Wine Staging 2.17 is out with more Direct3D11 features fixing issues in The Witcher 3, Overwatch and more

So, I am very pumped about the progress wine staging has been making towards getting Witcher 3 into a playable shape.

We have a dedicated thread here about TW3 in Wine.

The black surface bug is a long known issue. You can see them listed here.

To everyone: if you found some bug like missing textures or distortions on Skellige monsters and such, please report it. Not everyone progressed that far in the game. Without reporting them, developers won't know it's there necessarily. So don't expect it to automagically get fixed in such case.

Maybe they silently removed it due to it being hacked. I don't see it mentioned on the steam age anymore either. But from the Wine support request it was pretty clear that they had no idea how to make that work in wine because Denuvo thinks it's been tampered with when running on wine.

Nier: Autotomato still has Denuvo on it, and it still works in Wine. Denuvo works in Wine now:

• Denuvo v1: Mad Max


• Denuvo v2: ABZU, Just Cause 3, Rise of the Tomb Raider


• Denuvo v3: Titanfall 2


• Denuvo v4: Nier: Autotomato, Prey (2017)


• Denuvo v4.5: Sonic Mania, Life is Strange: Before the Storm (although it's Unity so Denuvo didn't really work in the first place)

edit: fixed because the GoL editor decided to randomly submit it when I was in the middle of typing this comment.

That is very interesting and significant news.

Madmax and JC3 have been both cracked
most of the Denuvo stuff gets cracked under 1-4 weeks now ,
it seems like a waste of money they could be paying programmers
to support vulkan / opengl / openal / sdl2 / dedicated servers / server browser / coop
instead of more forms of drm that impact legit customers

Looks well:

Awesome work the guys at wine are doing DX9 feature complete and DX11 heading that way too. Putting aside the should you play games on wine argument, It is a hell of an achievement.

I would love to see wine integrated in Linux steam

So you could download dx9c games and run the games in wine session
Similar to the dosbox wrapper games under windows steam

That would be a neat feature but unlikely due to licensing, your best bet would be to run lutris which pretty much does what you are talking about.

Ive given Lutris a go
fails to install anything and just hangs

Not really having much luck with Lutris or SAMBA or DNLA streaming
