Wine Staging 2.14 has been officially released, mine updated yesterday but the release notes have only recently come out. It includes some pretty interesting changes.
Reminder: Wine Staging is the testing area for features to make it into future Wine development builds.
Here's their highlights:
Currently, Wine always reports full admin rights to all applications. It's not massively relevant to Wine, as it's not actually Windows, but they're doing this to ensure wider compatibility with applications. Some applications might not run, if they don't have the right permissions.
They also merged additional heap manager performance improvements. On top of the improvements made in the Wine 2.14 development build.
I look forward to seeing the usual videos showing what games now work better that we generally see in our comments, get to it guys. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

- Various smaller bug fixes.

Hey there,
has anyone tried Dragon Age Inquisition so far? I gonna test it this evening but my machine is a mess (fixed on fglrx) so if i run into problems it might be because of the machine.
Test results on winehq are old (latest with 2.0 rc6) and always garbage because of dx11 support.
Due to witcher 3 is about to work better and better I had the hope that dragon age will also work.
So if anyone is able to test it, it would be great :-)
Please note that you definetely need a 64bit Windows 7 prefix, otherwise you even cannot install the game via origin.

Mobility Radeon HD 5870
The 58 Series won't get over openGL 3.0 with radeon afaik. I tried it but it did not work unfortunately. Had matching Kernel and Mesa for getting openGL 4.5 (Tried in Ubuntu and Arch) but still got 3.0.
Damn old chip which, understandable, won't get support in the future.
Hopefully by the End of the year I'm able to buy a selfmade steam machine.
However until now I could not make Dragon Age work (Crashes after start wit 2.12 staging 64 bit on PoL)

If I remember correctly, emulating the 64bit floating point in shaders isn't impemented in mesa. Because it is required for OpenGL 4, there isn't OpenGL 4+ for older cards that don't have it implemented in hardware. This includes most of the older Radeons using the r600 mesa driver. However the 64bit floating point isn't being used anywhere, so you can force mesa to report higher OpenGL version with MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE enviroment variable. Atleast OpenGL 4.1 should be a safe override for Radeon 5xxx. There has been patches to add the fp64 emulation, but those have not been accepted yet.

While DX11 support is making progress, I still have some bugs and issues with older games like Lord of Shadow 2.
WineHQ is advertising "platinum" support for this game, IMHO it's not the case even with this latest staging release.
