​This wine version solve a input bug present in constantine pc game (i test this game around more than 8 years) and keyboard input dont work but now finally work







however this dont solve other issues in game like: mouse view dont work correctly and some times crash in cinematics in my case

​something more for who use virtual desktop like me, wine add new command (without this command dont show start menu and taskbar)

before:

DXVK_HUD=devinfo,fps,version,api DXVK_FRAME_RATE=60 DXVK_LOG_LEVEL=none DXVK_CONFIG_FILE=/home/linuxdesktopx64/dxvk.conf WINEDEBUG=-all wine Appetizer.exe

now: 

DXVK_HUD=devinfo,fps,version,api DXVK_FRAME_RATE=60 DXVK_LOG_LEVEL=none DXVK_CONFIG_FILE=/home/linuxdesktopx64/dxvk.conf WINEDEBUG=-all wine explorer /desktop=shell,1024x768 Appetizer.exe

with this start menu and taskbar back to appear normally, however in my case appear another virtual desktop window but this is easily removed, kill first explorer.exe in wine task manager

on dx9 compatibility up in my case***, however i think stay related to replace** d3d8.dll - d3d9.dll - d3d10core.dll* - d3d11.dll and dxgi.dll

*also duplicate d3d10core.dll and renamed as d3d10.dll will be usefull for some apps

**this replacement must be putted in respective folders aka 32bit libraries on windows/syswow64 and 64bit libraries on windows/system32

***since sometime will be needed in some cases put dxgi as native in winecfg but now solve various titles like this:























































and dxgi as native is no more required in my case


this is a little test to show dxvk 2.4 on dx8 side
