Wine 3.2 released with gamepad improvements and more Direct3D work

I wonder if Wine Staging is still a thing.

Looking foreward, I wonder if System Shock fix related to 4 player coop lan.

Is Wine Staging dead now?

In this wine version add csmt as default (must be disable depending app)

Add multisample textures but dont stay clear if inmutable storage stay ready according jozef kucia said

Xinput shows improvements (Aric Stewart work) but lack code but next wine stay very interesting

winebus.sys: map SDL GameControllers if requested


winebus.sys: Implement SDL Haptic for controller vibration

In other things quartz as native works better allow cinematics in fullscreen (virtual desktop mode tested) in before version are needed put as built in and need push in taskbar for game reentry and show cinematics

And in tests WINEDEBUG=-all,+fps works better for fps counter than steam fps overlay

Take with a wheelbarrow of salt.

IIUC a lot of staging was mainlined suchas CMST around 3.0.

wine staging maintainer is AFK for a while now and someone else was looking to step in to do his job.

Last wine staging was 2.2X.

For them asking staging situation in this topic find more information

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44406

This is some information posted today

There are enourmous amounts of changes from 2.x -> 3.x, so rebasing wine staging from last-known 2.21 -> 3.1 is a huge undertaking.

If staging should have stayed "alive" in its previous form, this would have been needed to be rebased each git-master i guess, cos the changes from 2.21 -> 3.1 (current dev) is very large.

Its a real shame that none from winehq-dev spits out any public message, cos what is going on now is that there will be 2-3-4+ ppl/groups all doing their own rebases.. possibly to varying degrees.

The documentation on the staging repository is there.. in the history of commits, so if it would be of use, one should cherry pick "important" patches, and get those in. Doing the whole patch-set is... well.. too daunting imo.

Kudos to everyone lending a hand tho! :)

If it's any consolation, the Staging people haven't told us anything either. Clearly that's not ideal.

I'd suggest people interested in picking up the Staging patches coordinate on the wine-devel mailing list and the #winehackers IRC channel, but ultimately that's of course up to individual people.


Comment 13 Luke Short 2018-02-16 17:50:50 CST

It was expressed a few months ago at WineConf 2017 that, moving forward, the idea is to work on cleaning up the hacky patches from Wine-Staging and get them into the official Wine project faster.

If you keep track of the wine-devel mailing list you will already notice that a lot of patches have already been cleaned up and integrated.

With the Wine 3.0 release, Alexandre even gave the greenlight to integrate the long-awaited command stream multi-threading (CSMT) patches.

Comment 14 Zebediah Figura 2018-02-16 18:36:12 CST

The suggestion was made, and some people (mostly Vincent, more recently also Alistair among others) have been trying to do so.

That said, none of the Staging people attended the last conference (and indeed they've been radio-silent since early November, before the conference began), so it's not really the case that the agreed-upon intent is now to get rid of Staging.

^_^

HID Gamepad support means that we don't need to use dumbxinputemu etc. anymore? If that's the case, great news.

Does anyone know what's the situation with Gallium Nine, will it be rebased on Wine vanilla?

I dont think so

Wine devs sometime ago cited dont have any interest in support double implementation

In same situation could be put dxvk

However in last point wine stay working in vkd3d (for now dx12)

Maybe them can change in future to vulkan* because this api runs in all hardware with all type of drivers

*Thanks to dxvk project for probe vulkan possibilities

In teory yes however i said before dont have all code now

In next wine if devs approve aric stewart work could recognize xbox gamepads with own names thanks to add xbox gamepads pids

Maybe in next two weeks aric stewart can add pids of playstation gamepads

^_^

Seems like wine-staging is being rebased to wine 3.x

Is Wine Staging dead now?

Something is happening here https://dev.wine-staging.com/timeline/
Patience.

I try to switch to wine-devel but it don't works on my system. It missed a vulkan DLL and gave me lot of errors. So I go back to wine-staging. But wine-staging stucks at 2.21, so I can't use this new improvements.

With wine-devel I don't even can run Doom 2016, which runs under staging for over a year without any problems. Am I the only one with problems like this? Xubuntu 17.10, Nvidia driver 387.34.

I would like to try GTA V, for example. But with 3.1 it doesn't even starts. I can't even get to the backscreen. Somehow I get the impression that we have reached the point again, where you have again to test and configure a lot more by yourself.

Maybe that's why nothing new appears in staging. The old staging version is still very stable. I'm now waiting for 4.0, which should be released next year. Maybe I can finally play GTA V with that.

Wine-Staging is done:

So let's see what Alistair makes of his fork and how many patches land upstream in the near future

Thanks for the info. But who is Alistair?

It's a pity that wine staging is no longer possible.

Thanks for the info. But who is Alistair?

One person that created this fork https://github.com/wine-staging/wine-staging/

It is not bad if it is over as long as the patches are upstreamed.

I think the main problem is, that there is no easy working repository for 3.x any more. I didn't test the stable branch so far, but I would expect the same problems I had with 3.1. All this is time consuming. In that time I prefer to play native Linux games and wait until there is a well maintained repository for gamers again. I, for my part, would pay for it as long as the results are published under the same license as Wine. Patreon?

Which gaming relevant patches are in Staging that didn't yet make it to the main branch?

For me the GTA V black screen patch. Is nearly impossible to start the game with wine versions < 3.1 if you have Nvidia hardware. See:

Does anyone know why Wine 3.1 or 3.2 even has not made yet to Debian sid?

ECDSA Cert Patchseries and the NTDLL Patches that allow the Blizzard App and Anti-Cheat System to work for WoW and Overwatch (probably the rest of the franchises too)
