Hi,

can anyone confirm successfully running the Avernum: The Complete Saga games under the WINE emulator?

I am a Linux only user and opt buying these games. I cannot get the original demos from Spiderweb Software to run under WINE though, hence my question.

Regards

Ok, made progress, so that I am now able to play the original Spiderweb Software demos for Avernum 1-5 and Blades of Avernum. Only the sixth game in the series won't run using WINE, probably due to change of the engine, if I did conclude correctly.

So, did anyone get Avernum 6 to run in the emulator?

Wine Is Not an Emulator; for a start.

Try asking it to run in a virtual desktop or the non-dx executable.

Tried both, didn't work.

But meanwhile I jumped in at the deep end anyway and can confirm that all games run under Wine! Avernum 1-6 and Blades of Avernum that is.

Nice work GOG, thanks a lot!
