wine 3.0, Steam, and Titan Quest Anniversary 1.54
Assuming the game was purchased on Steam, let’s install it in wine.
winetricks -q corefonts d3dx9_42 vcrun2005 vcrun2008 vcrun2012 vcrun2015 steam wine steam.exe -no-cef-sandbox -no-dwrite
Winetricks is only needed to setup Steam on the default wine prefix the one time. The second command must be used to start Steam every time.
The game normally uses all of those vcrun-times although Steam is fine with just vcrun2008 and vcrun2015.
If the intro movies play but the game menu is black, or blank, run “winecfg”. In the “Applications” tab add a rule for “TQ.exe”, by navigating to the game file, and set the windows version to “Windows XP”.
Fix missing textures (invisible brazier with hovering flame at menu, etc.):
I wanted to use TQVaultAE and that’s when things got complicated. TQWorkshopTool.exe uses dotnet4 but runs fine with default Wine Mono. TQVaultAE requires dotnet35.
The only viable solution I came up with involves running dotnet35 in a separate wine prefix. See my blog post about wine and dotnet winehq-stable 3.0 and dotnet#.
That solves one issue but now TQVault can’t find the Titan Quest path. To fix it create and import this file into the dotnet3 wine prefix registry.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Steam] "SteamPath"="D:/program files/steam"
In windows, TQVault needs to register VXPLib.dll. Issue this command in the dotnet3 wine prefix, and TQVault folder, to do so:
I used CheatEngine to give myself “9999999999” XP/Attribute Points/Skill Points, maxed my skill tree, bumped Health/Energy to 15000 and Strength/Intelligence/Dexterity to 1500.
With the “Steam Workshop” mod “All Items 2.0 (Final) The Store”, I grabbed Tartarus gear, Kydoimos, Deimos, Phobos, Myrmidon’s Pendant, Apollo’s Will, the Star of Elysium, and Serpent Whisper.
No reason to fight the mobs of monsters anymore, so I looked for a “no random battles” type cheat. Best I could come up with was a custom mod to reduce monster re-spawn rate.
Run ArtManager.exe. On first run it automatically opens “Tools -> Options” which prompts for the default folders. In wine they should look like this:
Working Directory C:\users\[user]\My Documents\My Games\Titan Quest - Immortal Throne\Working\ Build Directory C:\users\[user]\My Documents\My Games\Titan Quest - Immortal Throne\ Tools Directory C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Titan Quest Anniversary Edition\ Export Statistics "checked"
Select the “Mod” tab and “New…” Make the name “nomobs”. Select the “Database” tab (middle of the window separating the bottom pane). Open menu “Database -> Import Record”. Expand “records -> xpack -> game” select “gameengine.dbr” and click “OK” to import it into the mod.
At the top-left expand “nomobs\database -> records -> xpack -> game” and double-click gameengine.dbr (in the right pane) to open it in the database Editor. Select “Proxy-Info”. These are the values I used:
spawnMin 1.000000 spawnMax 1.000000 spawnMinModifier 50.000000 spawnMaxModifier 50.000000 championMin 1.000000 championMax 1.000000 championMinModifier 50.000000 championMaxModifier 50.000000
The changes will be in the “gameengine.dbr” column. Double click the field to bring up the “Editing Variable” window. If no value exists then click the “New” button and enter the “Value”. Click “OK”, CTRL+S to save (menu “File -> Save, File -> Close…”, then exit the editor.
Open “Editor.exe”, select “Mod Name:” “nomobs”. Expand “Source” and select “Maps”. In the “File Name:” field (below the tree view) type “main” and click “OK”. This will open a blank map. Menu “File -> Save All, File -> Exit”. This saves the map into our project. The mod cannot work without a map.
The “Art Manager” should be visible. If not, re-open it, and select the mod. Click the “Sources” tab (middle of the window separating the bottom pane) and select “Maps”. In the right pane select and right-click “main.wrl” then choose menu option “Auto-Create Asset”. With that done hit “F7” (menu “Build -> Build F7”). The bottom pane should indicate successful build. Close the “Art Manager”.
To run the mod, start Titan Quest, tap the button “Play Custom Quest”, select “nomobs ~ main.map”, then tap the “Start” button. The game will warn the map file is invalid and that this is likely a “Bounce Mod”. Tap “OK” then “Start” to play. This “mod loading” procedure is required every gameplay.
Steam doesn’t log achievements for custom quests which is probably best since I’m cheating.
In winehq-stable 3.0, and with an Nvidia video card using proprietary drivers, the game crashed every hour or so. Could have been my setup. Anyway, it was some kind of memory leak with a “GL_OUT_OF_MEMORY” error occuring before the dump.
Titan quest on linux
I haven played the Original «Titan Quest» for years and that was on a Windows OS. Now I have a Linux distribution and I always buy games with Linux-Support.
Is there a Linux-version (and also for Mac-Users) in planning?

Game uses DirectX for graphics and sound so they would have to replace those with OpenGL and OpenAL. Not a small task I presume.

+1 for linux. Sadly, for now, trully native port is unaccesable, cuz of engine, but there are lot of guys, does wine-like ones (aspyr, etc), so.

Thanks for the free update! Haven’t played the steam version yet, but spent many hours playing with my physical copy. 🙂
+1 for GNU-Linux version, if it’s doable.

I understand why you guys want that, but unless the developpers are familiar with wine, it’s probably not going to happen.
