Wine Staging 2.18 is out with fixes for Battle.net, Uplay & Origin also bugs fixed with Overwatch

Quoting: razing32Personally i am wondering if the new Pirahna Bytes game , ELEX , will work.
I kinda nuked windows off my PC and Laptop and that is one game I would love to play.

I finished all the Risen game under WINE, so I'm with you on their next game: I bet it will work right from day-1.

Quoting: mrdeathjrThis test will be make it with wine staging daily (give a idea about work), more part of this stay in staging + oficial patches added

Killer Instinct works but only in menus after this if entry in benchmark or arcade mode crash


Prey works good in sound and video, is stable in test


Hellblade Senua Sacrifice works but only until when go to island after this crash (have some errors related in some models), in some scene consume much gpu and break nvidia-smi power limit

Normally have my card with 52.50w as minimum power limit (minimum for my GTX 1050) but in before cited scene up to 60w

Dead Rising 1 DX11 shows characters in main menu and intro but after this game crash


Pac Man Championship 2 DX11 runs good in video and sound


^_^

What kind of program do you use for the video capture and FPS counting?

Quoting: TheSHEEEPThe one thing Wine truly needs is a good UI.

Perhaps you should try CodeWeavers CrossOver Linux. CodeWeavers it is company that is mainly responsible for wine development.

It is sad that company that develop wine is existing only because of... CrossOver Mac buyers.
I'm in minority that bought CrossOver Linux to support developers.

How does crossover actually works? I mean, is it a GUI for wine? Do I need to install wine separately? what version of wine does it use? Can Wine and crossover be installed at the same time?

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoWhat kind of program do you use for the video capture and FPS counting?

Hi in my case use ffmpeg

Actually stay using ffmpeg 3.3 (compiled) + cuda 9.0 (from nvidia run package) + last nvidia drivers actually 387.12 (nvidia run package)


Respect fps counter use wine in console with this option:

For wine vanilla 32bit apps

WINEDEBUG=-all,+fps wine nameapp.exe

For wine staging 32bit apps

WINEDEBUG=-all,+fps /opt/wine-staging/bin/wine nameapp.exe

For wine staging 64bit apps

WINEPREFIX='/home/linuxdesktopx86/.local/share/wineprefixes/Default-x64' WINEDEBUG=-all,+fps /opt/wine-staging/bin/wine64 nameapp.exe

Finally, uplay is fixed ... but now I see that the AC Chronicles games aren't working.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPMakes it indeed worthy to support them. I always wanted to try CrossOver, but the price pushed me away before.

It gets on sale sometimes.

Great, please buy in promotion. Better this than nothing...
But for me it is not about CrossOver Linux product itself... It is about support CodeWeavers/wine developers and to "send message" that Linux users thinking about them... In my opinion they deserve pay full price...

Another option is donate them via https://www.winehq.org/donate

CrossOver Linux is completely separate from wine prefixes, so you could use both.

Generally CrossOver is more stable. For example if they said that they support Microsoft Office 2013 - it should work very stable. In wine it is lottery - something that is working in version 2.17 - could be broken in 2.18, etc.

CrossOver is based on stable wine builds, so generally they are much older versions. Playing in The Witcher 3 or GTA5 - forget for now, but who knows... maybe in next stable version;)

Also users that bought CrossOver Linux could vote what app/game is important to them, so if you want play The Witcher 3 in wine (and in future versions of CrossOver) - you should vote for it:)

CrossOver has its own GUI where you could select supported app/game (for example MS Office 2013) and wizard will show you what to do (select .exe installer or something). Manual installation of "unknown" (not officially supported) software also is possible.
CrossOver also is using its own prefixes (bottles), so apps/games could be separated.

GW2 already works in WINE; unless the latest expansion has killed it! But a month ago it was just fine.

Yeah, it worked a couple years ago when I tried last actually. I was just listing off the games I'd likely rely on WINE for.

I see, thanks for the explanation. Will take it into consideration then :)

On a different topic, out of the box with this version of Wine I don't get any stuttering so far on The Witcher 3 and don't see any other major issues.

I was also able to install Origin and the first Mass Effect. Origin, however, thinks there is always an update to perform in new downloaded games. In order to play Origin must be forced closed and re-opened.

Mass Effect works out of the box as well but with no sound. I then went to winetricks and installed ogg, directmusic and directsound. Probably not all of them needed but these seemed to solve the issue.

Just Cause 2 finally starts :O
Menu works fine, when doing benchmark/starting the game it crashes because I was using wine-gaming-nine instead of wine-staging.
I'll wait until Manjaro gets the stable wine-staging package and then I try this game again.

For Mesa, you can use this freeze prevention patch.

So the wine fix for the freeze bug is not in yet?

No. The variant that I made (based on Samuel Pitoiset's Mesa patch) is a hack, not a proper fix. It injects an extra varying shader of none are detected. I suppose the proper fix would be to never end up in situation when there are zero varyings to begin with. Apparently Wine developers didn't figure out yet when it happens.
