Hi,

PlayOnMac 4.4 has been released. It now supports macOS 10.15

Feel free to report any bug you encounter.

Some functions added to support some DXVK versions (the list is in our Functions list).

The difference: even on the first run, you only need to explicitly approve software launched in bundles, like a standard Mac app bundle, not for standalone executables or libraries. With macOS Catalina, perhaps more significantly, Gatekeeper will also check non-quarantined apps and files for problems. The downside here is that you can’t run macOS applications and Windows applications side-by-side at the same time. If you just want to run a Windows desktop application alongside your Mac applications, a virtual machine will probably be ideal. On the other hand, if you want to play the latest Windows games on your Mac, Boot Camp will be ideal. In this video, we will show you how to set up your Mac to continue to run 32-bit apps in macOS Catalina with Parallels Desktop for Mac. Click here to downloa.

DXVK ('Direct X to Vulkan') can make the 3D rendering faster, and can fix some compatibility issues between Wine and DirectX.

MacOS 10.15 Catalina is ruthless about launching unknown apps. Unless your app comes direct from the App Store, or the app’s developer got the app notarized by Apple, it won’t launch.Double.

The freemium game Rules of Survival (a clone of PUBG) is currently playable on PlayOnLinux !.

How to Run 32-Bit Apps in macOS Catalina. Apple's latest version of macOS, Catalina, officially ditches 32-bit app support, but you can still run the software you need by following these steps. Download a free trial of PDF Expert – the best PDF software for your Mac. Exe file to install the program. Project Catalyst: Run iOS apps on Mac The two worlds are now merging with the ability to run iPad apps on Mac. 12 is fully compatible with macOS Catalina. You can run a Windows virtual machine or emulator on your Mac.

More than 25 free casual games added, mainly for POL/POM v4.3.4, but some are OK with POL v4.2.12
Most these games are downloadable automatically by the scripts.

Note: latests scripts added and modified are listed in this area (Application tests) of the forum.

PlayOnLinux 4: most of the free games have been tested and repaired.

Note 1 : Some of these games are downloadable automatically.

Note 2 : The free games installables appears in the PlayOnLinux (and PlayonMac) application when you uncheck the 'commercial' checkbox). Sorting is not possible from the website.

Hi everyone!

We wish a happy and successful year! For this first day of 2019, we are glad to release the second alpha version of Phoenicis PlayOnLinux 5.


A new wine builder

We have rewritten from scratch our winebuild platform. To make it short, it is more reliable, more transparent, easier to setup and cross-platform compatible. Any project that needs to use wine could now potentially use it and take advantage of the 1828 different builds. (We admit that some of them are outdated, though).

The winebuild project is open source, uses containers. You can install it on your machine in no time if you want to build wine by yourself.

Support of new wine distributions

Speaking about wine builds, we now support 4 wine distributions:

  • Upstream wine builds are vanilla and unmodified wine (1)
  • Staging wine builds are the wine builds patched by wine-staging
  • Dos support wine builds contains wine and dosbox. (See the next feature)
  • CX contains a wine version patched by codeweavers

We plan to support proton in the next weeks.

All these wine build can be compiled directly through https://github.com/PhoenicisOrg/phoenicis-winebuild/.

(1) Except the very old versions that have a specific suffix is their names, like 1.5.3-heap_allocation_v2-avoid_deadlock, but we are going to move them anyway.

DOS Support

Winebuild now provides dos_support distribution. The way these wine binaries works is very simple: Wine launch script has been modified to detect if the given .exe is Win32 or a DOS executable. If it is a DOS executable, it will set-up a dosbox configuration that will behave consistenly with wine:

  • mount drive_c as C: on dosbox
  • if a autoexec.bat file exists inside the prefix, it will run it
  • support of custom DOS configuration per prefix
  • ...

The script framework has also been modified so that you can tweak some dosbox settings directly from a script. Here is an exemple of 'advanced' script

GoG support

We've added a way to add a web browser view directly inside script wizards. Thanks to this feature, scripts can now authenticate to any website.

Phoenicis can automatically download and install GoG games from your account, as POLv4 used to do during the past years.

A complete demonstration video of gog.com support: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fopp-x9Fz3g&feature=youtu.be

Install

Also, we have made a script pattern for all GoG games: it has drastically simplified them from POLv4. The script are so much easier that we believe that they will be a lot more maintained.

POLv5 scriptPOLv4 script

We are planning to add tons of GoG games in the library so stay tuned!

Installation of verbs directly inside a container

You can now install verbs directly from a wine container.

Standalone packages

  • We are now providing standalone packages that can work on any distribution without the need to install JDK runtime. These packages also remove all the feature that we don't need from the JDK. In the future, there will be probably two sorts of packages, but we want to make things easier for you for now.
  • We now provide macOS packages
  • We also support flatpak

I'd like to thank once again all the developers that helped us during the past weeks, plata, madoar, and also all those of you that contributed by reporting bugs, suggesting improvements, or tested phoenicis-winebuild.

