It also enables the Direct3D multi-threaded command stream and multisample textures by default and adds support for game controllers through the SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer), as well as support for loading command-like-only .NET binaries. Wine 3.3 also packs a total of 35 bug fixes, improving support for the Max Payne 2, Cosmology of Kyoto, Secret Files: Tunguska, Secret of the Luxor, Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper, Pingu, Rust, Pettson and Findus, The Witcher 3, The Witness, Magic The Gathering Online, Just Cause 2, and many Klik & Play games.
