It seems Topware Interactive are continuing their Linux push with their classic games and I've noticed a few more that seem to be coming.
- World War II: Panzer Claws
- World War III: Black Gold
- X-Blades
Those titles all recently appeared on SteamDB, which isn't confirmation, but we already know Topware are planning to release as many of their classic titles on Linux as possible. They already done a few recently too.
It's likely they will all use a pre-configured version of Wine like their previous classic titles that came to Linux. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: enzI hope that they not only release a Wine wrapper of their games once but also support them properly.Have you tried to adjust the resolution from the safe mode?
I bought Two Worlds and it worked well initially but after I needed to re-install it after a computer and Ubuntu upgrade, it no longer works because it starts up with a default resolution of 1600x1200, which is not supported by my monitor and leaves the computer in an unusable state.

Quoting: dubigrasuHave you tried to adjust the resolution from the safe mode?
yes, but in safe mode, it only offers windowed 4:3 resolutions up to 1280x1024 and I couldn't change the settings to fullscreen and my native monitor resolution and it would suck to play this game in windowed mode.

Quoting: dubigrasuThere's a small box you need to untick for 16:9 resolutions.I know, but it doesn't add more resolutions. What happens is that no matter what resolution I choose, and whether I choose fullscreen or not, it always switches the X server to a low resolution, then opens a window with a higher resolution and the game menu is only partially visible and cannot be used with the mouse.

Quoting: enzHm, I do have both ratios here...is probably the game itself screwing up the detection for your monitor. But you can (try to) use the "RunWinetricks" script inside the game folder to put Wine (winecfg) in virtual desktop (at your desired resolution) and start the game that way. Eventually after setting the res put it back on non-virtual desktop.Quoting: dubigrasuThere's a small box you need to untick for 16:9 resolutions.I know, but it doesn't add more resolutions.

Quoting: DrMcCoyQuoting: DamonLinuxPLIf someone ever port The Witcher 1 to Linux - this should be native port. Because game use old Aurora Engine and this engine have support for Linux and OpenGL API.CD Projekt RED completely replaced the renderer, though, making it use Direct3D. They'd need to completely rewrite the renderer again, to OpenGL, because theirs uses features not available in the old renderer.
As for middleware... It uses SpeedTree. No idea if it supported Linux back then and/or if the old data files are an issue.
In short, porting The Witcher 1 won't be easily.
Quoting: KeyrockI find it much more likely that T will be what eventually allows us to play this game.Sorry if I sound like a broken record, but we still need more contributors. :P
Witcher 1 already plays fairly well under Wine, but Xoreos needs to happen for so many more reasons! Pretty sure NwN 2 at least runs terribly in Wine. But having tools and updated engine bits would be awesome.
