Another two weeks and another bottle of Wine has been opened. This Wine 6.11 development release pulls in an interesting patch too for Roblox.
I doubt Roblox needs much of an introduction. Sadly it's another game that doesn't support Linux and stopped working in Wine long ago - until now. Wine bug #39142 (Roblox Client/Server connection is dropped with error "This server has shut down.") is now solved with this commit. So the Roblox client should now work but keep in mind there's a number of caveats, some of which can be seen here.
What's new includes:
- Theming support in all builtin programs.
- All remaining CRT math functions imported from Musl.
- MP3 support requires libmpg123 also on macOS.
- Support for codepage 720 (Arabic).
They also noted a total of 33 bug fixes. Usual note: some bugs are old that were fixed previously but have seen recent re-testing, some genuinely were fixed recently. Windows game improvements include: Roblox as noted, Hogs of War, Might & Magic Clash of Heroes, Roller Coaster Rampage, Two Worlds Epic Edition, Amnesia: Rebirth, Starcraft Remastered, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Just Cause 4, Wizard101, Starcraft 2 and more.
See the full release notes for more.

But don't feel obligated to do anything. I would have understanding for that.
EDIT: Still quite a few caveats ...

"50041 Amnesia: Rebirth crashes with builtin vcomp140"
Who is running Amnesia: Rebirth using Wine and why ? There's a native version. I haven't heard anything saying it sucked performance wise. My issue is the time it spent fixing that bug could have been spent fixing bugs for games that we actually need Wine for. I've reported a half dozen bugs to Wine in the last few years, none of which even got so much as a single response or fix but they're busy fixing stuff for games with a native version.
