Game: Gothic 3: Forsaken Gods Enhanced Edition
Installer MD5s:
eb7e0af5e5308e96abaf4734ae662c59 setup_gothic3_forsaken_gods_2.1.0.11-1.bin
9219408057a7bc88878a3fbd160b4cf5 setup_gothic3_forsaken_gods_2.1.0.11.exe
WineHQ AppDB link: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=23124
CodeWeavers link: (none yet)
Distro: Linux Mint 18 Cinnamon 64-bit
Kernel version: 4.4.0-38
Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 750Ti
Graphics driver & version: Proprietary 370.28
Wine version(s) tested: Wine 1.9.19 via PlayOnLinux, CrossOver 15.2.0
Install notes: Requires d3dx9_40 (install DirectX 9 Modern in CrossOver)
If using PlayOnLinux, run the game from/create a shortcut for "Gothic III Forsaken Gods.exe"
How well does it run: Almost perfect
Details: Have only briefly looked at this, but appears to have more or less the same requirements, performance and issues as Gothic 3. You may need to restart the game after changing display resolution as it might not change correctly. There's a bit of stutter in new areas as they load but it runs fine after that. There's also a text rendering issue which can make some things difficult to read & PlayOnLinux complains about the game crashing when you quit. Tested with virtual desktop enabled.
I initially tested with Wine Staging, but the text rendering issue is even worse using that (whether CSMT is enabled or not) and it's bad enough to make some text unreadable.
