1. Wine-Wayland Child-Process Rendering

Expanded and Rebased Wine-Wineland Integration

Imported additional cross-process DMA-BUF, Vulkan, EGL/OpenGL, and child-window composition fixes from Erhan Bilgili / nanomatters, preserving author headers and source references. This extends the child-process rendering already present in 11-6; it is not its initial introduction.

The additions cover producer/consumer lifecycle management, attachment and replacement ordering, presentation geometry, linear DMA-BUF fallback, configure completion, popup handling, minimized/hidden windows, and toplevel sizing. The resulting child-rendering series contains 85 numbered patches, including GE follow-ups and adaptations from other authors. Import/rebase commit, source and integration notes.

Specific EGL fixes retire stale frame callbacks after detach/reattach, defer ordinary swaps without a live toplevel, avoid applying both native EGL throttling and Wine's manual throttling, recreate EGL surfaces after role transitions, and supply a fallback context when applications release their WGL context before SwapBuffers. The fallback-context adaptation credits Paul Gofman.

Purple Launcher and Embedded Games

• NCSOFT Purple navigation/render stalls: fixed the class of failures where login or game-selection content appeared only after maximizing, restoring, or moving the window. The final work coordinates native presenters per HWND, retires background Vulkan probe presenters locally, and preserves GDI content over native rendering. This avoids letting an unrelated probe take over or stall the actual display surface. Earlier unsuccessful iterations were superseded. Final rendering fix, preceding integration. The user confirmed the launcher-rendering fix.
• Lineage II game running without a visible window: added presenter coordination and changed the Wayland event dispatcher to use a system-thread lifecycle. System-thread support includes work credited to Alexandre Julliard and M0n7y5, with GE integration and follow-ups. Commit. Later fixes ensure system threads do not keep a process alive after its last user thread exits.
• Forza Horizon 5 login and black-screen failures: restored the cross-process rendering path needed by its WebView2 login UI, kept unwanted background windows unmapped on wlroots/X11, and added cross-process selected-cursor handling for child login windows. The old FH5 noopwr exception was removed. Commit, issue #459. The session confirmed the menu and login window displaying; the commit also addresses the subsequently reported missing cursor.
• Marvel Rivals launcher flicker: DXVK now retains its swapchain and last frame on transient VK_NOT_READY / VK_TIMEOUT, retrying on a later acquire rather than continually recreating the swapchain. This accommodates the managed child producer's nonblocking backpressure. It also fixes fresh-swapchain pending-state and fence bookkeeping. Commit. Included, but the patch notes still require runtime retesting.

Black Screens, Workspaces, and Surface Lifetime

• Fixed opaque child surfaces being obscured by their backing windows, distinguished actual GDI overlays from backing SHM, and corrected opaque-content geometry classification. This addresses Hyprland black screens and the related workspace-following behavior. Initial fix, workspace fix, follow-up, issue #725. The issue includes later NVIDIA/Hyprland confirmation, not just AMD reports.
• Improved opaque carrier surfaces to permit direct scanout. Issue #734 contains positive testing in Dead by Daylight and Lethal Company, but also a subsequent disappearing-window report. Do not describe every direct-scanout configuration as conclusively verified.
• Fixed output-removal locking/lifetime behavior that could deadlock the event thread after a monitor power cycle. Commit, issue #731.
• Removed user-lock/surface-update inversions, recovered presentation after surface transitions, and prevented background or replacement swapchains from prematurely destroying the selected presentation owner. These changes are shared infrastructure, not launcher-specific environment-variable workarounds.

