Roadmap

🗺️ Roadmap

This page tracks work in progress and open to-do items. Issues that are already fixed live on the Troubleshooting or Known Issues section of the guide they belong to instead, so this page does not go stale with old wins. Cross-cutting issues that are not yet fixed live on General-Known-Issues.

In Progress

• [ 🟨 ] Vector pen preview lines (thanks Søren for reporting). AffinityPluginLoader's WineFix already ships a patched d2d1.dll that fixes inaccurate vector pen preview lines. Not yet folded into an official guide step on this wiki.
• [ 🟨 ] Studiolink working.
• [ 🟨 ] Affinity's own custom maximize button computes an undersized window. Separate from the KDE Plasma Wayland maximize bug on General-Known-Issues, this one is Affinity's own maximize behaviour, not a Wine/compositor bug. Workaround: manually drag the window to the screen edges once per session. No fix attempted yet. Flagged as a candidate for a future WineFix- or LoginFix-style plugin patch.

Not Started

• [ ❌ ] OpenCL for AMD/Intel GPUs (waiting on ElementalWarrior Wine).
• [ ❌ ] "Executable file does not exist" warning in Lutris, shown even when the file genuinely exists at that exact path (confirmed with ls). We checked Flatpak filesystem permissions and ruled them out (filesystems=home was already granted). Not root-caused. Does not block the app from actually launching or working.
• [ ❌ ] Video walkthrough tutorials, one per install method:
  • [ ❌ ] Install-Guide-Wine
  • [ ❌ ] Install-Guide-Lutris
  • [ ❌ ] Install-Guide-Heroic
  • [ ❌ ] Install-Guide-Bottles
  • [ ❌ ] Install-Guide-Rum
