Sounds like this Wine Staging release is a very interesting one, as it comes with improved support for anti-cheat and DRM.

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.


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.
