The Wine 2.14 development release landed this week and it has a handful of fixes for some of your favorite Windows games that you probably want to play on your GNU/Linux distribution, or macOS.

First off, Wine 2.14 updates the Mono engine with various under-the-hood bug fixes, implements Z-order support in the Android graphics driver, adds a few C++ calling convention workarounds in the IDL compiler, and brings scalable mouse cursors on the macOS platform.

But, as usual with every new Wine release, various bug fixes for some popular Windows apps and games are also included, and it looks like Wine 2.14 is here to improve support for the Serif WebPlus x5, x6 and x8 installers, the CHM viewer, iMesh 10, the Quicken Basic 2007 installer, and UnrealEd 3 apps.

Here are the Windows games that should work better on Linux or Mac

Windows games that should work better on your Linux-based or Mac OS include Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, The Witcher 3, Worms Armageddon, Dead by Daylight, Root Double: Before Crime * After Days, Dirt: Showdown, StarCraft II, Nora, Princess, and Stray Cat, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.

Two issues were also fixed for the League of Legends game, and it also looks like Wine 2.14 should compile without errors on 64-bit (x86_64) Debian GNU/Linux operating systems running kernel 4.9.30-2kali1 (2017-06-22), which is used on the famous Kali Linux penetration testing and ethical hacking distro.

The complete changelog is attached below if you're curious to know what exactly was changed for each of the supported Windows games and apps, and, in the meantime, you can download the Wine 2.14 source tarball right now through our web portal if you want to install it on your operating system.
