I normally don't do this, but since I am aware of at least one user who usually uses wine who seems to be playing this game, I thought I'd ask here rather than putting off getting this game to work until the next time I get around to it alphabetically (probably a year or more given my current rate of retesting): Has anyone here run this game on wine, and if so, what version and extra steps were used? All I have gotten with this game with various configurations (stable and latest devel and older stable and staging and with or without wine-nine and/or d3dx9 native overrides) is an abort with something to the effect of "source\Quest\Display\Driver\D3D9.cpp at line 2354 HRESULT: 0x8876086C (Facility: 2166, Code: 2156))". The only search hits I get for this are related to Win10, and the solution (run at least once as admin) makes no sense for wine, since you're always running as admin.

edit: never mind. I forgot one of the steps in deactivating wine-9. Doing the right thing there got past the error. That's what I get for trying to spend as little time as possible on the problem.

You mean you're playing on Mac, right? The original Quest game was a bit slow on Wine on Mac as I recall but I suggest you contact the developer at www.redshift.hu.

Yes, Linux. Thanks for the reply. Wine is properly, fully installed. I will look into what is going on later. I am cut off for at least two weeks now thanks to COVID-19 panic, so it won't happen any time soon.

It just worked for me with no issues (other that the game using up more CPU than it really should, which caused overheating issues on my desktop and made my laptop's battery drain faster).

Both systems are running Debian Buster, with "wine-4.0 (Debian 4.0-2)" as the wine version, and both have Intel CPUs and integrated graphics (i5-4670 on my desktop and a more recent Celeron on my laptop).

I believe that there are no winetricks in common between the two installations.
