Bard's Tale Trilogy in Wine?

[thom_bardstale]

With the recent 1.09 patch comes an option to force opengl

Maybe that makes things easier? It's not yet on GoG, though, that usually takes a little while.

Thanks! I've been waiting for 1.09 to come to GOG. Can't wait to try it out!

Nice! I'm going to try 1.09 soon too.

Trying to run the game with native Linux Unity player (matching version), ended up like this (at least it doesn't complain about the renderer anymore):

I had to take mscorlib.dll from the Windows build of the game. May be it's OS specific?

Hi. We're not currently officially supporting WINE atm, but the 1.09 Steam Beta has been released and you can turn on OpenGL renderer with a commandline option:

-force-glcore

I've heard opengl can make it easier to get things working in WINE.
If it doesn't help, I'm afraid there's not much more we can help with atm.... all our resources are focused on the BT2 release atm.

Once all three classics have been re-mastered, is a Linux and Mac port planned?

Entirely up to InXile.
I'm can't comment on that for now.

[Flammon]

Hey inXile, if you're reading this, I'm a backer and I'm ready to pay for the Linux version of the trilogy even though it's already included in my rewards.

[ryanmusante]

Created a whitelist request for Proton (Steam Play) on Github. I am not having any problems currently with 1.09 beta.

Same here. I'd pay for a native Mac-version and I'm also a backer.

It freezes for me even in windowed mode so there's more work to be done before it can be whitelisted.

Roger that, please post with report on github. I encounter the same problem with windowed, just tried it now.

[Flammon]

Everything works when setting `-force-glcore` to the launch options!

You might be having issues as Proton requires nVidia drivers 396.51 or higher for DXVK (which it'll be using if you're not on 1.0.9 with -force-glcore)

[shmerl]

I already mentioned this above. You need to use virtual desktop when playing it in Wine+dxvk (so same for Proton I assume).

Has anyone gotten Bard's Tale Trilogy to work with Crossover? I'm using the GOG version of BT, and it won't install under Crossover. Does the Steam version work better?

Do you mean on Linux? See above, it works with WineHQ builds of Wine on Linux. So I assume if Crossover enabled Vulkan support in their version, you can also use dxvk with it.

No, I mean on macOS. Crossover supports Wine 4.0, so whatever that entails.

[shmerl]

MacOS is in bad shape with Vulkan support, so I don't recommend it. Linux is a lot better than MacOS gaming wise, including full support for Wine. So either use Linux, or wait until developers will release native versions, which so far isn't even clear if they plan to.
