Has anyone else tried to install AC on linux? I am running LinuxMint 13 (maya) with Cinnamon, using wine with an emulated desktop.

It seems to go okay until right after the attempt to install physx. Whether I let it install PhysX or not, I get a dialog box with no text and no title, and what looks like four buttons, with the fourth one cut off by the edge of the box. The four buttons say OK, Cancel, Abort, and on the fourth button the text "Ret" is visible. Nothing else happens.

The fourth time I installed it, I decided to turn off the emulated desktop, and I also instructed it to perform a file integrity check before install. It passed the integrity check. Same problem.

I played (and completed) both Assassins Creed and Assassins Creed 2 on Linux, though they weren't the GOG versions.

I'm happy to test GOG's AC1 for you when I get home, if you like.

Here are some tips from me.

First of all.
I suggest you to run GOG installers with nogui flag.
example: $ wine setup_assassins_creed_2.0.0.19.exe /nogui

Second.
When PhysX installer show up cancel it.
Use winetrick to install it.
example: $ winetricks physx

Third.
There is problem with DirectX 10 games.
To get around this you can do that.
Move DX10 executable and link DX9 in it's place
example:
$ mv AssassinsCreed_Dx10.exe _AssassinsCreed_Dx10.exe.orig
$ ln -s AssassinsCreed_Dx10.exe AssassinsCreed_Dx9.exe

That's it.

Thanks a ton, I'll be sure to try it over the weekend!

Wine 1.7.30 on Ubuntu (via launchpad) has a regression in that the sunlight in this game is way too bright. It's making the world bleached white. I used POL and downloaded an older version of Wine to fix this issue.
