Upstream Wine-8.x is borked / Modern Wine builds are NOT suitable for my use. #6

Wine-8.x is junk.

Not suitable for my use case of proaudio, in general. why?

I am going to continue to rebase and periodically test, but atm, upstream Wine is just awful for performance. Definitely not suitable to be using for my own use-case (ie: using Ableton Live, or even NI Komplete 13 on it's own)... it's sad that after 15 years I can't seem to use my software on the latest / a modern version of wine...

For now, I'm using Windows... When i'm not as busy with work: I'm going to go back and do a clean rebase / build of Wine-NSPA-7.5, basically from scratch to clean out some cruft and re-organize patchwork. (solely for use with Yabridge and/or Element)

The future of using Wine doesn't look bright though - I've waited months for Wine-8.x to deliver and it's still utter crap, all around. (if you actually care about getting relatively decent performance, anyway).

Sad to hear that, hopefully this will get sorted out. Thanks for your tremendous work so far ! - following eagerly. Is there something to do, like filing/pushing bug reports @upstream Wine/Proton ?

@revast

oh, I'm sure it'll all get worked out. but it's one of those things: I don't have a tonne of time and it's an upstream problem.

there has been heavy churn of changes and workings to Wine - all of PE work. LHF work, etc... I'm not surprised things are a bit borked, atm... I'm sure it'll all get ironed out and I'll be able to use WIne again...

but for now: I'm more focused on other things... and I do plan on reworking my 7.5 builds soon - dropping some code, updating some other bits and just getting it back to being ideal for my primary use case. (mainly, for YaBridge + NI + UHE, etc && to use Kushview Element, as well).

I'll probably push a cleaned up, stripped down and updated version of Wine-7.5+ in the next month or so. As soon as my free time permits

huh,

well, it looks like upstream wine has fixed some of the (big) issues that we show-blocking bugs / problems...

i just rebased on Wine-Staging -- and, in particular, the synchronization and audio issues have gone away...

i m getting some lock contention and some other instability -- but with the above seemingly resolved, it mans i can probably look at trying to stabilize Wine-NSPA-8.x in the coming week or so...

no longer borked... closing ;-)
