However recording at 48fps needs around 17 a 20% of cpu on practical terms this represent 8 and 10 fps performance loss in my machine depending game

Wine staging 1.9.6 adds Vulkan support and disables CSMT
22 March 2016 at 5:07 pm UTC
Quoting: omer666
Quoting: edono future support for CSMT its definitely bad news, that sucks
You must have misunderstood what is actually happening.

Wine Staging is not an official build and integrates patches that the official version doesn't include yet. That's how they got to integrate CSMT in the first place.

The CSMT patch used with Staging is becoming incompatible because CSMT is in the process of being included upstream. So actually, as soon as upstream Wine finishes working on CSMT, you will get it back and enabled by default.

Exactly stefan dosinger CSMT stay changing because wine stay changing so much for example them stay working now on preshader feature of paul gofman, c++ 2012, quartz work, xinput work, some work related buffer management and others

If any want more know can read this

https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/

In this appears many things in work progress

Stefan dosinger stay add more csmt code in wine 1.9.5, once CSMT stay on master branch must be appear on staging without problem

Knights and Merchants strategy game to return to Linux using Wine, now in beta

Quoting: chimpyWhy aren't there more games released using Wine? Is it a wine licensing thing or are there other reasons? Wine would be great for old classics like Deus Ex and Fallout 2.

Yeah more classics are good idea however topware stay working various games using wine: once of them is enclave (but them put on 16th)

Some fragments about this information for courtesy steamcommunity

QuoteRaidor [dph]

a Linux port of Enclave will be done, but other game titles have a higher priority.

Earth 2160 is finished, now we work on Knights & Merchants.

Next will be Earth 2150 and Two Worlds ... Enclave is Number 16 on the list.

This is original steam community topic if you want know more

Knights and Merchants strategy game to return to Linux using Wine, now in beta

Quoting: fagnerlnExcuse my ignorance, but these games released as "WINE port" generate a new prefix, uses the same prefix installed or use different ways?

Dont affect your current prefix because them have own prefix, in knights and merchants for example is saved on:

/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Knights and Merchants Historical Version/

And on this have two more folders: Game and Wine folders, inside Wine folder stay regular wine folders: bin, lib, prefix and share folders
