I just found out that sometime in the last month or so while doing regular updates Wine got bumped to 8.12… (likely from 8.0) and my games have gone haywire: Neverwinter Nights and Diablo2 would kind of start but then halt. Switching to desktop and back unblocks games for the next few seconds and then things repeat.
I’ve downgraded wine to 7.12 and things are working back.
Question: should I have done some migration step for 8.12 to work properly or is it even a known issue?
I am using PlayOnLinux for Diablo2 with System Wine and Vanilla System wine for NWN.

My games are using separate prefixes. My NWN install did not use lutris or POL as for some reason both POL and lutris refused to properly install it.
I was more looking into whether others observed similar issues with Wine 8.12 specifically so that it can be raised in Wine’s bugzilla
