[Bug 56470] New: Wined3d has windows always sitting in background
by WineHQ Bugzilla Feb. 27, 2026

Feb. 27, 2026

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56470 Bug ID: 56470 Summary: Wined3d has windows always sitting in background Product: Wine Version: 9.5 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Windows Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: d3d Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: mirh(a)protonmail.ch So.. as I always do every few month, I try to see if wined3d finally holds a candle for helping with games in Windows. This time I was surprised by a constant 30FPS lock, despite the fact both my game of choice settings and the external tools profiles for its executable didn't have one (indeed if I removed wine's dlls, native d3d9 could easily get almost 10 times as much framerate) Long story short, after some time banging my head I figured this was happening because "Background Application Max Frame Rate" was enabled in the nvidia control panel. Problem being of course that a foreground fullscreen window definitively isn't supposed to be affected by that. This does not happen with normal opengl games (even after I renamed their exe, just to be extra safe about whitelisting and whatnot) so it seems something on your side of things. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

[Bug 57736] New: WineHQ Forum fails to load resources from twemoji.maxcdn.com

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57736 Bug ID: 57736 Summary: WineHQ Forum fails to load resources from twemoji.maxcdn.com Product: WineHQ.org Version: unspecified Hardware: x86-64 URL: https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=146295#p14629 5 OS: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: download, localization, source Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: www-unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: imwellcushtymelike(a)gmail.com Distribution: --- At https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=146295#p146295 I used a UTF-8 emoji "????". Emoji are part of the Unicode standard but for some reason phpBB tries to replace it with an SVG. <div class="content">If there was a like button I would like your reply! <img alt="????" class="emoji smilies" draggable="false" src="//twemoji.maxcdn.com/2/svg/1f60a.svg"></div> ..ironically the alt renders correctly (for me anyway). twemoji.maxcdn.com is a dead host so we get the lovely "failed image" icon. Apparently it's a phpBB bug that isn't yet fixed, but can we work around it? https://tracker.phpbb.com/browse/PHPBB-17059 I don't think the reliance on third-party SVGs is necessary, especially these days. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

[Bug 39005] New: "http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes" default value

Maybe the "namespace-prefixes" and "http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes" are two different features? Perhaps it also makes sense notify Microsoft about the inconsistency. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
