In this wine version various problems are corrected


For example some time various titles* dont run correctly but in this version more work on winsock are added

*Case Dragon Age Origins, Dragon Age II, Mas Effect 2 and Maybe others

In other cases like as resident evil revelations 1 (and 2 too) objects missing are corrected (however some issues when charge new scene still remains)

Other important fix in this wine version have relation with color issues present on call of duty world at war (singleplayer-multiplayer) and fix color issues in other games like assassins creed 1 (white color issue) and on farcry 3 (color issues in objects)

Farcry 3 working correctly?
According to [1] it has severe gameplay issues.
(Got it in a bundle, have yet to try it under Wine).

This result stay updated but make test with amd card and opensource driver (updated result in nvidia hardware are needed) but in my case use nvidia card with lastest propietary drivers (for this reason results are different)

In uplay dont need any special thing to work, only disable uplay overlay

Mouse issue could have two solutions: change mouse override settings in registry to force or use in windowed mode (i use this mode)

Thanks for the information.
I'll give it a try.

Great to read that Dragon Age Origins & Dragon Age II (of course Mass Effect 2, too - will see if ME3 also works better) work fine

Thanks for the update, pinguinpc !

Indeed,

Dragon Age II works great !

unfortunately there aren't some effects available like on Windows (only with DirectX 11 enabled available),

but I can live with that


Also there's *NO* graphical corruption compared to Windows (e.g. ogres have transparent parts at their chest where you can look at the environment/background through them)


there however was a sound issue - with dialog sound at full level it was very quiet - had to lower it one level and now it's OK

running very fluidly

DX11 effects are gone sadly, in my case dont let me use anisotropic filtering in dragon age II

In my case sound works ok but i use only stereo sound (my speakers are very simple)



But in other news other game has fixed is injustice gods among us (in before wine versions have intense flickering problem)

And other cases like assasins creed brotherhood multiplayer, i notice appears more colors in various animations (before wine versions this colors dont appear)