Our next goals is to focus on prefix management (change of wine version inside a prefix, add debugging tools, etc...) and performance optimization.

If you have any suggestion or encounter any bug, we encourage you to come in our Github page: https://github.com/PhoenicisOrg/. This version is still at alpha-stage, so please be indulgent.

I also take the opportunity of this news to also announce you that PlayOnLinux and PlayOnMac 4.3.4 has been released. They have been updated to support the new winebuild system, and the different windows of the application have been made resizable. It should fix the HDPI issues some of you were encoutering. We continue to maintain these versions until you are 100% satisfied with POLv5

Download packages:

  • Linux standalone .tar.gz:http://repository.playonlinux.com/PlayOnLinux/5.0-alpha-2/Phoenicis_5.0-alpha-2-amd64.tar.gz
  • Linux standalone .deb:http://repository.playonlinux.com/PlayOnLinux/5.0-alpha-2/Phoenicis_5.0-alpha-2-amd64.deb
  • macOS .dmg:http://repository.playonlinux.com/PlayOnMac/PlayOnMac_5.0-alpha-2.dmg

Stay tuned, the best is yet to come!

Hi everyone,

Just a short news to announce that we have updated our wine build environement. If you are experiencing issues with our current wine builds (freetype problems, windows too small, ...), this piece of information may interest you.

Pursuing the work concerning the decentralization of our services, we have released a tool than can compile any version of wine directly on your computer or on your server: https://github.com/PhoenicisOrg/phoenicis-winebuild

What are the advantage of this new tool?

  • You can easily use this tool to compile wine from and for any OS (linux and macOS are supported so far, but we also plan to support freebsd).
  • We continue to host wine binaries but in a more standard format than before (.tar.gz archives instead of .pol files).
  • We now provide JSON web services in case you want to have access to the list of the builds:
  • You can track on wine building status: https://www.playonlinux.com/wine/. A JSON web service is also being released.
  • Linux users: Full wine staging support (GTK 3.0 is now fully supported for example)
  • OSX users: 64bit builds are now fully operational.

So what do I have to do if I have problems with the old builds?

Because they are compiled with more up-to-date dependencies, we are expecting the new builds to work better on recent distributions. This should fix most of the problems that you have reported to us recently.

However, we are rebuilding the old packages one by one and it takes time. We advise you to follow the build status here to ensure that the versions you are using are rebuilt: https://www.playonlinux.com/wine/. Then, uninstall your current wine versions from POL and reinstalling them should fix the problem you are encoutering.

As you may have noticed, POL / POM 4 have already been updated to use this new format. If you are using 4.3+, you are good to go

Roadmap

  • We plan to mirror all the builds in / near the United States
  • We will probably provide a web interface so that you can request for custom builds with custom patches. This web interface shall be open source so that you can host it where you want.

  • Source of the new wine build service: https://github.com/PhoenicisOrg/phoenicis-winebuild

Hi everybody,

I'm aware that it has been a while since the last time we gave news to you. Be reassured, the project is moving on and here we are to give you some news.

Today, I am very proud to announce that we have managed to release the alpha version of PlayOnLinux and PlayOnMac 5 (aka Phoenicis). I would like to give my special thanks to those who have continued the work I started few years ago: @plata and @madoar, and many others.

You can download the binaries here: https://repository.playonlinux.com/PlayOnLinux/5.0.0-alpha1

So, what's new?

In one word: everything. First, the interface has been completely redesigned:

Phoenicis is a completely rewritten piece of software that aims to bring you all the features of PlayOnLinux 3 and 4 (a.k.a Arietis) with new principles:

  • The platform is decentralized, meaning that the program will continue working if our website encounters problems. We have chosen to store the scripts on a git repository (https://github.com/PhoenicisOrg/scripts) so that it becomes more respectful of open source principles.
  • The script engine is an important ingredient that made PlayOnLinux so successful in the past. This is why we want to improve it. We need it to be more accessible to everyone. For that matter, it has been completely redesigned. We decided to get rid of bash in favor of Javascript.

This alpha version respects theses principles and supports about 135 games and many other apps. You can see the whole list here: https://www.phoenicis.org/apps

Get involved

We need to go further and find a way to gather your feedback. This is the reason why we are releasing an alpha-test version of Phoencis.

  • If you encounter any issue or want to share an idea to improve the app, you can use our GitHub page: https://github.com/PhoenicisOrg/phoenicis/issues
  • If you want to improve Phoencis, feel free to fork the repository and send your pull requet
  • If you want to add / update a script, you can check this repository: https://github.com/PhoenicisOrg/scripts. If you need, you can even create your own script repository.
  • If you want to help us translate Phoencis, we are using crowdin: https://crowdin.com/project/phoenicis

What's next?

The project is far from being finished. Our next steps are to develop a strong Wine build platform using modern virtualization and/or containerization solutions. Then, we will make a new website (hosted at: http://www.phoenicis.org) so that we can continue giving you the best support we can.
