As you may know, Wine Staging is a special version of Wine that provides support for projects like Pipelight. The Pipelight developer forked wine into wine-staging and included some Pipelight-specific enhancements and some other features not present in the regular wine software.

Among others, it brings support for Nvidia graphics cards with support for CUDA, PhysX and NVENC plus CSMT to improve graphics performance and a few others.

The latest version available is Wine Staging 1.7.54, which has been recently released, bringing the below changes:

  • Add stub for SetCoalescableTimer
  • Add stub for SetConsoleKeyShortcuts
  • Add stub for SfcGetNextProtectedFile
  • Do not allow interruption of system APC in server_select
  • Fix multiple issues in widl typelib generation
  • IEnumSTATSTG::Next should zero out returned stats when enumeration ends
  • Implement FileNamesInformation class support for NtQueryDirectoryFile
  • Implement SystemHandleInformation info class
  • Implement hal.KeQueryPerformanceCounter
  • Implement kernel32.GetConsoleFontSize
  • Implement stub for ProcessQuotaLimits info class
  • Improve INetFwAuthorizedApplication::get_ProcessImageFileName stub

Installation instructions:

Up to date Wine Staging packages are available via the developer’s PPA, so installing the software on Ubuntu is easy. Just add the PPA to your system, update the local repository index and install the wine-staging package:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipelight/stable
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install --install-recommends wine-staging

If you want the 64 bit version of wine-staging also install the wine-staging-amd64 package:

$ sudo apt-get install wine-staging-amd64

Wine Staging can be used along wine because it installs in /opt/wine-staging, while the regular wine can be found in /opt/wine.

The installation instructions should work on all the supported Ubuntu systems and derivatives: Ubuntu 15.10 Wily Werewolf, Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet, Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr, Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca, Pinguy OS 14.04, Elementary OS 0.3 Freya, Deepin 2014, Peppermint Five, LXLE 14.04, Linux Lite 2.