2. Windowed, Fullscreen, Resize, and Cursor Fixes

3. DS5 / DualSense and Other Controller Fixes

• New Sony-to-XInput game defaults: Capcom Fighting Collection, Capcom Fighting Collection 2, MARVEL vs. CAPCOM Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics, Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, and Tetris Effect: Connected. btegs, PR #726, merge. Tetris's earlier DS4-spoof change was superseded by the final XInput setting.
• eFootball: enable the Sony HIDRAW XInput compatibility path for DS4/DS5. 5991b9be, #756.
• Dragon Age: Inquisition: enable the same XInput path and remove the older game patch it replaces. 57cfd72c.
• Grandia, Grandia II, and Lunar: replace DS4 identity-generation spoofing with Sony XInput plus the Steam Input fallback. cb77b502.
• VitaPad: wired VitaPad is exposed as a DS4 by default, not through a new opt-in. Translate its actual seven-byte input report, including sticks, face buttons, D-pad, digital triggers, and rear-touch button mappings. Unsupported rumble/gyro/touch features are not invented. Requires host HIDRAW access; the distributed VitaPad v2.0.0 protocol is the supported mapping. 197f299d, #691. Protocol credit: carlelieser, with mapping corroboration from deadbeef7.
• Rebased the existing Sony audio/haptics/hotplug stack against current Wine, retaining behavior and removing an overlapping hotplug patch already supplied upstream. 2bad9078, rebase notes.

4. Video Playback Fixes

5. Steam Overlay

• Cursor restoration after closing: refresh the game's cursor state when leaving the overlay instead of leaving an unwanted desktop cursor over gameplay until an Alt+Tab. Reproduced with Marvel Rivals. 55957c05, #724. The user confirmed it after selecting the correct test build.
• Fractional-scaling coordinates: add fractional-scale protocol handling and translate between Wayland logical coordinates and the overlay's pixel coordinates. This fixes the mismatch where the overlay looked scaled correctly but its mouse hit targets still behaved as though the desktop were unscaled 2160p. 8ba3d8e9, #717; #728 was a duplicate.
• Focus restoration and Steam Input identity: use a separate root-level X11 InputOnly focus window instead of focusing the renderer's InputOutput drawable, which could cause Mutter to deactivate the native Wayland game. On seats with a keyboard, keyboard focus now governs bridge focus rather than mouse hover keeping an inactive game marked focused. Shared by the Vulkan and native EGL paths. fb769bc5, #754.
• VRR and flickering: retain the presentation owner between swapchains rather than tearing it down during transient replacements. This complements the focus fix. cf707135, #753, #754. Both discussions contain successful retests, including after the component rebase.
• Related layered-overlay fix, not exclusively Steam: make WINE_LAYERED_OVERLAY_INPUT_SHAPE=0 genuinely click-through for transparent ALPHA-mode windows rather than leaving a full-window input sink. SHAPE mode is unchanged. Thaylor Santos / thaylorz, PR #760, d6a21ffd; addresses symptoms reported in #752.
• Screenshot/focus crash report: #749's null-output-pointer Wayland window-state callback fault was identified as covered by the earlier state-update fix, 2ffdc134. The report also contained VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST; closing it does not prove every possible screenshot-related GPU fault fixed. #749.

6. Protonfixes and UMU Database

7. Additional Fixes and Integration

Mono, Launchers, Authentication, and Installers

• Purple without Winetricks .NET 4.8: teach Mono to distinguish explicit zero FieldRVA entries from missing field data and preserve by-reference TypeSpec signatures in reflection. Add Wine's missing SQM machine identifier while ensuring fresh prefixes receive distinct values. These address separate startup exceptions rather than suppressing them. e5d50b87. Wine-Mono preparation/build integration now extracts a clean source tree, applies patches, and rebuilds the affected runtimes; cached source archives are reused without a checksum pass, as requested. Historical README validation notes are not a claim that every WPF feature is supported.
• SP Football Life / eFootball Settings.exe: resolve unspecified icon dimensions before choosing an icon frame, avoiding System.Drawing.Icon selecting a malformed large frame and aborting startup. Rebuild and package the affected System.Drawing class library. 9acec1ec, build integration, #675. The patch includes regression fixtures; the source notes do not establish a completed end-to-end runtime test for every Settings.exe variant.
• Purple authentication / SWTOR launcher and installer: correct PFX machine-keyset/provider information, choose the actual container key spec, reject unsupported NCRYPT-only private-key acquisition, and pump thread user messages during synchronous URLMon binding. Restore these patches to prep after they were accidentally omitted during a rebase. f4f8507c, dde9418a, f0c72c6e, #722.
• VC++ 2005/2008 runtime installation: make the relevant WinSxS runtime DLLs replaceable instead of leaving them as read-only linked files. Addresses vcrun2008 installation, not an unsupported claim that every redistributable problem has the same cause. 152c53f5, #705.
• Warcraft III: Reforged authentication: support modern and legacy CERT_CHAIN_ENGINE_CONFIG layouts without dropping existing exclusive-root semantics. Addresses the misleading "check your VPN" login error. Stathis Papadopoulos / Statharas, PR #765, 507af3e4, #763. Backports credit Hans Leidekker and Yuxuan Shui; the additional compatibility/test patch records Codex as its author. The submitted PR's documentation reports a completed build, ABI probes, trust-regression checks, and successful user authentication; those were not rerun for this summary.

