Another biweekly release of the compatibility layer Wine is out now! As the developers continue the progress towards getting Wine working fully with Wayland in version 8.12. Reminder: once a year a new stable release is made with the next being Wine 9.0, and Wine is just one part of what allows Steam Play Proton to play some of the biggest games around on Linux desktop and Steam Deck.
The main highlights of this release:
- Initial support for painting windows in the Wayland driver.
- Command stream performance improvements in WineD3D.
- Various bug fixes.
31 bugs were noted as solved with this release including fixes for: Combat Mission Shock Force (a bug from 2007!), Starcraft II, Flutter SDK, Excel 2016, Harry Potter Magic Awakened and plenty more miscellaneous fixes for expected behaviour of Windows apps.

This is the missing bit needed for the waylanddrv driver to be loaded and used instead of winex11:

It has yet to be merged in upstream Wine.
Applying that works. It's just that other interesting bits, like actually interacting with a Wayland window have yet to be merged!

I see, thanks for the pointer. No rush to test it then.
