The Wine developers have officially released Wine 2.20, the latest development build which adds in some new features.
Here's the highlights:
- Improved event support in MSHTML.
- Preloader support on ARM64.
- Interpolation modes in Direct3D.
- Improved metafile support in GdiPlus.
- Initial version of Kerberos5 Authentication Package.
- OLE clipboard cache improvements.
They also noted that 15 bugs have been marked as fixed. I should note though, that their list of bugs fixed in each release announcement isn't necessarily bugs fixed by this release. It's confusing, since the title of the bugs fixed section is (in this example) "Bugs fixed in 2.20 (total 15):", but they're often marking off older bugs.
Of the bug fixes they noted, F.E.A.R and Condemned: Criminal Origins had no audio which was fixed from Wine 2.19. Also The Witcher 3, Firewatch, The Solus Project and Banished all required "dcl_input_ps support", which was also fixed from Wine 2.19.
Specifically in this 2.20 release, an issue with Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice where the player character is severely distorted was fixed.

Quoting: LeopardI don't understand that , why would anyone wants to run Windows version of Rpcs3 in Wine when native Linux version is also available?The goal of Wine is to perfectly translate the proprietary Windows code into code that can be used by Linux and macOS devices. This bug could also affect more then just Rpcs3, so they're patching it.

Rpcs3 is a PS3 emulator which uses OpenGL and Vulkan.
There is no connection at all.

It feels weird to me that as near as I can figure, the latest stable release is 3.0 but the latest development release is still 2.x. Wha?

In my case like older games than newer and linux have all in one system: many older games, many emulators, better os, better hard drive manage (with windows loss various hard drives), very customizable, etc....

you are right!! sorry my mistake. But there are other emulators that only support DirectX 9 whereas running them on Wine makes sense.
However in this time linux offer good selection of native of emulators

For dont need use emulators in wine (some exception case cemu but this use opengl 4.6 if stay avalaible, drivers 387.xx on nvidia cards)
Cemu 1.10f

Without forget emulation traditionally requires strong cpu (normally very high single thread performance)

Quoting: GuestHey people ! Do you get your gamepad properly recognized in WINE apps (incl. Steam) ? I have a Logitech 310 (360-like) that works like a charm under Linux, is detected by the wine control panel, but I couldn't get it to work under Steam under Wine.
I use in wine Dumb xinput Emulator with SteamController. https://github.com/kozec/dumbxinputemu
Is need copy some xinput ddls to game executable, it works for me (standalone game - nonSteam), but I don't have Steam in wine.

It run perfect, only problem i had was imput lag but that was probably because of my system not wine, i am using an optimus laptop with bumblebee. So it should work i reckon.

I was planning to play Fallout: New Vegas sometime in the future (got in on GOG sale). I've heard it's the best of the newer Fallout games.

The GOG edition is different than the steam one...
I understand they fixed the bugs and they patched it for new Windows distros.

F:NV works like a charm under WINE (you must use CSMT for decent performance). That said, I found the game boring because of Obsidian way of doing games: they throw at you a billion moral choices like everything in the game world depends on you. That seems interesting the first times you do it, but later it becomes irritating, it too much anxiety for me. And I still can get way everyone in the game world wants to kill me.
The game is a lot more in the vein of the original Fallout. If you played them, you know what to expect: strange situations and encounters, seldom on the edge situations. Forget the more FPS style that Fallout 3 had (in fact, to me Fallout 3 is a FPS with RPG elements).
