We're reaching the end-game now Wine fans, the time for Wine 9.0 to release is quickly approaching with a second Release Candidate now available.
Currently the project is in a code-freeze, during this time no new features will make it in while the developers focus on bug-fixing for the Windows compatibility layer.
33 bugs were noted as solved including issues for EA Desktop, The Settlers: Heritage of Kings, Waves Central, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, Hitomi Downloader, Dolphin Emulator and various miscellaneous fixes affecting numerous different applications and games.
The Wine 9.0 stable release is due out in January. Some time next year Valve will likely rebase Proton to use Wine 9.0.
Additionally related, the Direct3D 12 to Vulkan layer VKD3D-Proton released version 2.11.1 which includes:
