As to how it's configured, I can't really say. Just wanted to point out that you need these two babies enabled in your Wine to run it.

Since the last time we've talked about this game, I've installed it (on FreeBSD 10.3), tried some things, but always the conclusion was the same. The game runs fine but without videos.

Looks like it's a general issue with this type of video format on wine.

I'll try to make some room on my Linux hard drive (Mint 17.3, I'm away from my Debian desktop these days), in order to check GOG's wine configuration. I'll report back.

This guy here wants to know if Thea runs in Wine. I've only run the old Linux "build" in Linux via Wine - I love this game and want to give the user correct information but don't know for sure.

So anyone have any idea how well the current GoG Win 7 build of Thea runs in Wine / Linux?

Downloaded it and tested. Basically inside the game's "game" folder there are 2 folders named "Game" which contains the TW game data and "Wine" which contains 300mb worth of wine files. There are also 3 scripts (created by the developer not GOG) named "RunGame", "RunSoundConfig" and "RunWinetricks".

Despite all this, it doesn't work the same way "click start.sh and run" as other GOG wine-wrapped games do, as you still have to install Wine for your distribution (also stated on the game's page).

Beyond examining the scripts and the folder structure I can't test the game any further than this as I normally run Wine in a very portable way but my guess is this: The configuration and the hard work is already done, your distribution's Wine package is the required spark to light the fuse.

These are the installed winetricks, which are used by the GOG's wine wrapper. Maybe I'll try again on FreeBSD 10.3 this weekend with all of these installed.

Thanks folks, I'll give it a try so all that would work in POL. As said above, when doing it before I had everything working except for the cut scenes, so I was curious how "official" Linux release manged to make it work.

You're right configuration is what happens.
The scripts create variables, so that the normal wine installation could use the included wine prefix.

There are other scripts too. Check the scripts in "~/GOG Games/Two Worlds Epic Edition/game/Wine/bin" folder. Among the configuration scripts and elf files there is tw1_winetricks. The included version of winetricks. The interesting part is that it's old enough WINETRICKS_VERSION=20140817.

For some reason beyond me, There is no official recent version of Winetricks on Ubuntu-Debian based distros and most probably the devs created this based on SteamOS or Ubuntu.

I see. Thanks.

Debian testing has winetricks 20160425: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/winetricks

It wasn't updated for a long time, and only recently got a new version there.

Thanks. I don't suppose I could interest you in bug 33856 or even a regression test o__O?
