The Old God N’Zoth has been unleashed from his titan wrought prison, and an ancient corruption has taken root across Azeroth, turning friends into foes and trapping warriors’ minds in nightmare visions of a hopeless future. As despair and madness consume the land, the heroes of the Horde and the Alliance will need to fight for their sanity—and the fate of their wounded world in this content update.
ShadowLands is live. Sylvanas and the Jailer in together, to bridge the world of the dead with Azeroth.

What works
Everything that I tested works:
- Starting the game
- Logging in
- Character selection/creation
- Server selection
- Adjusting in-game settings
- Questing and dungeons (70 to 100fps with graphic quality set to 8)
- Raiding (around 40 fps with graphic quality set to 8)
- All addons I tried (ElvUI, TSM, BigWigs, etc.)
- Auction house
Installation from Battle.net application works (of course, this means you need to get it running through wine first...)
Update through Battle.net application works

Additional Comments
This test is an update of my last one following several wine and dxvk upgrade on my side. Following comments are still relevant:
Since several versions, wine staging and dxvk uses PE format for libraries, which requires them to be build with mingw support (obvious for dxvk which does not compiles without it, less obvious for wine whichcompile fine but does not allow game to run). Enabling mingw involves creating a crossdev environment. i can only recommend to follow gentoo wiki for it since it can be quite tricky ( https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/DXVK ). Once mingw compiler and libraries are fine, you can compile dxvk, and wine with mingw support. With current dxvk, I needed to upgrade my mingw compiler to version 10 (I used gcc 11 this time).
I used to have lots of random crash while playing in previous versions: I took the habit of compiling wine with "-march=x86-64" (instead of -march=skylake in my case) which used to fix the issue (I'm not
sure it is still relevant).
I'm running WoW (-d3d11) from a fresh wine prefix for wine staging 7.0, with dxvk 1.9.3 install on this wine prefix, and using nvidia drivers 470.94.
Windows is set to version 10 in winecfg, CSMT is disabled and winetricks is not used at all.
Those variables are set: WINEDEBUG=-all DXVK_LOG_LEVEL=warn STAGING_SHARED_MEMORY=1 STAGING_WRITECOPY=1 __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1
I used to run WoW (and Battle.net) from a NTFS partition using ntfs-3g to mount it. I recently formated it to use ext4 instead (using rsync to move data away before, and move data back after). For now, I don't believe it made any difference from a stability or performance point of view.
