You don't really.

One of the things that still depends on 2.21, staging or otherwise, are the galllium nine patches. But I'm sure they will be updated in time.

I finish some tests between wine 3.3 vanilla and wine 3.3 + PBA

In both cases performance improve so much (nvenc used in all cases), around 20 to 25fps in each game

^_^

Quoting: knroSlightly off-topic here.. why should I use wine-2.x staging when Wine 3.3 is out?

You should not be using Wine staging 2.x. That project is dead.

Quoting: GuestI've not found much as a performance gain using PBA, well none at all really

Tried Burnout Paradise on PBA 3.3 staging and performance seems worse, or at the very least the same

Am I doing anything wrong here? Any particular winetricks I need to install for example?

It all depends on the game and your hardware.

here's a good explanation in which cases this patchset helps: https://comminos.com/posts/2018-02-21-wined3d-profiling.html
