Wine gaming broken on Fedora 37 with Wine 8.12? (lemmy.ca)

I just found out that sometime in the last month or so while doing regular updates Wine got bumped to 8.12... (likely from 8.0) and my games have gone haywire: Neverwinter Nights and Diablo2 would kind of start but then halt. Switching to desktop and back unblocks games for the next few seconds and then things repeat.

I've downgraded wine to 7.12 and things are working back.

Question: should I have done some migration step for 8.12 to work properly or is it even a known issue?

I am using PlayOnLinux for Diablo2 with System Wine and Vanilla System wine for NWN.

I only buy games through and play via Steam. No issues here on Fedora 38.

Do you know how I can verify the wine version for Steam? Curious if I am also on Wine 8.0.
