A little later than they usually put out a release, the Wine 9.13 update is out now bringing more new features and bug fixes to bring better Windows compatibility to Linux. This is a large part of what makes Valve's Proton able to do its thing.
Highlights from Wine 9.13:
- Support for loading ODBC Windows drivers.
- More user32 data structures in shared memory.
- More rewriting of the CMD.EXE engine.
22 bugs noted to be solved as of this release including issues fixed for:
- Victoria 2
- Lylian demo
- Guild Wars 2
- The Witcher 3
- Assassin's Creed Revelations

This is an interesting bit - Wine developers are considering moving from gstreamer to something else:

Quoting: Cr1ogenAny News with Wine wayland?
I'm using it now - it's good, though there are some issues related to Plasma 5 which I hope won't be present in Plasma 6 (Debian was a bit slow in packaging it but it's coming soon). But those are compositor related I think. Wine Wayland itself is already very usable.

You need to enable a setting for the prefix in the registry. For example import this kind of reg file (or set it manually):
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Drivers]
"Graphics"="wayland,x11"That will load wayland driver ahead of x11 one in the prefix. Or if you use "x11,wayland", you can unset DISPLAY variable on demand for the same effect.
