Current state of Linux support?

[sirlucidae]

I'm aware the official release candidate was targeted towards Windows, but I haven't seen mention of Linux anywhere. I wondered if anyone has managed to get IWD2EE working on Linux with Wine? Is a Linux compatible version planned for the future?

Hello! Some users have gotten IWD2EE to work under Wine. From what I recall, the following is necessary:

1. Wine 8.11+. IWD2EE uses the Raw Input API, which only works properly in newer Wine versions.
2. Even though IWD2EE sets up cnc-ddraw automatically, cnc-ddraw's config utility has to be run through Wine at least once so that it can install a DLL override.
3. The resolution popup relies on the MFC library, which isn't included in Wine by default. Putting this DLL in your game folder should allow it work (thought visually it may appear slightly broken):

Wine positive install report:

Installing, running, loading an existing party, creating new characters and making a party, saving a game to file and loading, quicksave and quickload confirmed. No inital game-breaking events to report.

Needed: Complete playback to completion report.

1. Wine below 8.11+ led to cursor and click delay and made the game unusable. Above successful report achieved with wine-9.17 (Staging) installed via .deb from WineHQ APT Repository.
2. Had to manually install cnc-ddraw, followed their instructions from https://github.com/FunkyFr3sh/cnc-ddraw/releases
3. MFC - Did not install separately nor experience issues.
