Hello everyone,

We just uploaded an updated version of Planescape: Torment for Linux.

Changelog:

Update (19 May 2016)

- The Linux version of Planescape: Torment has been updated with a new Wine wrapper by our Linux team
- New: Updated compatibility with Ubuntu 16.04 and other Linux distributions (you will need to install your distribution's Wine package using the package manager in order to play)
- New: Better Wine prefix configuration and management
- New: Support for running custom commands and .exes in the Wine prefix (great for installing mods!)
- Fixed: Multi-monitor support (non-primary screens will be automatically disabled when the game starts and restored afterwards)
- Fixed: Better support for resolution changing


Since we introduced some new features in our Wine wrapper I would like to ask you for some feedback - especially these of you who use more than one monitor! Check if everything works well and doesn't cause any issues :)

morksig: The paths are definitely reachable. I don't get it.
No need to use LC_ALL=C, game works fine on non-English systems :)

It seems like the variable responsible for the shell's path contains two lines for some reason... What is your default shell? Could you try running the game by executing:

$ bash start.sh

morksig: I used LC_ALL to get English messages ;) Bash is the default. `bash start.sh` gets me the same result.
The problem I can see is that one of the variables in the script responsible for the path results in two lines.

Can you tell me if your 'cd' outputs anything? I have an impression it outputs the directory it enters...

morksig: It actually does.
And that is the issue here, that is a very untypical behavior that leads to an error with our game scripts :)

You can try using the following command:

$ export CDPATH=

Before running the game from the terminal. A different workaround was described here:

talaureth_zethran: How do I change the resolution?
The game only supports 640x480, I believe. That changelog point was about the moment when the game changes your desktop resolution to the game resolution.

But you can install some unofficial mods, like the widescreen mod, but personally I recommend running in the window.
