The Wine team officially announced today the release of Wine 3.1 to kick off the start of another development cycle for what will eventually be Wine 4.0.
Here's the highlights:
- Kerberos authentication support.
- Window class redirection for Common Controls 6.
- Support for X11 ARGB visuals.
- DOSBox required for running DOS executables.
- Various bug fixes.
Interestingly, they're now requiring DOSBox. I'm not sure about the level of support it had before, but if DOSBox runs DOS games and applications better it might be better than reinventing the wheel for it. Will be interesting to see what people think to this change.
As for bug fixes, they noted 29 marked as fixed. These included issues with Doom (the newest one) although it seems that was actually fixed before Wine 3.0 according to the comments on the bug report, a fix for Grand Theft Auto V not launching and a black screen fix for it too. I remember reading in our comments before that someone had to keep doing ALT+Tab to get GTAV to work properly, which should no longer be needed. On top of that there's fixes for EverQuest, Magic: The Gathering Online should no longer have high CPU use when idle and more.

Quoting: WJMazepasGuys, it is normal to graphics on wine look different than on Windows? I tried GTA SA and it looked different
Define "normal". If you mean, "Common and not unexpected" then yeah, it's normal. If you mean "That's how it's supposed to be", then no, probably it's not normal.

This is what happens when only one person maintains a branch. A common problem for Linux projects like this.

Wine-Staging has more than one person working on it. Michael Müller is also part of the team.
Rebasing all the patches might take some time.

Hopefully there will be an update soon. I would like to play GTA V under Linux. The ALT+Enter Hack seems to work poorly with Nvidia cards. I haven't been able to do it yet. I always land on a black screen and only hear the music.
But it's good to know they finally fixed the problem.
EDIT: Actually, it's normal, because they had announced that the 2.21 will be the last staging package for the 2er Realese. But the 3.1 should appear again.

Yeah this is a main problem of many open source projects when 1 person make almost work case: nine - dxvk and others
If something happend to main developer, project could be have many chances be freezing, forgoten or in last situation closed
In this situation wine is better, because in graphics area have more people case: henri verbeet - jozef kucia - matteo bruni - paul gofman - stefan dosinger
However if something happend to jozef kucia practically d3d10/11 and vkd3d could be suffer same destiny
