niniendowarrior: Yeah, that's probably a good catch. I didn't even see it until you pointed it out to me now. I'll go update the post with the inxi output.

Gydion: Great thanks. Don't suppose you want to stick that at the top? ;)

niniendowarrior: In addition, I know that Judas™ doesn't really like Play On Linux, but I really love POL and its ability to download several different versions of WINE. Getting a game to run on a specific version of POL Wine is not hard at all.

Gydion: Uhh, sure? Guess I missed something, but speaking of trivially trying different Wine engines... I don't suppose you feel like trying the latest 1.9.x POL has re: the sunlight bug?
I don't have the AC GOG installer anymore nor the time to test. I was just willing to share my experience on a thread that seems right for this sort of info. Would be better to let people know it works than to just sit on this info. :-)
As expected Shardlight runs perfectly in Wine-skin (Mac mini). No winetricks needed of any kind. :)

Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.4 (64-bit)
Intel Iris 5100
OpenGL 4.0
Wine1.7.52
Winetricks: None

Agreed! Thanks again.

AGS game, yes? What engine did you use, and could I get you to add your system info like in this post?

If all goes well, we should be releasing both a Mac-compatible and Linux-compatible version but I have no ETA as to when this will happen so please be patient :)
Game: Legend of Grimrock 2
Installer MD5:
76fa6758d19e6a7ec326a02a56b8d299 setup_legend_of_grimrock_2_2.1.0.5.exe (the installer is already updated to in-game version 2.2.4)
WineHQ AppDB link: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=31115 (warning: old results with almost no instructions!)

Wine version(s) tested: Wine 1.9.5 (i686) from the multilib Arch repo.

Install notes: Requires d3dx9, d3dcompiler_43 (thanks adamhm for letting me know about d3dcompiler as winetricks does not list it in the GUI version :) ), and xact_jun2010 winetricks
How well does it run: Quite well with all the settings on "High".
Details:

First, please make sure you have openal and the 32-bit development libraries installed if you are on a distro that uses the official Arch repositories then you will need the packages "openal" and "lib32-openal". If you are compiling Wine 1.9.5, make sure you enable 32-bit openal. THe reason I mention this is because the various xaudio DLLs will not get registered properly by regsvr32 when you run "winetricks xact_jun2010". I did manage to kind of work around this in a "dirty" prefix by setting the overrides for xaudio2_7 to "native, built-in" but I am not 100% sure that this actually worked so just make sure to properly install openal and the 32-bit development libraries.

Supposedly there is a crash bug when you attempt to go into the Options menu (https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40261 ) but I did not experience this for myself.

I played the game for approximately 2 hours or so and I have not encountered any major issues.

Hopefully I will be taking it off soon, but in the meantime post #2 updated, thanks.
Anybody managed to get Pharaoh running on 1920x1080 in Wine? After playing Lethis I wanted to play a bit of Pharaoh too. Can't get it to run bigger then 1020x768 (ingame settings) and if defaults to 640x480 on start of the game. Virtual desktop emulation does nothing.

known bug: If using the HD patch, going with the DirectDraw 7 or DirectX 9 renderer can mess up the display of the game (it may depend on your graphics driver). It is of course reversible by switching back to the default rendrerer.
Setting a widescreen resolution while keeping the default renderer will not trigger any bug that I’m aware of.

Just found this thread (and subscribed). I'm playing KoTOR II in Wine now, since native Aspyr version is still not here.

Let’s hope it will change soon, now that Aspyr is on board ;)

Aspyr are all eager to release the game on GOG. The problem with KoTOR II is the fact that it involves a lot of parties besides Aspyr themselves to make it appear here. I.e. all those distributors (who compete with GOG) and partners have to be somehow satisfied. I got a response from them that they are working on releasing it here. But it appears to be a very slow process.

Anyone try Sword of the Stars: Complete Collection yet?

Gydion: Anyone try Sword of the Stars: Complete Collection yet?
It's got a good rating on the AppDB, but it's frustratingly vague when it says stuff like, "it works on nVidia, doesn't work on Intel graphics". It makes me think of the earlier complaints about the AppDB on this thread -- if they're going to be stupidly inconsistent about accepting reports then it may as well be useless to people like me.

And also, why is the AppDB not accepting PlayOnLinux reports?
