This includes the current version of Torchlight and all updates for version 1. Since older binaries are no longer available once the install sources are updated, it makes no sense to maintain separate versions.

So my steps
~Before Install
# winetricks dcom98 vcrun2008 mono24
~Installed Game
# cd ~/.wine/c/Programme/Runic\ Games/Torchlight/
# wine Torchlight.exe SAFEMODE=1
~ Go to Settings--> Enter desired resolution, select ok and game will error out.
# winecfg
~ Select Graphics-->Emulate virtual desktop | enter resolution for game
# wine Torchlight.exe
Worked flawless for me!
Please, when making comments and submitting test results, please include where you got the installation files. It is confirmed, there seems to be enough of a difference in the installation files between different sources of where you can get/buy torchlight, so again please note that in your comments and submissions.
HOWTO
1. Buy and Download installation file from either Gamersgate.com or Steam, "torchlightgame.com" and "perforctworld.com" versions will install but will NOT run.
4. download http://www.runicgames.com/uploads/safemode.zip, extract the files and run the .bat file using wine
5. either run winecfg and configure Display to run in emmulated desktop, or use the command line $ wine explorer desktop=Torchlight,1280x1024 "c:\program files\runic games\torchlight\torchlight.exe"
Forgive me for the moment until I can confirm the above $PATH stuff again, but I am doing this from memory. I have yet to succesfully run this game as I have the torchlightgames.com version. All comments are welcome and if you have new information for this howto please also note it in the comments section so we can maintain a properly updated HOWTO.

