rtcvb32: I was about to comment that thankfully this isn't the iOS which won't let you downgrade, but since it's Apple... i couldn't say. (Not to mention how much each version of the iOS breaks almost all software that it's utterly impractical)
As such i'll just hope that a simple fix or update in WINE will allow compatibility to resume. If not, well it might be time to pester Apple/Microsoft for better support...
rampancy: From my understanding, the issue isn't specifically with WINE per se, but its with WINE's usage of X11 for graphics on OS X. In any case, it's a somewhat moot point as the main three end-user-friendly implementations of WINE on Mac OS X -- CrossOver, Porting Kit/Wineskin, and PlayOnMac -- all have been updated to work on El Capitan for a while now. As such i'll just hope that a simple fix or update in WINE will allow compatibility to resume. If not, well it might be time to pester Apple/Microsoft for better support...
It's all on GOG now to release updated Wineskin wrappers for their WINE-based OS X games -- on paper it should be easy, as the 2.6.1 wrapper update has been out for a while now, and thanks to Galaxy it should be even easier to ensure that those games are updated quickly and easily. (And you are using Galaxy, right? Because everyone knows how awesome and wonderful Galaxy is*...) In practice I suspect it would be harder, as GOG would conceivably have to QA test all of their Wineskin-based games with the 2.6.1 wrapper against 10.11 on their test Macs in their compatibility lab.
