[PATCH v7 0/1] MR10052: dinput: Return DIERR_UNSUPPORTED in dinput_device_Escape
by Viktor Balogh (＠viktorb) Feb. 9, 2026

Feb. 9, 2026

At least Thrustmaster wheels are known for using the Escape method for communication between the driver and the game. This is not utilized by every game, but one that does is RaceRoom Racing Experience (RRRE). RRRE uses it to query/set the wheel range and set force strengths. The problematic part is the wheel range query, because the returned value (0) is not the real range and that throws off the internal logic of RRRE's engine and causes the wheel to snap in one direction. Returning DIERR_UNSUPPORTED clearly indicates that the call failed and RRRE no longer tries to use these methods for interaction with the wheel. Returning DIERR_UNSUPPORTED is also aligns with the behaviour of `hid_joystick_effect_Escape`. Captures of what RRRE used are available over here: https://github.com/Kimplul/hid-tmff2/issues/165 See this issue for more context and the resolution: https://github.com/Kimplul/hid-tmff2/issues/39#issuecomment-3104689106 -- v7: dinput: Return DIERR_UNSUPPORTED in dinput_device_Escape https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/10052

[PATCH v4 0/4] MR10060: Draft: comdlg32: Use XDG Desktop Portal for native file dialogs
by Alexander Wilms (＠Alexander-Wilms) Feb. 9, 2026

Feb. 9, 2026

This adds XDG desktop portal integration for Wine file dialogs, with compatibility fallbacks, and solves https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51134 I used an LLM to create the patches, the wiki does not contain an LLM policy, so I don't know if this is eligible to be merged at all. I used the following sources: - https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/win32 which contains the markdown sources for e.g. - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/menurc/resource-compiler - https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/sdk-api which contains the markdown sources for e.g. - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/commdlg/nf-commdlg-geto… - https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal - https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus to determine what calls are made when choosing Save As, since it initially didn't work - Wine logs from manual testing after adding extensive TRACE calls: - Wine `notepad.exe`: `GetOpenFileNameW` / `GetSaveFileNameW` via portal - Wine `wordpad.exe`: `GetOpenFileNameW` / `GetSaveFileNameW` via portal - [`hammerplusplus.exe`](https://ficool2.github.io/HammerPlusPlus-Website/index.html) (32-bit): `IFileDialog` (`IFileDialog2_fnShow`) Open/Save As via portal - `SumatraPDF.exe`: Open via `GetOpenFileNameW` in auto; Save As uses `GetSaveFileNameW` and falls back in case of the auto policy, but uses portal when forced (WINE_FORCE_PORTAL=1) - `notepad++.exe`: `IFileDialog` (`IFileDialog2_fnShow`) Save As via portal after result-path handling fixes Implementation: - Add a portal backend in `comdlg32` for file open/save requests - Add portal handling for `GetOpenFileNameW`, `GetOpenFileNameA`, `GetSaveFileNameW`, and `GetSaveFileNameA` when requests are compatible with portal features - Route compatible `IFileDialog`/`IFileOpenDialog`/`IFileSaveDialog` paths through the portal - Keep native Wine dialogs in case of unsupported/customized dialog options - Add a combobox to `winecfg` to select the policy for XDG Desktop Portal file dialogs: auto / always / never ![image](/uploads/2a1ded4968485e84aebfc1f0ceed0aa4/image.png){width=900 height=486} ![image](/uploads/0c70d44a21fd9334de55ce64ccb4fa9b/image.png){width=900 height=486} ![image](/uploads/5f3821abbf42809cafd5edbcb343b0f8/image.png){width=485 height=600} -- v4: comdlg32/tests: add IFileOpenDialog FOS_PICKFOLDERS runtime check https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/10060

[PATCH 0/2] MR10058: ntdll: Spawn main thread as a separate thread.
by Rémi Bernon Feb. 9, 2026

Feb. 9, 2026

This makes sure macOS main thread is a Wine thread as in https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/9579, while keeping its event loop usable for GUI, and makes every other platform work the same. Their main thread is parked for now, but the idea is to use the poll loop for various unix side internal purposes, such as winewayland pipe polling, compositing, etc. On macOS the main loop would be used similarly. -- https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/10058

If you have a good reason for doing that explain yourself, otherwise stop. This MR looks perfectly fine to me. -- https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/10052#note_129223

[PATCH v2 0/1] MR10054: mf: Don't perform preroll if we are scrubbing.
by Brendan McGrath (＠redmcg) Feb. 9, 2026

Feb. 9, 2026

Tests on Windows show that a preroll isn't requested by the media session if rate is zero. This MR changes media session to match that behaviour. -- v2: mf: Don't perform preroll if we are scrubbing. https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/10054