only runs from install

The game ran fine after install (GoG version), when it asked if I wanted to run the game. However, after that, it's always crashing:
Humble Bundle VI version
by Jim Salter on Sunday September 30th 2012, 20:26
I'm running Ubuntu Precise x64. Very vanilla. Downloaded the Windows version of Torchlight from my copy of the Humble Bundle 6, ran the installer in Wine, and poof - instant gratification. Everything works flawlessly. No tweaking was required.
Torchlight way too dark
by Zombirate on Wednesday September 19th 2012, 10:53
After a lot of struggling I've managed to get Torchlight to work, but now I have a new problem - Torchlight is too dark. Everything, from the loading screen to in-game, and menus/HUD are affected too. It's not the black texture problem, as I can see the textures, they're just way too dark. Is there any way I can fix this?
GOG version of Torchlight working great
by Little Girl on Friday July 6th 2012, 22:16
We got the GOG version of Torchlight and are using it in Kubuntu Lucid Lynx and Ubuntu Lucid Lynx with absolutely no problem. Everything is working and the game runs smoothly and looks beautiful. We didn't have to do install anything from Winetricks to get it to run, but it's possible we already had what we needed installed. Either way, it was a quick and painless installation and it behaves as though it's native.
Does not require winetricks
by Jamie Nadeau on Thursday June 21st 2012, 10:03
I've compiled version 1.5.6 from git and have had no issues with installing steam, then letting steam setup directx and the visual C++ runtime. Runs perfectly without any issues on Arch Linux. There was no sound at first but that's because I was missing lib32-alsa-plugins and lib32-libpulse on my 64 bit system.
Unhandled page fault
by azure on Wednesday May 30th 2012, 15:00
Platinum?? All I get is "wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x7f77b31b at address 0x7f77b31b (thread 0009), starting debugger...
Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x7f77b31b in 32-bit code (0x7f77b31b)." Furthermore, a quick Googling proves I'm hardly the only one, and there is NO working fix available: just guesses and conjecture. I would love to actually have this game (or anything at all) work in wine. The fact is that wine is and always has been pretty terrible software. While not directing my comments at anyone in particular, I'd like to take this opportunity to point out a few things...
1) I have NEVER succeeded in having wine properly run ANYTHING I've wanted to run. The things it will run are things for which there are numerous superior Linux alternatives. As such, I've never had any use for wine.
2) Wine is often advocated as a reasonable means of playing Windows games on Linux. But on the rare occasion it works at all it usually only does so after significant tweaking and hacking. This proves wine has never gone beyond alpha/beta software. Windows, after all, does not have a problem running Torchlight. So if wine is successful in the least at pretending to be Windows, then the end user wouldn't have to spend hours hacking at wine in the misguided hope it will magically start working. For those of you who find some success, you're lucky, and that is all.
3) The wine community/developers/etc. are apparently completely disorganized or possibly even dishonest. Take for example Torchlight's platinum rating. It is a joke! If a piece of software has a platinum rating that is supposed to mean it works immediately or with only very mild, simple, reasonable tweaks, perhaps. Am I mistaken?? However, this game is peopled for years with users who have the same "unhandled page fault" error over and over again. There has NEVER been any serious fix for this problem. No one expresses any understanding of it in any forum or comment section. All you get is, "Oh...uh... It works for me... Uhm... maybe try these random things..." One gets the impression you'd have better results praying for it to work or lighting incense as an offering to the computer deities so they'll un-break wine.
4) This article lauding how well wine allegedly works for Torchlight contains a broken link to part of the instructions and the referenced file isn't available anywhere. Then you have random comments around the 'net claiming you don't need safemode.zip anymore. No one says why this is supposedly the case. No one explains why after NOT having it and NOT running it this error continues to occur. Who even knows what is in the file?!?
5) Considering that I have tried NUMEROUS versions of wine with NUMEROUS pieces of software over MANY years and across MANY distributions of Linux from Ubuntu to Gentoo only to discover that NOTHING EVER WORKS AS ADVERTIZED I'm completely at a loss as to why wine is even continuing to be maintained. Functionally it has NEVER been maintained or done right in the first place. If it can neither run a VERY popular, three-year-old game nor even adequately explain why it won't/can't, then it clearly is very poorly supported and maintained by a largely incompetent group. Meanwhile, it would seem a great deal of time and effort has gone into this website which is mostly filled with completely misleading information giving people the FALSE impression that software works with wine that clearly does not. It would be much more honest to advertize wine as perpetual beta-ware and explain to end users that they'll likely have to become expert in every aspect of wine, windows api, the particular software they hope to run, etc. And they better have time and talent to take the VERY buggy wine application and somehow build a bridge between it and the particular piece of software they hope to run. After all that, they'll likely end up either deciding to do without the software or just configuring a dual-boot system so they can run it in Windows. Actually running things in wine with consistent success is about as likely as winning the lottery. Sure, it happens every day for some people, but for any given person it is more likely to prove to be an irritating waste of time and effort.
All that being said, I sincerely hope the "wine people" eventually get their acts together. After so many years of consistent failure, I'll be rather surprised if they do. Part of the problem is likely that in trying to mimic Windows one is already trying to mimic a broken, unholy mess! And that is fine and reasonable. But be honest about the extreme limitations of wine. It is truly pathetic to rate it platinum for a very popular three year old game that actually will not run for a HUGE number of people. If that rating is accurate, then on a scale from one to ten wine's "platinum" is a three or a four and there is no rating above that. It is ridiculous to have outdated information on the main page for the game (broken link to non-existent, allegedly no longer needed file). If someone has the magic words to say over my system to actually make Torchlight work with wine, I would be extremely appreciated to learn them. As it is, I'm likely stuck playing Torchlight on my Windows laptop, because I'm only here hoping to play Torchlight on my Linux desktop. I AM NOT here to help wine developers debug their code and join the team working to build the bridge between wine and Torchlight. I have REAL work to do. During my free time I like to relax and sometimes play video games--not take on MORE work in the hopes of EVENTUALLY playing the video games. Had winehq been honest about the alpha/beta state of the support for Torchlight, I would not have even tried to set it up. Having been misled, I've now wasted time I could have been playing working pro bono to debug code that hasn't worked correctly since the wine project began years ago.
Crash on start up - unhandled exception.
by Zootal on Wednesday March 7th 2012, 15:56
I have never been able to get this to work, no matter what wine version I have. It starts, goes to the Torchlight screen showing you the three charactor types, and then I get:
Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x00000000 in 32-bit code
The console shows: wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000000 at address 0x4be3b2 (thread 0067)

