The Wine Staging team has put out their 2.11 release and it comes with some interesting fixes. They've done some adjustments to help run GTA 5 and The Witcher 3.
As a reminder: Wine Staging is the testing area for future features and fixes to make it into the normal Wine development releases and then eventually a stable Wine build.
First up, some highlights of the release:
As for the game fixes: The Witcher 3 should now display intro videos and contain less graphical glitches to give a more complete experience. GTA 5 no longer needs "-GPUCount 1" as parameter or to change the PCI IDs to run the game on a NVIDIA graphic card. They've also fixed some input issues in GTA 5.
They also put in a fix for the remaining mouse issues in Unity engine games.
See their release notes here. Sounds like a pretty fun release. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Anyone got GTA 5 running with this?
I can only log in the Social club and the game won't start.
Hopefully this game starts with this Wine.

Well, I'm still not buying either until they:
- Drop to 75% discount or more.
- Release for Linux (yes, I know this is very low chance) and then I'd buy at full price.
Good that WINE offers so much potential for Windows-only games working on Linux. Keep up the hard work, WINE devs ;)

In staging patches appears some interesting patches by Nils Kuhnhenn, however dont approved by sebastian lackner
This is some information about this patches:
And this related csmt

This is some information about this patches:
QuoteImproves heap allocation performance by balancing free lists and improving common bottlenecks.
Fixes Guild Wars 2 FPS decrease when it is running for a longer period of time and can almost double the FPS in big fights (World Bosses, WvW, etc...) by reducing the overhead of the memory allocator from ~30% CPU time to ~2%.
Don't use the "ntdll-Heap_FreeLists" patch from wine-staging when using this one (they have conflicting changes).
Author: Nils Kuhnhenn
And this related csmt
QuoteRequires: CSMT patches.
Can reduce CPU usage when using the CSMT patchset by up to 50% or sometimes even more.
Whether this translates into an FPS increase or an improvement in responsiveness depends on your OS and hardware (and game).

Sounds to me like the perfect time to install The Witcher 3 and give it a go. These are brilliant news! Hopefully no need to compile Wine or adding more extra patches, never manage to do it properly xD
