Two Worlds: Epic Edition now available for Linux in beta form, uses Wine
7 April 2016 at 6:55 pm UTC

Quoting: leillo1975Perhaps we must left the work to the devs. I found problems with the resolutions, like a lot of games that I execute in Wine. Normally I configure a virtual desktop (wine in a window) and then I change a resolution. Then I uncheck virtual desktop. But in this case I can't execute "Configure Wine" in the game directory

You are right! ;)

I noticed that newer (beta) WINE versions have less problems handling resolution changes: in this case the "official beta" started in 1024x768 and when you switch to FullHD resolution the game shows a broken window and you need to restart it in some ways. Using the newer WINE the problem is absent.

You can run the winecfg command this way (you need to install Wine 1.8), from a terminal:

WINEPREFIX="/yourSteamLibraryPath/steamapps/common/Two Worlds - Epic Edition/Wine/prefix/.config/" winecfg

Quoting: ziabiceI tried to install the game using the vanilla WINE 1.9.7: the game is correctly translated in Italian, but the most annoying DRM in the history failed to activate my copy, so I can't play.
All the other languages are available, too.
Now I'm searching a way to bring all the supported languages to the Linux beta.

Thanks a lot, I´m also searching

Here's what I found:
- Windows and Linux game files are the same: so all the supported translations could be available in Linux (and Gog) too.
- Searching the Wine registry into the Linux game prefix for keys that store the language string or code, gives only false positive

Now I have a question: when the game is started by a Russian user, does it use the Russian language?

I'm Italian, but game runs in English. I analized a bit the game folder and found that it is the GOG version installed using Wine. On the GOG store page they state that the game supports only English and Russian, that should explain the missing languages.

I'll install the game using my regular WINE and tell you if the missing languages are present.

Two Worlds II to get major engine upgrade, new DLC and SteamOS & Linux support
26 March 2016 at 8:04 am UTC

I got Two Worlds 1 & 2 in a bundle or a sale, can't remember, but played only TW2 using WINE: it works very well, but I have played only a couple of hours. The DRM is like "sign your copy using this code", it's annoying.

EDIT:
both TW games are actually on sale on bundlestars into the RPG Champions bundle for 2€.

Life Is Strange looks like it's being ported to Linux by Feral Interactive

Quoting: legluondunetThis game looks very interesting. Someone tested it?

The game works well in WINE, I played it but don't liked it, has interesting bits, but in the end it was boring.

Lifeless Planet heading to Linux this month

I know, I know, don't buy before release, support the developer, etc. etc. but the game is on sale right now on indiegala store for less than 5 €.

Life Is Strange looks like it will come to SteamOS & Linux

I played the game under WINE, it works very well (it's an Unreal 3 game). Overall the game is not that great, my vote is 6/10.

Story is filled with cliches, ambiental interaction is near zero, you'll move into corridors and on rails, the story development is very slow. Some good characterization here and there, but nothing memorable. I was so bored I don't played the fifth episode (the game anyway ends at fourth episode).

I suggest you to buy it when on sale.
