CodeWeavers CrossOver 21.2 for Linux Mac and Chrome OS

I’m thrilled to announce that we have released CrossOver 21.2 for macOS, Linux and Chrome OS!

This new release offers both improvements from upstream Wine and important fixes for a variety of issues.

CrossOver 21.2 includes over 300 updates to wined3d from upstream Wine. We also included dozens of changes from Wine 6.0.1 and 6.0.2 and updated to Wine Mono 7.0.

Audio now works on both Mac and Linux for Halo: Master Chief Collection. We also fixed an issue with a recent Steam update that was causing some connections to take a very long time.

On macOS, we fixed a long-standing issue with mouse control in Unity games. We also included fixes for the latest Rockstar Games Launcher and Quicken updates that caused those applications to stop working on M1 machines.

For our Linux and Chrome OS users, we fixed rendering issues on Office 365. We also made changes so that CrossOver once again seamlessly installs on Chrome OS, and we added a fix for libldap dependency errors on certain Linux distros (including Ubuntu 21.10).

CodeWeavers CrossOver 21.1 for Linux Mac and Chrome OS

I’m thrilled to announce that we have released CrossOver 21.1 for macOS, Linux and Chrome OS!

In addition to a suite of fixes for a variety of applications, CrossOver 21.1 also includes some pretty cool enhancements. We’re very excited about them, and we hope you will be too.

Our big reveal for this release is much-awaited support for Grand Theft Auto V (including GTA Online) on both macOS and Linux. Starting with CrossOver 21.1, you can now run Grand Theft Auto V via either the standalone Rockstar Games Launcher or Steam.

This release is also the first to offer official support for the newly released macOS Monterey. We also added support for several games that previously did not run on macOS and fixed an issue for certain launchers that were not working on macOS with CrossOver 21 (including MicroTik The Dude).

For our Linux users, we restored support for Outlook 2016/365.

On Chrome OS, resolving dependency issues should be much smoother with this release.

CrossOver 21.1 includes several other fixes, including ones for the recent updates to Ubisoft Connect and Quicken that caused problems running them in CrossOver. Additionally, this release includes improvements to wined3d and an update to Wine Mono 6.3.

Wine stable release 4.0 is now available for Linux FreeBSD Android and macOS

Wine stable release 4.0 is now available for Linux FreeBSD Android and macOS

The Wine team is proud to announce that the stable release Wine 4.0 is now available.
This release represents a year of development effort and over 6,000 individual changes. It contains a large number of improvements that are listed in the release notes below. The main highlights are:

• Vulkan support.
• Direct3D 12 support.
• Game controllers support.
• High-DPI support on Android.

The source is available now. Binary packages are in the process of being built, and will appear soon at their respective download locations.

What's new in Wine 4.0
======================


*** Direct3D

- Initial support for Direct3D 12 is implemented. Direct3D 12 support
  requires the vkd3d library, and a Vulkan-capable graphics card.

- The Multi-Threaded Command Stream feature is enabled by default.

- OpenGL core contexts are always used by default when available. In
  the previous release, these were already used by default for
  Direct3D 10 and 11 applications on AMD and Intel graphics
  cards. That has been extended to all graphics cards, and all
  versions of Direct3D before 12.

- Among others, the following notable Direct3D 10 and 11 features are
  implemented:

  - Multi-sample textures and views, as well as multi-sample resolves.
  - Per-sample fragment shading.
  - Support for 1D textures.
  - Draws without render target views or depth/stencil views.
  - Multiple viewports and scissor rectangles per draw.
  - Depth clipping control.
  - Depth bias clamping.
  - Stream output without geometry shaders.
  - Several more capability queries.
  - Several more resource formats.

- The "depth bias clamping" feature mentioned above requires the
  ARB_polygon_offset_clamp/EXT_polygon_offset_clamp OpenGL
  extension. All Direct3D 10+ capable hardware should be able to
  support that extension, but it has come to our attention that some
  NVIDIA "Legacy Drivers" do not. We encourage affected users to
  explore whether the Free Software Nouveau drivers meet their needs.

- Several Direct3D 11 interfaces have been updated to version 11.2,
  and several DXGI interfaces have been update to version 1.6. This
  allows applications requiring those newer interfaces to start
  working.

- The first steps towards more fine-grained locking in the Direct3D
  implementation have been taken. This will be an ongoing effort to
  take better advantage of modern high core count CPUs.

- Support for using the correct swap interval is implemented, for both
  DXGI and DirectDraw applications.

- Application-configurable frame latency is implemented for Direct3D
  9Ex and DXGI applications.

- S3TC-compressed 3D textures are supported. S3TC-compressed 2D
  textures were already supported, provided the OpenGL drivers
  supported them.

- When the ARB_query_buffer_object OpenGL extension is available,
  query results can be polled with lower latency, resulting in a
  modest performance improvement in specific cases.

