Bottles, an open-source tool built on Wine that lets users run Windows applications and games on Linux with a user-friendly GUI, has released version 63.0.
This update addresses several stability issues. It resolves a crash caused by zero-byte ghost files and fixes an interface freeze during app installation. Issues with missing executable paths and icons have also been corrected.
Flatpak integration has been enhanced as well with more reliable availability checks for extensions, including Gamescope, MangoHud, and OBS.
Proxy support has been added for downloads, allowing Bottles to operate in restricted or proxied network setups. Plus, the application now automatically manages manually added fonts at startup.
Desktop integration has been improved with more reliable desktop entries and Steam shortcuts. Command-line launching is now fixed by resolving an issue with shlex.quote in the terminal handling code.
Additional updates include alphabetical sorting of the bottles list, improved registry backup handling by ignoring temporary files, and fixes for ICO to PNG conversion. Translations have also been updated.
