[2019] New development wine build available: winehq-binary-226/Wine 4.11

Hey all,

I’ve just released a new version of wine into the dev versions branch, it’ll be listed as “winehq-binary-226”.

Under the hood it’s wine 4.11, specifically this one: https://sourceforge.net/projects/wine/files/Slackware%20Packages/4.11/x86_64/

I don’t have any plans to push this to release wine any time soon, it’s well upstream of where the mac wine version is at. I’ve put it in dev because I want to play around with it and see if it’s got any fixes for the black gas cloud cubes etc.

Give it a spin if you want and let me know what your experience is. Don’t forget to include your distro and bitness!

I actually don’t know the answer to either of these questions. As far as I know the black cubes show up on both the 32 and 64 bit clients in dx11 mode (I might check when I get home), so I think it’s just a DX11 thing.

I’m not suuuper-concerned about the CPU usage as long as it’s still functional. I have to pick my battles on linux patches since it’s not officially supported so I work on it in my spare time. I’ll keep an eye on the situation but I won’t be putting any time into investigations unless CPU usage makes it impossible to play. I am however always open to people who know what’s up telling me what’s wrong and giving me clear info on how to fix it, so if you know why it’s happening please clue me in
