Sunless Sea needed badly translations in languages other than english to be enjoyed by a non-english speaker, let's hope that with this game they let at least the users translate the game...

I played this game using WINE since long ago (and it works very well), but having it native is a good thing. Let's hope it happens soon!

Quoting: legluondunet"This new edition combines all five episodes of the original game into one complete and continuous story."No, only the "Dreamfall Chapters" storyline is here, "the longest journey" is a game on his own, with which this game has storyline continuity.
So this edition integrates the first episode: "the longest journey"?

Honestly, I can't see any "improved performance" on my rig. And also this game need more translations so bad.

Audio/video under WINE: people usually forget that WINE uses GStreamer for deconding, then you should install all the plugins (-good, -bad, -ugly in the Gstreamer naming) to have proper decoding, you have to do this for 32- and 64-bit. Also you need (as in Windows) to install the Windows Media codecs (WMP9, 10 and so on).
Dragon's Dogma: I played the game some months ago (with WINE 1.9.x if I recall correctly), there were some problems plus random crashes, but the game worked best using Gallium Nine. I had a big problem with input (the mouse stopped working randomly), but I discovered that installing "dinput" solved the problem.
EDIT: fixed typos

Quoting: tuxisagamerHey, speaking of Steam in wine, anyone get the text in the web browser/ storefront to display? It's not the old -no-dwrite issue nor does it seem to be no -no-cef-sandbox.I just experienced this issue: in a 32 bit prefix, if I set the Windows version to "Windows XP" everything works as expected, if I switch version to "Windows 7" fonts disappears

Instead my 64 bit prefix doesn't work well: with latest Steam update, the store isn't rendered at all. Also fonts have strange rendering. I can access my library and install games and play, but that's it...

It's not the old -no-dwrite issue nor does it seem to be no -no-cef-sandbox.To me, Steam works well only in a 32 bit prefix, using "Windows 7" profile. I'm using an old prefix I created lot of time ago, so I don't know how many things I installed to make it work. Since the last Steam update I get lots of "steamwebhelper" crashes, but everything is usable.

Using Playonlinux in a 32 bit prefix, I had to install xna40, which I think installed .NET 4.0 and the game worked like a charm! :D

Quoting: qptain NemoYes, you are right! Before reading your comment I tried again to run the game.Quoting: ziabiceMy biggest disappointment about WINE is that UnderRail [External Link] is still unplayable :(It does run [External Link]. Just retested!
Make a clean 32 bit prefix, install corefonts, .net 3.5 and 4.0 using winetricks, and you're good to go! (not sure if 3.5 is necessary for Underrail but you'll have a nice .net-enabled prefix that might be useful for other games)
Although I realize now you might be talking about some gameplay issues. In which case could you elaborate on what they are?