Fresh install on Ubuntu 11.04. I'm on 1.3.20 with directx and vrun2008 installed. Game installed and runs fine, however I get intermittent sound loss. To get sound back I need to restart the game, but not wine. There is no relevant output in terminal. I am running with the safemode=1 option.

versions
by Simon McVittie on Monday April 18th 2011, 11:31
Maintainers: would you consider splitting this game up into versions according to the publisher it was obtained from? It seems the various versions are not compatible, and some versions are better with Wine than others.
I can confirm that the JoWooD (international) DVD release can be made to work, and many people seem to have had success with the Steam version.
Can't see character nor criters
by Thomas Courbon on Saturday February 26th 2011, 16:03
The game run fine out of the box with 1.3.14 but it's rather unplayable since you I can't see my character (What I see is his axe and buckler floating around). Mobs are invisible too.
This is with Ubuntu 10.10 and fglrx.
As I'm quite new in this area I don't know if I missed something (which is likely given the platinum status of the game) or if I've hit a genuine bug.
Cannot install [GamersGate demo]
by MS on Wednesday November 10th 2010, 17:28
Hi, I'm new to Linux, Ubuntu, Wine etc... but I've been reading to learn how to do stuff. I have Ubuntu 10.10 and Wine version 1.2.1. I downloaded the GamersGate demo v1.15, downloaded winetricks and did the "sh winetricks vcrun2008 d3dx9" instructed, they downloaded and installed. Couldn't download the safemode.zip because link is broken and couldn't find the file elsewhere. When I try to install, the installation gets stuck when trying to install the C++, after a while it gives me an error message saying that the game task information could not be found and to look for the GDF file and reinstall. Tried to do the "kill -HUP vcrun" but the terminal stated that arguments must be process or job ID. Can someone shed some light here?
dark scenario and netbook mode

hey all, i was having a graphic problem with the game, the game was running very fluid but the scenario (backgrounds,ground, buildings) appears completely black, only the characters and some lights appears properly, but i checked the "netbook mode" and now it works perfectly :S, i have a desktop PC. I'm commenting this here in case someone else is having the same problem.
Steam demo
by Dan Kegel on Tuesday August 10th 2010, 11:27
I tried the Steam demo under Wine, and when I ran it the first
time (cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/torchlight; wine torchlight)
it worked great, but fairly often it just silently fails to launch.
WINEDEBUG=+relay might nudge it into launching more often, not sure.

Not working properly....
by William on Saturday March 20th 2010, 17:04
I followed the walkthrough for installing Torchlight, however, when I try to run the game after installation, it doesn't launch. Instead, I get this error.
Had to disable vertex shader in winecfg. Lowered all graphics settings to minimum. I've tried running from 800x600 to 1280x1024.
Had to set mmdevapi = none in winecfg to make the sound work.
SAFEMODE=1 does not work at all.

We need a regression test
by Maciej Warnecki on Tuesday February 23rd 2010, 8:18
Please, visit the fire bug's bugzilla site and make a regression test - I'd very much like to do it myself, but it's nearly impossible - I run Arch 64-bit, and as such it has no 32-bit libraries I could depend on for building wine from git. I'd need to create a separate fake 32-bit installation in my /opt, but since it's on a different partition, it's impossible - symlinking is not possible. Theoretically, it could be possible to fix that, and i'll try - but it would be 20x times easier for somebody not running Arch, and in particular 32-bit distro.
Please visit the fire bug's page to get more information.

32-bit libraries for NVIDIA drivers
by Maciej Warnecki on Saturday February 13th 2010, 7:51
After becoming hopeless with no chance to running the game, I finally found a solution for the crashes which occured right after running the game - for those who aren't able to run the game even with the above advice (winetricks packages, safemode, etc.), make sure you have 32-bit libraries of your graphics drivers if you use 64-bit distro. On my 64-bit Arch, after installing package named "lib32-nvidia-utils" the game works like a charm, even in Fullscreen mode. There is no sound, but that's a completely different story.

However, I'm running the game published by Runic Games, and my settings.txt is not really in plaintext... what gives?

