The latest Wine Staging build 2.15 is now available and it brings in some more Direct3D 11 improvements.

Usual reminder: Wine Staging is the testing area for features and patches to eventually make their way into the main Wine development builds and later stable releases.

Here's what they added in:

  • Support for dual source blending and arbitrary viewports in d3d11.
  • JPEG decoder bug fixes and support for converting CMYK images in windowscodecs.
  • Support for 192/256 bit AES encryption and key import/export in bcrypt.
  • Various smaller enhancements and bug fixes.

As usual, they also have all the improvements from the main Wine 2.15 development build.

Wine development is rapid, so hopefully it won't be long before more titles keeping people on Windows will work nicely under Wine on Linux.

[...] Vineyard. [...]

Hm seems to be crashing for me on launch; [...]
File "/usr/bin/vineyard-preferences", line 177, in __init__
icon = icon_theme.load_icon(page[1], height, gtk.ICON_LOOKUP_USE_BUILTIN)
glib.GError: Icon 'harddrive' not present in theme

How did you install it? That code hasn't been in Vineyard for quite some time :/

Tried Shadow Warrior 2 recently on Wine, but whilst it runs quite smoothly there are still no floors!

I see that you commented on the "vineyard" package, so I'll assume that's the one you installed. I'd strongly recommend that you install "vineyard-git" instead, as the "vineyard" package (or at least the source it builds from) hasn't been updated in close to 8 years now.
