Wine 2.13 has been released with a few noteworthy changes, including fixes for The Witcher 3

Quoting: Ehvis

Quoting: stud68Anyone tried on Bioshock Remastered?

Just gave it a try on 2.12 staging and it didn't even start.

Thanks for trying.

Someone still uses this piece of shit ?!?
DirectX11 in 3-4 years, DirectX12 when Half-Life will release.
The best is for 64bits wineprefix ... dotnet and vcrun20xx dont work correctly so goodbye for 64bits games which used these components...

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoAbout wine 2.13, I tried the GOG version of Metro 2033 Redux and it doesn't work... with Wine Staging 2.12 the game load with no more than 30 fps and a choppy audio... After a moment, the screen of the game was filled with weird colors.. but the game menu looks fine.. I will try to take a pic.

It's weird that there is no linux version of this game on GOG when it has a port for linux on steam... that's not fair :(

Quoting: ziabiceAudio/video under WINE: people usually forget that WINE uses GStreamer for deconding, then you should install all the plugins (-good, -bad, -ugly in the Gstreamer naming) to have proper decoding, you have to do this for 32- and 64-bit.

Gstreamer is still optional; I don't have it enabled on my builds and audio decoding is fine, although there may be exceptions.

DirectX12 is easier, ironically, because Vulkan and DX12 is very similar in lot of things, including using same shader format.

Also DirectX12 is a subset, not replacement. DX11 is still relevant and to be frank, will stay as OpenGL 4.5 will stay go to API on Linux. Low level access will be important for engines, who will support Vulkan/Linux anyway.

I think that wine development is awesome, but I feel that is incomplete. In my opinion they must complete the controllers support before start with Dx11. Why Steam Controller don't have support (you must emulate xbox360 with sc-controller before, and don't work with all games)?

The force Feedback in wheels only works in a few games. I love simracing games, and would play Automobilista, Rfactor2 (and more) and Project Cars with wine perfectly. This games works fine with Wine, and the wheel works, but without FF support. I only know two games that works perfect with FFeedback: Life for Speed and Kart Racing Pro.

Quoting: ShmerlDX9 games actually mostly have very good support already. You probably meant DX11 ones?

Is Alan Wake 100% playable?
Last time I tried, I had problems with the audio in the cutscenes..

I've finished Alan Wake, it works, the audio problem I think is fixable by setting pulse to 44100 khz.
But liam is right, some games need to improve, last one I've played was Batman Arkham Origins while it was playable the performance was halved, on windows I got 120fps and on wine was 60fps, sometimes diping to 1fps. And that's with gallium drivers.

when I wrote "audio problems" I mean the lack of audio in the cutscenes... I think wine cannot demux properly the .bik files.

The thing was worse in Darksiders the last time I tried it; no cutscenes at all.

Hmmm, I don't remember the cutscenes not working audio wise on either game. I think I had to install a package for wine to play the videos that was it.

For me darksiders works flawlessly on gallium-nine, there is some weird lighting glitch on Alan wake that put me off. Might be just an AMD bug tho.

Not that weird saw a few months back an interview with gog when they released the gog version of Fallout 3 and NV that they could not support Linux because they did not have permission from Bethesda to sell the game on any platform apart from windows. It would seem if you want the DRM free version you have to get Deep Silver to agree a deal with CD project to put a linux port up. Also anyone remembers dead island when it came out Deep Silver were saying not there problem with bugs they blamed the porters etc etc

If my memory serves me, The Metro games on Linux is a different story for each game.

For one game they weren't provided with a Linux version, while for the other they did receive it but didn't deem it good enough for release and they didn't give any details regarding the nature of the issues.
