Here's the highlights:
- Bundled vkd3d upgraded to version 1.7.
- Better error reporting in the IDL compiler.
- Support for shared Wow64 Classes registry key.
- More cleanups in IME support.
- Support for configuring a WinRT dark theme.

Can you try Elderborn and Greak - Memories of Azur?
These 2 games play videos for me but the colors are messed up, sound works fine though. Both games are using Unity engine.

I've tried to re-encode to other h264 profiles too, which caused the videos to not play at all then. Thanks for checking it out :)

I actually ran into that with Wine 8.4, the problem was with widl ("windows interface definition language compiler"... it converts Windows' weird idl headers into our kind). I temporarily fixed it by dropping in the widl binary from my previous Wine 8.3 build (it was still OK, it doesn't actually have wine dependencies, just glibc).
Last night I built Wine 8.5 for my system wine (I use the wine-tkg build system ( https://github.com/Frogging-Family/wine-tkg-git ) and the first thing I did was build vkd3d-proton to see if widl was fixed, and yes indeed. Widl has a somewhat larger binary size than usual, so they must have added more shit to it.

Since you're invested into testing videos on Wine, I was wondering; has something happened with AVI playback since Wine 8.2 or so? Thief Gold/2 videos only play the audio and render a black screen...
