Just before the weekend hits you in the face like a bad hangover when you realise it's Monday already, there's another bottle of Wine ready for you.
Of course, we're not talking about the tasty liquid! Put down the glass, it's the other kind of Wine. The one used to run your fancy Windows programs and games on Linux. Doing their usual thing, developer Alexandre Julliard announced that the Wine 4.0 Release Candidate 2 is officially out the door today.
While this release is nothing spectacular it is an important one, the more bugs they're able to tick off the list the better the 4.0 release will be for more people to use it.
With that said, there's no new features and only 11 bugs noted as sorted for this release candidate:
19184 File copying fails during installation of Mordor
23282 SpeQ: Wrong coded linefeed
25734 Magic: The Gathering Battlegrounds trial hangs upon startup
36430 valgrind shows a possible leak in shell32/tests/autocomplete.c
39736 Prototype 2 crashes
41992 total commander, copy dialog - Esc key not working
43178 Prototype regression
43676 Hitman(TM) requires session_set_option - option 84
44229 Visual C++ 1.51 can't add files to project (GetOpenFileName16() doesn't support custom templates or hooks)
46231 Button tests for ideal size fail on Arabic locale on Windows
46270 ReactOS explorer.exe can't delete objects (use-after free caused by incorrect free in STGMEDIUM_Release())

Quoting: torbidoThere is a new option in staging tab called "Use ARB Shaders". What is that for?
Interesting sometime ago devs talks about that setting could be show improvements on nvidia cards
However seems more interesting if them add faudio to staging

Quoting: UsualManaged to get an error trying out isaac rebirth on wine-staging. Do they accept wine-staging bug reports or just regular wine?
just curios on why you tried that game on wine when we have it natively?

I kept getting issues with my gamepads(ps3 controller, wireless 360 controller and logitech F310), so I wanted to see if they worked on the windows version. They did, but if you use the keyboard it doesn't work anymore.
Tried to contact Nicalis about the Linux version problem, but all I got was crickets...
Unrelated, but Super Meat Boy linux version also doesn't let you download the soundtrack. Would be happy if more users contacted Team Meat about it to see if they do something too.

I see, of course the more curious question is how anybody can play Binding of Isaac with a controller :). I've found anything else than keyboard completely horrendous in that game, but each to their own I guess. Sorry to hear that you have not gotten any reply from them, that really sucks.

For me, keyboard was horrendous, plus I like to lean back. :p
Yeah, typical linux users are an afterthought...
