Building off yesterday's [1]Wine 11.18 bi-weekly development release is now Wine-Staging 11.18. This experimental flavor of Wine is presently carrying 273 extra patches over that upstream Git state, including some new patches for helping enhance the WoW64 support.

Wine-Staging 11.18 includes some new WoW64 patches to check the binary before setting the WoW64 entry as well as for not writing WoW64 for 64-bit binaries. Wine WoW64 as a reminder is the means of running 32-bit Windows applications inside a pure 64-bit environment.

One of the fixes with these latest WoW64 patches in staging is for [2]this bug from 2019 around the kernel services code. There is similarly [3]this bug report from 2020 also in the WoW64 services code.

Wine-Staging 11.18 also carries new patches for converting YV12 to RGB on render in the Quartz code for [4]this bug over Worms Forts: Under Siege (GOG.com) crashing when trying to play the intro.

Aside from that work, Wine-Staging 11.18 also pulls in the latest VKD3D Git code.

Wine-Staging 11.18 and Wine 11.18 are both available from [5]WineHQ.org .
