'Enclave' [Steam] is another Wine-port from Topware Interactive who promised to bring their older published titles to Linux. I'm totally okay with this, and it's currently in Beta.
Wine enables us to play a great many things we otherwise wouldn't be able to, so for developers to actually test it and release their old games with a build of Wine that works well, can only be good for us in the long run.
You can see the Linux announcement on Steam here.
Official feature list:
- Breathtaking combat action
- Amazing 3D graphics with latest Shader technolgy support
- 2 separate story driven single player campaigns: Light and Dark Campaign
- 25+ highly detailed fantasy themed missions
- Secret bonus games
- 12 different playable character classes
- 5 mighty end bosses
- Epic musical score and impressive sound FX Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: g000hThis was in my Steam collection, as part of a bundle I purchased months ago. Good that it has come to Linux, at last. I decided to give it a try for myself, and it wasn't what I'd call seamless to get it up and running.The OpenGL backend is kinda iffy even on Windows, you were bound to have issues after changing to it.
First thing, needed to go into Enclave's properties on Steam, and activate the Beta Access. Once this is done it will install. At the end of the install, it mentions a Mono component that it can install (if you aren't using your distro's package of Mono).
After installing I had a go at firing it up, and the screen was very pixellated and too bright. I managed to go into the Video settings, and change to 3840x2160 32bit.
My Debian 8.6 Jessie (default Wine version is 1.6.2) wasn't happy launching the game, after the main menu. Needed to escape from it, and go into Steam/steamapps/common/Enclave/Game and edit the environment.cfg
Changed the VID_RENDER=Direct3D8 to VID_RENDER=OpenGL
To get the graphics behaving, after setting in the game Video menu, to my display settings, I needed to Quit out of the game, restart the operating system, launch Steam, and play Enclave again. After some more fiddling, restarting, setting brightness low, and still finding the game too bright / wrong gamma settings / and trying some things with xrandr in a terminal.
After this, I'm able to play, and it is working reasonably well (apart from the on-screen colours). Sound, music, controls - all reasonable. Completed the first section of the game "Escape the Dungeon" and ready for part 2, and BLAM... "UNRECOVERABLE ERROR ENCOUNTERED. PRESS ANY KEY TO QUIT."
And that's as far as I could get. I've tried reinstalling the game, running Linux updates, deleting the steamapps/common/Enclave folder after uninstalling, and then doing a "clean" install.
Yes, I'm not a big fan of Wine Wrapped games.
EDIT: Got past the problem.
Okay, so I went back into the environment.cfg and put back the VID_RENDER=Direct3D8
Today, it seems like the Enclave developers have sorted out the brightness issue in the game, and things are looking good now. With Direct3D8 setting, I have been able to play Part 2. I haven't observed any appreciable slow-down running as Direct3D8.
So, for me, it's working okay now.
The one issue I had with the game was that gamma bug which now has a fix (or more like a workaround) and indeed, the game runs very well.

Fwiw, the game is on sale, so the risk/moral quandary is cheaper for the time being.

Quoting: EnverexWhile I used to enjoy messing around with Wine and getting things to work (thank-you Witcher 1), I have far too many other commitments in life to spend all my time just getting games to work, let alone play them. If the devs want to do the wine-wrapping and testing for me, I will happily give them my thanks (and money).Quoting: noinformationhereInteresting. I have this on GOG, where I think I bought it on impulse during some sale. I have never played it, so it would be great if the Linux version makes it there as well...
Well it's literally just a Wine port, so you're better off just getting the GoG Windows version and installing that in your existing Wine setup.
The existence of the wine-wrap does not make the windows version go away, so anyone wanting to customize a wine setup isn't in any way prevented from doing so...

I've got an issue with the brightness. Also it fails to validate some files but then is unable to redownload them. I deleted the game and redownloaded, same thing.

Yeah in my test also see this situation before described, d3d8 is more stable in my test until 3rd mission
