Changes

Some programs require official Windows DLLs. Most of these are available to download via the (usually) included script, [https://wiki.winehq.org/Winetricks winetricks]. Compatibility lists for most programs can be found on the [https://appdb.winehq.org/ AppDB].

Games which that use DirectX/Direct3D APIs later than version 9 are mixed in terms of support, as many DirectX 10/11 programs run, but many still simply don't run at all.

Some software and games make use of kernel-mode drivers within Windows that are simply impossible to support due to restrictions on how Wine works, mostly having to do with security. These are especially abused by anti-cheat solutions such as GameGuard and certain others that will prevent you from playing games that use them, (e.g. , Nexon) , so your only option there is to run it in a virtual machine or dual boot (and even then, there is no guarantee that will get by their detection).
