Wine 11.20 for Haiku, test build 16

Wine 11.20 from the ablyssx74/wine Haiku fork, as a package for 64-bit Haiku (x86_64). Same as test build 15, plus:

What's new

• Direct3D 10/11 programs are no longer drawn upside down (Unreal Tournament 4's launcher and menus). The OpenGL bridge now reads the window's own framebuffer, not one the program left bound for reading.
• Programs that use OpenGL close normally with Nebula: the bridge leaves quickly at exit and no longer aborts inside a pthread mutex.
• WINE_HAIKU_GL_DEBUG=1 also prints when an OpenGL context is made or destroyed.

Known problems

• The previous list still applies (Firefox, the first start in a new prefix, Unreal Tournament in true fullscreen).
• Unreal Tournament 4 is slow even at low settings.
• In Unreal Tournament 469 with Nebula, changing the mouse input mode asks to restart the game, and the old game then freezes and cannot be killed.
• DXVK does not work (the Haiku driver has no Vulkan support); do not install it in the prefix.
• Run wineserver -k before testing a change to WINE_HAIKU_* variables: a running wineserver keeps the environment it was started with.

Install

Click wine11-11.20-16-x86_64.hpkg and install with Haiku's package manager.

For 32-bit programs also install the wine_compat kernel add-on (included, unchanged since test build 10; see wine_compat-README.md). 64-bit programs do not need it. More about the add-on: https://github.com/ablyssx74/wine/tree/master/haiku/wine_compat

Wine 11.20 for Haiku, test build 15

Wine 11.20 from the ablyssx74/wine Haiku fork, as a package for 64-bit Haiku (x86_64). Same as test build 11, plus:

What's new

• OpenGL works with Nebula (the NVIDIA driver, whose OpenGL is Zink on NVK through libglvnd). Nebula removes Mesa, and the Haiku OpenGL bridge (libwinehglshim.so) needed Mesa's libglapi.so.0, so it could not load and Wine was left with no OpenGL. It no longer needs it.
• The picture fills the window with Nebula (it was drawn in a 64x64 square at the bottom left). Unreal Tournament 469 with the XOpenGL renderer runs on the GPU.
• If libEGL advertises the Wayland platform but has no configs, the Haiku bridge is used instead of EGL. WINE_HAIKU_GL=egl or hgl forces one or the other.
• WINE_HAIKU_GL_DEBUG=1 prints the window, surface and viewport sizes now and then.

Known problems

• The previous list still applies (Firefox, the first start in a new prefix, Unreal Tournament in true fullscreen).
• With Nebula the game has crashed once inside Zink's worker thread (zink_make_texture_handle_resident); setting UseBindlessTextures=False in the game's UnrealTournament.ini is the first thing to try.
• Run wineserver -k before testing a change to WINE_HAIKU_* variables: a running wineserver keeps the environment it was started with.

Install

Click wine11-11.20-15-x86_64.hpkg and install with Haiku's package manager.

For 32-bit programs also install the wine_compat kernel add-on (included, unchanged since test build 10; see wine_compat-README.md). 64-bit programs do not need it. More about the add-on: https://github.com/ablyssx74/wine/tree/master/haiku/wine_compat

Wine 11.20 for Haiku, test build 11

Wine 11.20 from the ablyssx74/wine Haiku fork, as a package for 64-bit Haiku (x86_64). Build 11 fixes the network adapter information; everything else is as in build 10.

What's new in build 11

• Programs can see the network adapters again. Wine on Haiku used to report no network adapters and no routes at all (GetAdaptersAddresses failed), so programs that check for a connection first, decided the computer was offline. Wine now lists the adapters (their state, address and DNS servers), the loopback interface and the routing table of the network stack. A few interfaces were also being listed again and again; that is fixed.

What works

• 64-bit Windows programs.
• 32-bit Windows programs (WoW64) on a stock kernel, through the separate wine_compat kernel add-on (included in this release).
• Sound through Haiku's own sound player (winehaiku.drv).
• OpenGL through Haiku's BGLView; Direct3D 9 and 11 through Wine's wined3d on top of it.
• Its own copy of the Wayland server, with a working mouse for games: pointer lock, relative motion, Raw Input, DirectInput, a hidden cursor, and a borderless full-screen window. Unreal Tournament 469 is the test case.
• Processor information, time zone, the network adapters, and a few Haiku-specific crash and hang fixes.

Known problems

• A new prefix can come out without 32-bit support (about one in fifteen): Wine runs a 32-bit helper to set up the 32-bit part of a prefix, and that helper sometimes crashes at start. Then syswow64 in the prefix is empty and every 32-bit program stops with could not load kernel32.dll. Delete the prefix and create it again.
• A program that is first started in a brand-new prefix needs a minute or two on a slow machine; wait for the "configuration is being updated" box.
• Steam installs and updates itself, but its window does not show yet: the browser it is built on (Chromium) loses its graphics process.
• Firefox: a normal install of firefox.exe shows a blank white window instead of loading pages. A FirefoxPortable profile renders pages, but on Nebula some websites (video sites) can freeze the system.
• With Mesa installed over Nebula without a reboot, OpenGL images have been seen upside down.
• Unreal Tournament in true fullscreen can start with scrambled lines until the mode is changed; borderless window mode at full resolution works well.

Install

Copy wine11-11.20-11-x86_64.hpkg to your home folder first, then move it into /system/packages (a half-copied file makes the package daemon reject it). Remove the older wine11 package from there first.

For 32-bit programs also install the wine_compat kernel add-on (see wine_compat-README.md): copy wine_compat to
~/config/non-packaged/add-ons/kernel/drivers/bin/ and make the link ~/config/non-packaged/add-ons/kernel/drivers/dev/misc/wine_compat
pointing at ../../bin/wine_compat (create the bin and dev/misc folders if they don't exist). The add-on is tested on hrev60299+6; on
other builds it reports that it cannot hook the kernel and 32-bit programs stay disabled, while 64-bit programs are not affected.
