Also works great under Wine, but you have to use the Steam version or find the crack for the standalone version. I think its the usual Linux doesn’t support DRM problem. I’ve been playing the steam version a lot recently while my Xbox360 is away for its second RRoD repair (damn Assassin’s Creed 2, I blame you for that).

Yep. Works all right.

Here’s how it’s done:

Install Steam, let it download Torchlight (demo works too)
On first start, Torchlight will install DirectX 9 – this will stall for no particular reason.
Open up something like htop, find the DX installer and send it a SIGHUP.
Play. Apart from some slight problems with particle effects, it runs surprisingly well :)

Let us know if you get it running. It would be interesting to see if you can get it working under Linux with just Wine. :)

This is *AWESOME*. Yes, I’ve been living under a rock (too much programming stuff – google stonesense and dwarf fortress). They even got Matt Uelmen to make the music. He’s the guy who made the music for the first Diablo game!

I still got the tristram tune in my playlist after all these years :) I’m sure it would be worth it for the music alone.

Damn. Now I have to make this run on Linux.
