Thanks. I'm trying to install the deps meta-package but I'm getting some errors on that as well about the missing
ia32-libs package that seems to be required by it here:

EDIT: posting full error message, was able to resolve some deps manually but the libs
libjpeg8
libsane1
ia32-libs

do not seem to have any canidate for Debian Stretch here.

Well, it's intended for Ubuntu 18.04/Mint 19.x so it's not surprising that it doesn't work with Debian due to missing and/or differently named packages... to install Wine's dependencies on Debian I'd recommend adding WineHQ's repositories and installing one of the builds from there.

Those 3 libraries seem to have the following replacements under Debian Stretch / Buster:

libjpeg8 -> libjpeg62-turbo
libsane1 -> libsane
ia32-libs -> lib32z1 lib32ncurses5

ia32-libs is gone for good. You need various :i386 packages to replace it.

All wrappers have received another small update with some minor fixes.

Wrappers are now available for Dead Space, The Longest Journey, RiME and Tropico 3.

Nice! 2 out of 4 aint bad!

Thank you sir!

Fantastic! Thank you, adamhm! :)

The wrapper for Outlaws has been updated and now uses cnc-ddraw for its main menu & video playback. With this update a virtual desktop is no longer necessary to prevent them from changing the system's display resolution; instead they will now be scaled up to fit the display rather than run in a small window.

Is it the project used by Proton for scaling?

No, this is just a ddraw wrapper. Proton actually has big issues with scaling up games using ddraw, otherwise I'd have probably just used that instead.

Excuse me for repeating myself from a while back, but with the Witcher 3 70% off (not quite 80% as per the recommendation) I'm again wondering if the game is running flawlessly (or near enough) in Linux.

I loved the first two games (especially the first, which is a true masterpiece) and a friend is raving manically about the third, so I'd definitely want to give it a whirl at some point. Is it ready?

It is ready. It runs very well, as long as you have latest Vulkan drivers and Wine+dxvk. I didn't use esync for it, and it worked fine.

Feel free to also ask this thread if you need any specific assistance: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/forum/topic/2753

If using AMD, I recommend using kernel 5.0-rc7 and Mesa master. There were some important performance gains in amdgpu/radv which help.

Thank you, that sounds really good and it's probably time to pull the trigger :)

Don't have an account over there yet, so hope it's okay I ask here. I have Geforce 770 and picked the 410 drivers from the PPA. Do I need to use the 415s instead? Is it stable and suitable for GTX 770?

I see adamhm has a Witcher 3 script, so I guess that would be safest approach?

The Witcher 3 runs great on Linux now with Wine+DXVK :) For Nvidia GPUs the 415.x drivers are recommended.
