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...
Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
Quoting: liamdaweI am only able to do this for games I own, I do not own this game and Topware don't give me keys to any of their games. Can't write about what I don't have :)
HERE
you can find some Topware crap (ahaha just kiddin' ) for dirt cheap if you want to give it a try!
i runned TW2 with wine a month ago or something, quite cool that they are porting two world 1 too!
BTW I SERIOUSLY HOPE THAT THEY WILL REMOVE THAT CANCER DRM ASAP :><:

Consider using a CSMT Wine for this game, as it can offer a greater performance (compared with the stable version they're using):

If its optimized and runs seamlessly then I don't mind them using Wine, provided it shows up as a buy-able item under Linux Steam in the end. Then credit goes to Linux platform which needs less stat culling when it comes to active gaming data.

Have you informed the developer of the performance difference with the version of WINE you used?

Using CSMT update performance improve so much as others said
However recording at 48fps needs around 17 a 20% of cpu on practical terms this represent 8 and 10 fps performance loss in my machine depending game
Before CSMT Update

With CSMT Update

Test in both around 40min and dont crash in both tests
System Specs Used in Tests
Nvidia Drivers 364.15 (run package)
Xubuntu 16.04 64Bit - Kernel 4.4.0-18 generic (ubuntu mainline) - P-State: Performance
CPU: INTEL Pentium G3258 (Haswell 22nm) 4.1Ghz + Artic Cooling Alpine 11 Plus
MEMORY: 8GB DDR3 1333 (2x4) Patriot value (dual channel: 21.3 gb/s)
