• Wine 10.7 released with an interesting loading time performance improvement

  The Wine 10.7 development release is out now, and in the highlights they noted an interesting sounding performance improvement for select games.

Linuxiac:

• Wine 10.7 Released with Improved Write Watch Performance

  The Wine Project, a compatibility layer renowned for enabling Linux and macOS users to run Windows applications, has officially released version 10.7 as the seventh maintenance update to the stable 10.x series.

  This new version introduces support for the Linux kernel’s user-fault-fd interface, which Wine now uses to accelerate “write-watch” memory tracking. That optimization trims overhead in copy-on-write scenarios that .NET applications and many modern games rely on for just-in-time compilation and garbage-collection bookkeeping.

  Wine 10.7 also extends its WindowsCodecs component with floating-point format conversions, enabling smoother handling of high-dynamic-range textures and other 96- or 128-bit-per-pixel assets.
