Two Worlds: Epic Edition continues Topware Interactive's push into Linux with their older titles. It is now available in beta form, and it uses Wine.
Writing on their Steam forum the developer said:
QuoteHello everyone,
the Wine port of the game is almost ready for public release. The game was tested on a SteamOS, Ubuntu 15.10 and Arch Linux, however as you know there are many different Linux flavors, not to mention hardware configurations, therefore they might be some issues not yet discovered and thus resolved.
I encourage those of you who already have the game in their library to test it, any feedback will be appreciated. Beta access code is:
TW1LinuxBETA
If you encounter any problems please attach TW1.log.txt (located in game folder) as well as a short description. Thank you!
I think it's really great they are doing this for older titles. Wine is a powerful bit of software and extremely useful when used correctly. Not every developer has the resources to port older titles, especially when it won't make much money. I definitely applaud what they are doing with older titles.
About the game (Official)
To all intents and purposes you're an unscrupulous bounty hunter and mercenary - but the search for your sister takes you back to your roots.
At the beginning of your epic adventure, a mercenary task takes you to the far north - but you're also following up a mysterious lead at the same time - the first clue you've been given since Kyra's disappearance. You get a shock during a meeting with the delegates of a dark Brotherhood - your sister's kidnappers are indeed after your family's relict. Whether there's any truth in your family being chosen ones or not, the others obviously believe it - and if you ever want to see Kyra alive again, you'll have to act swiftly...

To me, Wine is a perfect solution to "port" this old games. I don't have any problem if this game works perfect and the support is good.
I love a lot of good old games and I happy if I can play it in Linux without complications. Only click on install and ready to play.
I don't have idea if Two Worlds is a good game, I have it in my Library since Christmas 2014, probably it arrived with a Bundle

Agreed... and I seriously hope that more developers/publishers consider doing this with their older catalog just to spare end users (especially SteamOS ones) the hassle of manually configuring WINE.

Agreed! The important thing is that we can play and have quality support.

I have zero problems with "wrapper ports" as long as they feel like a native game. I prefer wrapper ports over no ports.

I see the first issue in this beta. The game runs in English and in the Steam Store shows that Spanish language is included. In game I don't see where I can change it.

I'm Italian, but game runs in English. I analized a bit the game folder and found that it is the GOG version installed using Wine. On the GOG store page they state that the game supports only English and Russian, that should explain the missing languages.
I'll install the game using my regular WINE and tell you if the missing languages are present.

Is it a simple matter of applying the beta and start downloading? I'm having that missing executable error.

I get missing executable also. I entered the beta code, which validated, and selected the beta. The download was 0 bytes though. I imagine it will start updating at some point and download the files.

I guess we'll have to wait and see. ;)
