Bottles 65.0 Update Brings D7VK, Frame Generation, and 100+ Changes to Linux Gaming
Bottles 65.0 has arrived with over 100 changes and the new Soda v11.0-4 runner, marking the largest release in the project's history. Sole maintainer Mirko Brombin delivered D7VK support for Direct3D 12, lsfg-vk frame generation, and a new "Eagle" malware scanner across the massive update. The Flatpak-only app now offers deeper Steam integration, dedicated sandbox improvements, and NTSync threading detection for better Linux gaming performance. Despite the scale of 70-plus commits from a single developer backed by 13 contributors, the project remains focused on stable, sandboxed Windows compatibility via its custom Wine fork.
