Winlator 10.2 (Revision 2 Beta) Glibc unstable - Early Access

Released for personal use

Winlator 10.2 (beta)

• Now smaller, lighter, and faster! Save storage with optimized app packaged in 130MB and installed in just 1.3GB.
• Updated latest DXVK Async (v2.6.1), and DXVK-II ULL (v2.5.3.94) focus on ultra low latency ~8ms at 60 FPS, ~4ms at 120 FPS, with slightly lower fps (small performance impact), Improves input responsiveness on NFS: Most Wanted 2012.
  
  Definition:
  What is ULL? Ultra-low latency refers to an extremely short delay or lag between a user's input and the system's response. It's measured in milliseconds (ms) or even nanoseconds (ns).

Input Latency	Gaming Experience	Suitability
0-30 ms	Excellent	Competitive Gaming
30-50 ms	Good	Casual Gaming
50-100 ms	Fair	Non-Competitive Play
100-200 ms	Poor	Not Recommended
200+ ms	Unacceptable	Unplayable

• Updated DXVK HUD scale and opacity options have been added.
• Updated 2 new configuration presets are available: optmx11 for improved graphics and perfx11 for better performance, the choice is yours.
• ZINK_DEBUG has been updated with additional options
• Zink Descriptors has been updated with additional options.
• Updated components now fixed.
• The loading is now way smoother and loads faster!
• Updated Screen size resolutions and wider aspect ratio.
• Updated FrameRate options
• Updated environment variables are now activated by default.

Winlator 10.0 (beta)

• Added missing MPEG-1 gstreamer plugin #269
• Added workaround for Dino Crisis 1/2 video issues
• Updated Box64 (v0.3.4 release).~
• Added native GLIBC for better I/O performance
• Minor improvements to Vortek
• Improved internal Registry Editor (Speeds up container startup)
• Added option to open Android browser from Wine
• Added option to use Android clipboard on Wine

Why does glibc run slower than Proot on some Android devices?

1. glibc vs. Android’s bionic libc
Android uses bionic libc, which is lightweight and optimized for mobile devices.
Running glibc on Android often requires additional compatibility layers, like proot + glibc rootfs, which might introduce performance overhead.
2. Syscall Translation Overhead
Proot uses syscall translation, which can be slow in general.
However, on Android, some glibc syscalls may not be well-optimized or may rely on emulation layers, making native glibc performance worse.
3. Filesystem Overhead
Proot uses overlay filesystems, which can sometimes optimize game data access.
A direct glibc setup might suffer from filesystem incompatibilities on Android.
4. Memory & CPU Constraints
Android optimizes bionic for low-memory usage.
Running glibc-based games might trigger higher RAM usage, leading to CPU throttling or inefficient memory access.
5. Native vs. Emulated Execution
Proot can sometimes optimize syscall handling by redirecting them efficiently.
glibc-based games might not be fully optimized for Android’s kernel, leading to bottlenecks.