Big Fire Fix
by Seamus Riordan on Sunday January 10th 2010, 17:44
The descriptions for particle effects appear to be stored as individual files in Pak.zip in the main Torchlight directory with the executable. If you delete the appropriate files out of the archive it disables the effect and the game doesn't seem to mind.
To get the town fire, mine torches, and a few others that I've encountered I've deleted:

Fix for too-huge fire effects
by Corey O'Connor on Friday January 8th 2010, 22:45
Instead of
PARTICLE FALL OFF : 150.000000
use
PARTICLE FALL OFF : 1500.000000
in your settings file. For the steam version I changed local_settings.txt.
This makes the particles die off faster. Which, for the fire effects at least, appears to work around the issue.
Does this imply a bug in the implementation of timers?
Audio temp solution
by Secret Online Gamer on Tuesday January 5th 2010, 4:50
wine: 1.0.1
os: Ubuntu Karmic Koala
game files: steam purchase
Go terminal and cat /dev/urandom >> /dev/dsp
It will state if the soundcard is occupied. If soundcard is not occupied, it will give off static. Close terminal window if there is static & start Torchlight. Otherwise type killall pulseaudio and start up Torchlight. Sound should work now. However you probably have to do it for every reboot.
Full Version Working
by Andrew on Monday January 4th 2010, 11:05
Downloaded the demo through steam (had to run a special command to do so, though). Demo played through with stuttering audio, as had been mentioned a couple weeks ago.
I booted into my Win XP partition, purchased the full version through Steam, downloaded, and played. No problems there, of course. When I booted back into linux, Steam saw that I had purchased the full version, took a few moments to update the ~/.wine/drive_c install of torchlight to the full version, and played just fine. No audio stuttering; actually, it plays identically to the experience on Win XP.
I always load Steam and enter the game through Steam; unsure if that step is relevant.
Running:
Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit
Wine 1.1.35
nvidia 260gx card, though unsure if it's the 190.53 driver or the previous version.

Can only play demo with Steam, even with full version installed
by Colin Wetherbee on Sunday January 3rd 2010, 22:46
I downloaded the Torchlight demo through Steam yesterday, played through it, and bought the full version of Torchlight today.
I can't start Torchlight through Steam (it crashes; adding -SAFEMODE or SAFEMODE=1 to the launch options doesn't help, and safemode.zip isn't at runicgames.com anymore), so I've been running it at the command line ("wine Torchlight.exe -SAFEMODE"). However, this always starts the demo instead of the full version.
I deleted Torchlight and reinstalled it, and then I deleted Torchlight *and* Steam and reinstalled them both, to no avail.
I'm not sure whether this is a Wine problem (e.g. maybe the full version would start *if* I could get it to run in Steam?) or a Valve/Steam problem (e.g. maybe they keep sending me the demo, even though in "My games" it doesn't say "demo" anymore?). I'd appreciate some help debugging this, though.

i haven't gotten fullscreen mode to work yet, and i run the game at max settings at 1620x1024 by changing the settings, the game will fail to change resolutions, but run the game again and it will start at the new resolution.

GamersGate install works
by rakete on Saturday November 7th 2009, 17:53
Just bought and installed the game from www.gamersgate.com and had almost no problems. All I had to do was enable 'Emulate a Virtual Desktop' in winecfg to make the game run fullscreen.
5. Run the game, tweak the settings, but bear in mind full screen seems to cause the game to crash. The game works perfectly in windowed mode.
Optional: Navigate to /home//.wine/dosdevices/c:/users//Application Data/runic games/torchlight/settings.txt and change the line that says VSYNCH :0 to VSYNCH :1 to turn on V-Sync, which otherwise cannot be done through the menus.
Bad EXE format

installation with wine 1.1.29 on Fedora 11 works fine but I can't start the game... here's my console output:
$ wine Torchlight.exe
err:module:map_image Could not map section YMY, file probably truncated
err:module:map_image Could not map section YMY, file probably truncated
wine: could not load L"C:\\Programme\\Runic Games\\Torchlight\\Torchlight.exe": Fehlerhaftes EXE-Format f�r
maybe I'll try compiling wine 1.1.32 myself to see if it works there
If you purchased it at somewhere else, it would be useful for wine users to know, so we could purchase only one copy from the source that we knew had a good chance of working.
