No. Sadly that wasn't possible due to 32bit library dependencies.

Quoting: Shmerl
Quoting: SkipperroI've tested it and... WOW!
Somehow no one can answer this. Can you check please, is the update 64-bit or not?

According to the Company this is not possible due to 32bit lib dependencies

The loading time indeed is ruining the good impression a little. Great ga.

Wine Staging is no longer putting out new releases

We need more than simply rebasing the existing patches though. Lots of fixmes need fresh patches too ;)

Wine 3.2 released with gamepad improvements and more Direct3D work

Quoting: KimyrielleWhich gaming relevant patches are in Staging that didn't yet make it to the main branch?

ECDSA Cert Patchseries and the NTDLL Patches that allow the Blizzard App and Anti-Cheat System to work for WoW and Overwatch (probably the rest of the franchises too)

Quoting: 1xokThanks for the info. But who is Alistair?
One person that created this fork https://github.com/wine-staging/wine-staging/

It is not bad if it is over as long as the patches are upstreamed.

So let's see what Alistair makes of his fork and how many patches land upstream in the near future

Wine 3.1 is now available to kick off another development cycle

Quoting: TheRiddickThis is what happens when only one person maintains a branch. A common problem for Linux projects like this.

Wine-Staging has more than one person working on it. Michael Müller is also part of the team.
Rebasing all the patches might take some time.

Feral Interactive are teasing another Linux port, so that's two titles not yet announced

Quoting: CimerydNo! Forget it! I'm refusing to get my hopes up again. Blizzard will never support Linux, and with how they are actively phasing out DX9 support I suspect they just hate me at this point.
If they get rid of old code it will be easier to port. Also it is a little bit
of hope in there too. Wine is not done yet with dx11 support by far yet and neither is dxvk. So it woukd come in handy if feral did it.

So if we have a storm of war coming couldn't the hero of two worlds not be the players in world of warcrafts upcoming Battle for Azeroth?
