The latest Wine development release is now available and it looks like quite a quiet one for us, nothing truly major. It does have some new features and some notable bug fixes for games.
Major new features in Wine 2.12 are:
They also noted 9 bugs were fixed in games like Deus Ex: Human Revolution which had severe graphical glitches. They also fixed Lost Horizon crashing in chapter 2 and more.
The past few releases seem to have them hammering out more Android support, so hopefully when that's done we will see more desktop focus again.
I imagine the Wine Staging build will be out within a few days, which is generally a bit more interesting at the moment.

Józef Kucia took a break, so there were no DX11 support improvements. I hope he is still working for Codeweavers.

I've fully played through both of those games in Wine before on my old system (i7-2600k, GTX 750Ti with proprietary drivers, Wine Staging with CSMT enabled) without any apparent stability issues (I also used ThirteenAG's widescreen fixes the last time I played them)... Max Payne had some odd stuttering in certain areas though and I had to disable the "Pixel Shader Skins" option in MP2 to work around the lighting issue. Aside from that both were pretty much install + play.

Normally staging have other patchs compared with vanilla
