CodeWeavers link: https://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/crossover/rise-of-the-triad-2013
Distro: Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon 64bit
Kernel version: 3.19.0-58
Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 750Ti
Graphics driver & version: Proprietary 364.15
Wine version(s) tested: Wine Staging 1.9.5 via PlayOnLinux, CrossOver 15.1.0
Install notes: Requires dotnet40 (in CrossOver install "Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0") for the launcher to work
If using PlayOnLinux, run the game from/create a shortcut for "ROTTLauncher.exe"
I recommend against using emulate virtual desktop for this: if set, the game icon sometimes pops through.
How well does it run: Quite well (see below)
Details: Was getting around 30-40fps at 1920x1200 with most settings set to "ludicrous", with CSMT enabled. Didn't seem to be a major difference in framerates between the lowest & highest settings. If virtual desktop is not enabled, the game will start minimised. If running the game with virtual desktop enabled, you must also set "Automatically capture the mouse in full-screen windows".
Note: I had a look at this again recently since switching to Mint 18 and the launcher instantly crashes in Wine/Wine Staging. Still works in CrossOver though.
