Yabridge (Linux): Tracking important bugs

Please be aware of an ongoing problem with Wine 9.5 and above with yabridgectl. Workaround is to downgrade to Wine 9.4.

Since I’m on ArchLinux, use wine-stable from AUR. You’ll need to modify the PKGBUILD file to change line 119:

BTW…

Robbert still has the VST3 problem in the list under Renoise

I don’t think that’s a problem anymore. Maybe @taktik can have a look and suggest to change it. I did some tests with bridged VST3 Plugins and changing the size works fine.

Yes, that got fixed some years ago, unless this is some new problem that I’m not aware of…

I told him already. I will post a link to that thread. Not that this prevents people from using Renoise on Linux.

Note on this specific topic: I renamed this topic to reflect what could potentially/is a bug that fellow Renoise Linux users should be aware of. Still deciding whether to keep it here or to Help, Support & Bugs.

  • Ongoing problem with Yabridgectl.
  • Since WINE 9.22+, popup windows for VSTs will not work due to an odd behavior with offset cursor position.
  • Seems to be caused by transitioning from X11 to Wayland driver.
  • Workaround requires WINE to be downgraded to 9.21 and below.
  • Another is moving the window to top left of the display (unverified on my end due to running swaywm)

Unfortunately, a worse problem occurs with plugins that are starting to be compiled with JUCE8+.
They use the new Direct2D api v1.3 which is not supported in Wine.
Downgrading will not help here.
This has nothing to do with Yabridge, but I’m just mentioning it as an aside
