Woot! I'm playing Dreamfall... In Linux!

I got Dreamfall running on Linux.

 

There are some visual problems, (due to wine’s 3D implementation still being very much in the works) and it’s not very stable yet… but it’s definitely playable… playable, but a bit buggy.

 

Most things work (pixel shaders, volumetric fog, special kind of lighting, e.g. 'halo' effect for lamps), except for certain lighting effects. The most serious bug is that the in-game videos don't work, which means you might miss out on some crucial parts in the story. Oh, and anti-aliasing doesn't work... :|

 

But still, to be able to actually play this recent title on Linux! Amazing... I'm at chapter 4 ATM and didn't encounter any real problems yet...

 

Needed to run it:

- Wine version 0.9.19

- Copy 2 dll’s from your Windows XP system directory into your wine’s fake_windows directory, as explained here: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217780

- start winecfg and check the box ‘enable pixel shaders’ (or something like that) under the ‘Graphics’ tab.

- run the game: wine dreamfall.exe (dreamfall.exe being an, erm 'modified' exe ... attention! This may or may not be legal in your country, check your local laws before trying this!)

 

 

Wine FTW!
