I guess we can forget about Gauntlet since it says DirectX 10.

Has there been any attempt to fix Xanadu Next? Has anybody tried that game in the newest Wine version?

DX11 got a whole lotta love this last few staging releases. Banished also work on DX11 (but you need to actively delete the DX9 renderer, to force DX11

Does anyone here happen to have Kyn and can check how it runs under wine? There's nothing in the appdb about it. It's one of three possible freebies from the current promo, but I already own Tropico, and am not very enamored of zombie-themed games, so Kyn looks like my best bet if it runs at all...

Seems to run pretty fine out of the box with Wine Staging v2.16 on a clean 32-bit prefix, with CSMT and virtual desktop enabled.

On a related note, it's a Unity game and I got it running rather well with a native Linux Unity runtime. The only, but quite annoying, issue was that the UI didn't scale properly when I switched to full screen.

In fact, I've got a couple of other GOG Unity games running natively on Linux (plus a whole bunch of other ones), and I've been wanting to create a forum thread about it for some time. I might get to it tonight. :)

Thank you very much! That makes my choice a whole lot easier!
The unity thing sounds very interesting - will be keeping my eye out for that thread.

This sounds amazing! I had no idea it was even possible!!

It surprises me how many games are built in Unity, and then published for windows only.

Please do it, I would love to see that ;)

I already did it. :)

The GOG version is up.
POL is fine to use, but directions are not to be POL specific, thanks. Also, pretty sure there is nothing called thingy, i.e. what exactly did you use?

Same for this one.

Also, AppDB just added a Workarounds section to the test results for any winetricks & such.

will add them tomorrow

Thingy's are very powerful magic :P
