king_mosiah: Anyone been able to get Jade Empire running in Wine?
I hadn't tried, but I have now :p Although I haven't had time to do much more than download it & get it running (however it does seem to run very well from the few minutes of it I've played so far)
Game: Jade Empire Special Edition

WineHQ AppDB link: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=4978 CodeWeavers link: https://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/crossover/jade-empire Distro: Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon 64bit
Kernel version: 3.19.0-47
Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 750Ti
Graphics driver & version: Proprietary 361.18
Wine version(s) tested: Wine 1.9.2 via PlayOnLinux, CrossOver 15.0.1
Install notes: Mostly a case of "install & run".
When the installer asks if you want to install DirectX, click no.
If using CrossOver, disable "Performance Enhanced Graphics" (aka CSMT)
If using PlayOnLinux, run the game from/create a shortcut for "Jade Empire.lnk"
I recommend against enabling virtual desktop - if virtual desktop is enabled then MouseWarpOverride will need to be set to "force" (and with this set you will need to navigate the menus using the keyboard)
How well does it run: Seems to run very well
Details: Have only briefly tested it but there were no obvious problems. If using a Wine version with CSMT (e.g. Staging or CrossOver), CSMT *must* be disabled or the game will stutter.