Game Compatibility and Stability

• Diablo IV periodic freezes: refresh cached power status asynchronously so battery monitoring cannot repeatedly block game threads. 421391b7.
• Hades native Vulkan: restrict the extra-swapchain-image workaround to DOOM, then use supported per-present-mode three-image capabilities on Wayland instead of incompatible legacy limits. 798d767f, 2e7dfa89.
• Path of Exile / Path of Exile 2 native Vulkan: extend that gated three-image compatibility path to avoid the startup "unsupported backbuffer image count" failure. Uses actual host capabilities, excludes DXVK/VKD3D instances, and does not hide real swapchain images. d8522c3c.
• DOOM Eternal HDR flicker: allow safe reuse of an idle cached Vulkan client surface even while the application retains references to old VkSurfaces. Keep the attachment stable unless the actual role/parent changes, preserving DMA-BUF feedback and avoiding repeated surface replacement. Retain isolation for other applications' probe surfaces. 1c5199e7, adapting Etaash Mathamsetty's caching work. The patch explicitly calls for runtime retesting.
• Forza Horizon 6 startup: keep builtin amd_ags_x64 selection ahead of the native-version heuristic. 910e88f7, d80450dc, #730. Its child-window black-screen work is covered above.
• The Witcher 3 DX12 startup: temporarily patched the VKD3D-Proton optimized raw-buffer UAV clear regression, then removed the local patch after updating to an upstream fixed version. 62fce828, removal 145bfdee, #720.
• AI LIMIT DX12 black screen: narrowly scoped compatibility handling lets the inspected UnityPlayer build reuse existing DXBC compute variants when the game has no DX12 variant. Keeps the DX12 device and does not modify installed game files; unknown module versions are left untouched. 12450e41, #736. Rendering restoration was demonstrated during diagnosis; the Wine-hook patch itself notes further validation with original assets.
• Max Payne new-game crash: add CPU-detection compatibility handling. f44cb95e. Distinct from the already-upstreamed intro-video issue #607.
• Return to Krondor text: correct text bitmap readback. 072d46e7, #587. Its intro-video fix was June's 658ac276, before this range.
• NASCAR 25: add compatibility changes for the updated game's startup/protector failure. 619 Motorsports, 3333403d, PR #747.
• Space Marine 2 EAC startup: recognize EOS/EAC launcher executable names properly. c678c99d, related #740. This is launcher compatibility, not disabling anti-cheat.

General Wine, Input, and Launcher Behavior

• Clipboard: backport Aaron Yourk's OLE32 stale-handle fix and tests, addressing long-standing copy/paste failures including Space Engineers. 7d669f75, GE #531, Wine MR !10889.
• Wayland keyboard layout: follow the compositor-provided keymap rather than using an incorrect inferred layout. Reporter confirmed the fix with Wayland enabled. 1e1016bf, #309.
• UMU / lsteamclient: disable lsteamclient for UMU launches unless UMU_USE_STEAM=1 is explicitly set; correct the earlier inverted behavior. facd70e7. Also return a normal initialization failure if native steamclient cannot be loaded rather than asserting, including affected Faugus/Winetricks prefix-creation paths. 7e719edb, reported separately in the #721 discussion.
• QueryPerformanceCounter: add a user-mode TSC fast path. Haeris31, PR #759, d3642203. GE's 7a3a89fe excludes ARM64EC from x86-only code, fixing the reported ARM build failure. Do not generalize an individual benchmark to all games.
• Serial devices: implement IOCTL_SERIAL_GET_DTRRTS. Haeris31, PR #761, 077ee215.
• Low-latency layer packaging: use a relative library path, integrate reset/patch preparation, and document LOW_LATENCY_LAYER. Tariq Alashaikh / sleepytariq, PR #742, PR #758.
