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...

Quoting: ziabiceQuoting: subIs this a Winelib port or the Windows game packaged and preconfigured in Wine?
Runs in a WINE sandbox.
Thanks!
I'd really appreciate if Liam could add that bit of information in future articles of "uses Wine" ports. :)
At least when that information is available or he has access to the game.
Imho Winelib ports are actually not really a bad thing (for old games at least) while just packaging the
Windows binary is quite *meh*.

Quoting: ziabiceYou can run thewinecfgcommand this way (you need to install Wine 1.8), from a terminal:
WINEPREFIX="/yourSteamLibraryPath/steamapps/common/Two Worlds - Epic Edition/Wine/prefix/.config/" winecfg
Thanks a lot. In the game folder there are not "winecfg" executable, but with your command It runs ok.
Ahhhh, I can confirm that Steam Controller works (in wine I can't use it) like keyboard+mouse

Missing executable :\
I wasn't that excited, tbh.
I got it cheap a year or two ago, ran it in wine, and my thoughts amounted to "this feels kinda janky, and why is there a first-person mode when combat always switches to third? ...ok, now I guess I went to the wrong area, and now I'm stuck in a death loop. Great."

I 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 :)

I love that you used the word "janky" in a sentence. :D I don't know about this game, but you, sir, get 10/10.

I dunno, but it performs REALLY BAD on my end.
Less than 20 FPS, constantly.
I'll try tweaking this a little bit, but it doesn't look good for me now
