That... I am about to buy it, but only if I can run it on Linux via Wine?

Winehq rates it Gold and Platinum depending on version, so I'd say you have at least a fighting chance.

Since it's rated platinum, I gave it a try.

OS: Debian Jessie
Linux: 4.6.0-0.bpo.1-amd64
CPU: i5-3570K
GPU: Nvidia GTX 660, 367.27
Wine: 1.8.2 and staging 1.9.14

Dead Space just works without any trick. Only the usual crash at the end of installation (GOG installer), but everything seems ok.

I also tried with Wine Staging 1.9.14 + export __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1, and it seems a bit smoother. But I don't have any fps viewer to check it. Every options are in high (max).

To prevent Dead Space to mess up your desktop resolution, enable virtual desktop. This game first starts up at 800x600. You can change resolution later while in game.

I also found that french keyboard layout is completely fucked up. I had to "setxkbmap us intl" before launching game, then "setxkbmap fr oss" after exiting.

I just played 1-2 hours and didn't find out any other bug.
