Quoting: fenglengshunLoving this. Anything that could improve Trails in the Sky (which I run in DX8 mode since for some reason DX9 don't work with the Evo graphics patch) is good in my book.

In my case last time trials in sky works ok with d9vk but in this time use nvidia, i hope add in my next bunch series of test with ys VIII lacrimosa of dana in my uhd 630 gt2

Quoting: GrifterIt mentions X2 at the bottom of the list, having tried to play it on steam previously the biggest problem I encountered was missing audio and video due to weird codecs, not necessarily the 3d rendering. I hope it's on the list because it's fully playable without missing all the dialogue.

Yeah cinematics have many troubles on wine, for example recently in my case some wmv cinematics works before staging 7.22 but with 8.0 series dont work

However lastest 2 weeks them up various commits related media foundation some various wmv, others with winegstreamer and some with indeo video support on media foundation

In other things some patchs are added to related dinput

resuming if them approve maybe next wine seems interesting

Quoting: drlambSame, though I'll always be fond of the hours spent tinkering in PlayOnLinux/Lutris whilst digging through the WineHQ forums trying to get the latest cracked games working. Essentially my middle/high school experience.

Wolfenstein (2009) sticks out in my mind.

However actually some cracks still required (still with gog games) specially when you need modify exe, example if you need modify aspect ratio in exe

this is needed in my case for change aspect ratio, recently works with bulletstorm first version (cracked exe), inversion (cracked exe) if you try modify steam exe game dont run show steam error 51, personally think this error appear if steam check exe



however in other steam games works case dragon ball xenoverse, god eater resurrection, mirrors edge, ori and the blind forest and maybe others






Surprisingly BioShock Infinite got an update to fix it launching on Linux

Quoting: Liam DaweSounds like some of their work actually decreases performance https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/1667#note_18621

at simple seek affects winevulkan but if you have dxvk in theory must be save
