Sounds like this Wine Staging release is a very interesting one, as it comes with improved support for anti-cheat and DRM.
Release highlights:
About the improved support for anti-cheat and DRM:
It also pulls in the various updates from the main Wine 2.9 release. See the full Wine Staging 2.9 release notes here.
Amazing progress as always from the Wine team. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.
Release highlights:
- Support for opening files through NT device paths.
- Improved fake dll generation.
- Support for pipeline statistics in d3d11.
- Improved support for querying section names.
- Fixes for multiple regressions.
- Various smaller bug fixes.
About the improved support for anti-cheat and DRM:
QuoteWine Staging 2.9 continues to improve the compatibility with anti-cheat and DRM modules. The generated fake DLLs do no longer trigger stub errors when an application manually loads them (as in the 2.8 release), but instead they now forward the call to the correct builtin implementation. The general memory layout of the builtin ELF/Mach-O executables has also been changed to be more consistent with regular PE files. Besides those bigger chances, there are many smaller improvements, including bug fixes for the Unreal Engine 4 and Chrome.

Paladins and Ubisoft DRM are not fixed in this release. If there is better anti-cheat support in this version, it must be somewhere else. On the other hand, I did manage to start up Batman Arkham Knight which is supposedly still protected by Denuvo, didn't get to the in-game menu but getting to the intro videos is a start.

Are you referring to the 'connection lost' error on UPlay?

While there are still some connectivity issues with UPlay, it works much better than it used to (on Wine Staging only). I'm referring to the actual Ubisoft DRM used in some of their games. For example, to play Assassin's Creed 2, you have to start UPlay in offline mode, then completely disconnect from the internet then start the game. Otherwise the game will just crash at the Ubisoft logo.

I played through FFIX with Wine version 2.0 with no graphical issues. Sometimes the sound started crackling but that can be solved by restarting.
In my case begins work since 2.1 without major issues and stable

I can't even launch the game or the launcher. Have tried with and without CSMT, changing the main OS on winecfg, etc. Will try to follow mrdeathjr youtube video this week :) (Gracias!)
