Great, though I'm now playing Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun for the first time :)

I've never played those games, so no idea. But you can check Wine logging for errors. The name of the library is listed in those messages at the beginning of the string.

Example of something like that:

Quoting: ShmerlLooks like Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Apparently Titmouse was responsible for the title sequence [External Link].
Ah, so it's not a coincidence :)

Titmouse is no stranger to the Avatar universe, having created the title sequence for Avatar: The Last Airbender.

This wine version show more work with quartz, devenum and amstream
mrdeathjr could you tell me more about this?
These are multimedia libraries, which affect video and audio playback in many older games. You often had to install native overrides to get sound and video sequences. If Wine developers fix them - there won't be any need for it.

The open source project 'xoreos' released version 0.0.5 'Dawn Star'

Quoting: oldrocker99I already have BG1, BG2, IWD. and Neverwinter Nights, all from Beamdog. This, I'm afraid, is a solution without a problem.
Baldur's Gate series and Icewind Dale are using Infinity engine, not Aurora. So they aren't the target for Xoreos.

I hope there are no technical difficulties with GOG release.

I didn't notice rendering errors so far. But there are still some hangs happening, even with latest llvm.

Quoting: PsychojauLooks interesting. About PC : It's a trademark.
It can't be a trademark, and even if it is, then it should have the opposite effect - no one would be using it.
