Written by Michael Larabel in WINE on 27 May 2016 at 11:07 AM EDT. 17 Comments

Out now is Wine 1.9.11 and its release has improvements in its Direct3D 11 support, but still it doesn't appear that Wine is ready yet for handling all the latest D3D11 AAA games.

The official Wine 1.9.11 announcement mentions "various Direct3D 11 improvements" along with better support for long URLs in WinInet, down-mixing support in DirectSound, cosmetic improvements to desktop mode, and bug fixes. In total there are 21 known bug fixes for this new development release.

Looking at the 1.9.11 changes via WineHQ.org, there are more Direct3D functions implemented, new D3D11 test cases, and over 100 other Direct3D releated changes in this release.
