14 DAY TRIAL // A new development release of the popular, open-source and cross-platform Wine free implementation of Windows on Unix solution was announced on October 28, 2016, versioned 1.9.22.
Coming two weeks after the release of the previous version, namely Wine 1.9.21, the Wine 1.9.22 update is here to add even more improvements to the upcoming HID support, improve the WebServices implementation, add experimental bitmap rendering in Direct2D, and adapt the macOS clipboard support to the new design.
Looking closer at the release notes for the Wine 1.9.22 development release, we can't help but notice that it ships with a total of 25 bug fixes, thus adding improvements for multiple Windows games and applications, and addressing some of the most annoying issues reported by users since Wine 1.9.21 or previous builds.
Here are the Windows games and apps that'll run better with Wine on Linux
Among the Windows games that will run better with Wine on Linux, we can mention Tron 2.0, Mysterious Journey II (a.k.a.
