Wine continues to mature with Wine 3.0 RC6

By -

The big Wine 3.0 is inching ever closer with the release of the sixth release candidate today with bug fixes.

Since Wine is currently in a code-freeze, no new features are being pulled in so they can make the 3.0 release as stable as possible, which means it's not too exciting. Still, every software needs to go through a period of stability to ensure a solid foundation to continue improving features.

Here's what they noted as fixed:

  • 3864  RedMon v1.7/1.9 (Redirection Port Monitor) fails to install/run
  • 36441  joy.cpl crashes when PS4 Gamepad connected via Bluetooth
  • 38671  valgrind shows an uninitialized write in dlls/advapi32/tests/security.c (test_CreateDirectoryA)
  • 38799  RaidCall 7.x crashes when joining a group/trying to test sound
  • 40254  mshtml:script test regression (timeout)
  • 40653  Castle of Illusion start on black screen and crash
  • 42588  Vietcong - graphics glitches since Wine 2.1
  • 43308  valgrind shows an uninitialized write in dlls/advapi32/tests/security.c (test_AddMandatoryAce)
  • 43309  valgrind shows an uninitialized write in dlls/advapi32/tests/security.c (test_token_security_descriptor)
  • 43310  valgrind shows several definite leaks in dlls/advapi32/tests/security.c
  • 43654  Arx Fatalis: Candlelight / Porch light leaks through the walls
  • 44175  stack corruption and crash with OpenSSH port
  • 44286  Regression: Default value in dropdown list is no longer select
  • 44332  Powerpoint 2007/2010 slideshow encounters an "unexpected error" trying to move past first slide

I still expected the main Wine 3.0 release to be this month.

Quoting: nadrolinuxGlad to hear that info :) Do you use 32 or 64 bit wineprefix?

Did you installed additional libraries like d3dx9 etc?

Yes, my hardware and software differ a lot.

I have Radeon RX580 (mesa-git) and Ubuntu 17.10, however I think that a problem is related to wine configuration.

I use 64 bit wineprefix without additional libraries.

Hi

I can test risen 3 with wine 3.0-rc6 and still works

Respect prefix my main prefix is 32bit only (I use risen 3 standard DX9), i have another for 64bit apps but this game is 32bit (enhanced edition is different)

Thanks for information. I tried to play Risen 3 Enhanced Edition, thats why I choosed 64 bit wineprefix. It looks like a standard version of Risen 3 works good, however EE not.

Yeah enhanced edition is DX11 and 64bit but last time try this game dont run

However for this title type (DX11 - 64bit) staging is highly recommended
