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: ziabiceThe 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).

Well, that's exactly what I expect from Obsidian - a proper RPG, not an "FPS with RPG elements" :) It's a good thing in my books.

Quoting: KimyrielleHas anyone tried to run ESO or Fallout 4 with the newer WINE releases?

Playing ESO now on WINE 2.19 staging.
With AMD R9 290x and works pretty flawless.

Just tried it with 2.19 staging. The launcher works just fine, but the game doesn't start up (hangs on a black screen). Did you install any other components to get it to run?

It works fine here, although I've tested with 2.0-staging/2.10-staging... might be a regression (or perhaps there's just something the game doesn't like about your system)? I made a wrapper for it
