Steam OS would have bigger library, publishers would be reworded, Linux gamers would have bigger library, players on Windows will see that SteamOS expands.
Of course it would have disadvantage (and that's something that makes this whole wish unrealistic) - some of the titles would have serious issues, and people who would like to play those games would start the shitstorm - why the released game does not work or works partially.

Anyway, I wish myself and all you guys a great state of Wine.

I will start take Wine seriously when they implement proper X-input support and XBOX 360 controller will work in the games. Not only in the wine joystick preferences..

In this wine version need for speed most wanted allow change settings in game without crash

Another interesting title is codename outbreak, in this wine version works (in test cinematics dont, cinematics folder must be renamed)

However first chapter is possible played but when try second chapter appears many graphic bugs

While not a rating system I find play on linux list more useful than wines system also while using this site http://www.gamersonlinux.com/forum/forums/guides.20/ nearly all of the guides have little to no performance issues so if search for a game and there is a guide for pol chances are it will play just fine.

Quoting: qptain NemoMore closely to the topic of the article, I wish someone would provide "specific games that work now" / "games that work better now" lists along with those updates. I know compiling those is actual work that somebody would have to do but it'd be very very neat to have them.

Was that aimed at me or the Wine guys?

Either or anyone, really! I don't think it matters much who does it. I just know I sure would love to see that info on GOL along with the updates. I would find it informative and encouraging.

mrdeathjr, thanks for immediately delivering! :D

Wine is good,it lets u play windows games....you are still a B category citizen, though.

Why dont you just use xbox 360 driver map the controller with a profile then just drop the files in which ever game you are trying to run and what do you know full compatibility with any game that needs a controller.

I know not a pc version but can get round that using the ps2 emulator which runs without any glitches and on a game that old you cant really spoil the graphics.

Quoting: LeopardIs there anyone knows how can we enable Gallium under native wine?Custom wine version is really needed?

You need Padoka PPA if using Ubuntu based distro. https://launchpad.net/~paulo-miguel-dias/+archive/ubuntu/mesa
