The latest release in the continuous cycle of development of the Windows compatibility layer Wine is out with Wine 8.13 bringing plenty of fixes and a few new features. 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.
Highlights from the release notes:
- Wow64 support in WineGStreamer.
- WeakMap support in JScript.
- Georgian translation.
- Various bug fixes.
Looking over the bug fixes issues have been solved for: Steam, Medieval II: Total War, Yu-Gi-Oh! ONLINE 3, Aliens versus Predator Classic 2000, League of Legends, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat, Total War Shogun 2, Star Ocean The Last Hope HD, Fallout 3, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Total Conflict: Resistance, Dying Light 2: Stay Human and more.

Quoting: mrdeathjrThis wine version comes with Wow64 support in WineGStreamer (could affect cinematics), however once stay avalaible ubuntu packages add more infoIn this case I think it refers to the new experimental WoW64 mode. So no changes unless you build Wine with --enable-archs which isn't used by default yet, I think.

in good news at least compiling bi-arch is possible now in my case:
./configure --enable-archs=i386,x86_64
and works curiously dont show icons in folders on appetizer
32bits app
64bits app
almost forget using this method wine binaries are installed in usr/local/bin and wine64 dont stay anymore, only wine and run both apps 32bit and 64bits
