Just before the weekend was over, another development release of the Windows compatibility layer Wine 9.14 was released. This is a large part of what makes Valve's Proton able to do its thing.

What's new from the changelog:

  • Mailslots reimplemented using server-side I/O.
  • More support for ODBC Windows drivers.
  • Still more user32 data structures in shared memory.
  • Various bug fixes.

Plus there's fixes for:

  • Civilization I
  • Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction
  • I Am Alive
  • Unreal Engine 5.2
  • Act of War (Direct Action, High Treason)
  • Warlords III: Darklords Rising

And a few other miscellaneous expected Windows behaviour fixes as usual.

I couldn't get into modern Civ.
Wonder if I should try 1 again (or maybe 2).

To be honest, I was thinking "Civilization . . . 1? Was there really a Civ before 2?"
I played Civ 2 to death, then kind of skipped a couple of versions and play a fair amount of V. But there were definitely things about 2 . . . maybe I should try it again. Or maybe 4; I sort of have the impression that 4 is the last one that's pretty much like 2 only upgraded, with 5 as a clear departure.

I say fuck all that, and just play Alpha Centauri if you don't wanna play Civ II. lol

Civ 2 was so good, it has to be the best Win3.x game ever