- Validation of Direct3D 8 and 9 resource pool and usage restrictions,
  as well as blit restrictions, has been improved.

- The Direct3D graphics card database recognizes more graphics cards.

- New HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D registry keys:
  - "MultisampleTextures" (REG_DWORD)
    Enable (0x1, default) or disable (0x0) support for multi-sample
    textures.
  - "Renderer" (REG_SZ)
    The backend API to target. Possible values are "gl" (default) for

Phoenicis PlayOnLinux 5.0 - Alpha 2 has been released

Hi everyone!

We wish a happy and successful year! For this first day of 2019, we are glad to release the second alpha version of Phoenicis PlayOnLinux 5.

A new wine builder

We have rewritten from scratch our winebuild platform. To make it short, it is more reliable, more transparent, easier to setup and cross-platform compatible. Any project that needs to use wine could now potentially use it and take advantage of the 1828 different builds. (We admit that some of them are outdated, though).

The winebuild project is open source, uses containers. You can install it on your machine in no time if you want to build wine by yourself.

Support of new wine distributions

Speaking about wine builds, we now support 4 wine distributions:

• Upstream wine builds are vanilla and unmodified wine ⁽¹⁾
• Staging wine builds are the wine builds patched by wine-staging
• Dos support wine builds contains wine and dosbox. (See the next feature)
• CX contains a wine version patched by codeweavers

We plan to support proton in the next weeks.
All these wine build can be compiled directly through https://github.com/PhoenicisOrg/phoenicis-winebuild/.

(1) Except the very old versions that have a specific suffix is their names, like 1.5.3-heap_allocation_v2-avoid_deadlock, but we are going to move them anyway.

DOS Support

Winebuild now provides dos_support distribution. The way these wine binaries works is very simple: Wine launch script has been modified to detect if the given .exe is Win32 or a DOS executable. If it is a DOS executable, it will set-up a dosbox configuration that will behave consistenly with wine:

• mount drive_c as C: on dosbox
• if a autoexec.bat file exists inside the prefix, it will run it
• support of custom DOS configuration per prefix
• ...

The script framework has also been modified so that you can tweak some dosbox settings directly from a script. Here is an exemple of "advanced" script

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

wine.run(wine.prefixDirectory() + "/drive_c/The Elder Scroll 1: Arena/Arena106.exe"); // Arena106.exe is a w32 fine, wine will run wine.dosbox()     .memSize(64)     .renderAspect(true)     .cpuCycles("max 95% limit 33000")     .renderFrameSkip(1); wine.run(wine.prefixDirectory() + "/drive_c/The Elder Scroll 1: Arena/ARENA.BAT"); // ARENA.BAT is obviously a MS-DOS file, dosbox will run

GoG support

We've added a way to add a web browser view directly inside script wizards. Thanks to this feature, scripts can now authenticate to any website.
Phoenicis can automatically download and install GoG games from your account, as POLv4 used to do during the past years.

A complete demonstration video of gog.com support: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fopp-x9Fz3g&feature=youtu.be
Also, we have made a script pattern for all GoG games: it has drastically simplified them from POLv4. The script are so much easier that we believe that they will be a lot more maintained.

POLv5 script

POLv4 script

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 include(["engines", "wine", "quick_script", "gog_script"]); var installerImplementation = {     run: function () {         new GogScript()             .name("Teenagent")             .editor("")             .applicationHomepage("")             .author("Quentin PÂRIS")             .gogSetupFileName("teenagent/en1installer0")             .category("Games")             .wineVersion(LATEST_DOS_SUPPORT_VERSION)             .wineDistribution("dos_support")             .executable("TEENAGNT.EXE")             .go();     } };

We are planning to add tons of GoG games in the library so stay tuned!

Installation of verbs directly inside a container

You can now install verbs directly from a wine container.

Standalone packages

• We are now providing standalone packages that can work on any distribution without the need to install JDK runtime. These packages also remove all the feature that we don't need from the JDK. In the future, there will be probably two sorts of packages, but we want to make things easier for you for now.
• We now provide macOS packages
• We also support flatpak

I'd like to thank once again all the developers that helped us during the past weeks, plata, madoar, and also all those of you that contributed by reporting bugs, suggesting improvements, or tested phoenicis-winebuild.

Our next goals is to focus on prefix management (change of wine version inside a prefix, add debugging tools, etc...) and performance optimization.

If you have any suggestion or encounter any bug, we encourage you to come in our Github page: https://github.com/PhoenicisOrg/. This version is still at alpha-stage, so please be indulgent.
I also take the opportunity of this news to also announce you that PlayOnLinux and PlayOnMac 4.3.4 has been released. They have been updated to support the new winebuild system, and the different windows of the application have been made resizable. It should fix the HDPI issues some of you were encoutering. We continue to maintain these versions until you are 100% satisfied with POLv5
