Quoting: GuestMy one problem with wine is that I have a few problems with getting it to run games with disks. I have a lot of retro games that I would enjoy playing, except you need a disk drive.

in my case use this (very usefull)

and work a virtual cd/dvd drive on linux, similar to daemon tools or virtual clone drive on windows (acetone dont work like a virtual drive)

something more cdemu work like a virtual drive and have this too:

and this

this wine version as talked before give a huge update for 32bit games and this affect stability

normally wine shows suddenly crashes in various 32bit games but with VK_EXT_map_memory_placed, this problem has been resolved in various games in my case

avatar (movie based) the videogame

in before tests this game show suddenly crashes and sometimes freezes in blue lagoon, normally dont be possible explore all blue lagoon at begins because show suddenly crashes in any moment

but now with lastest mesa and wine-git (now 9.4) dont show any crash in around 4 hours of gameplay

Quoting: Liam DaweI will refer to what the actual developers of it said, and they said very clearly as quoted in the article that it affected performance.

Is common devs dont play games but as user this update affect more stability (especially 32bit dx9 games) and maybe performance (with wined3d is possible)

but most people use dxvk (d9vk as i said) for dx9 games and using dxvk is more notorious stability than performance in most games
