What works
Installing and running the game through Wine, slower than in Windows, crashes alot. AwesomiumProcess is unstable through wine. Still playable for what it is; an Alpha.
What does not
Some levels crash instantly before loading is complete, sometimes it will crash when adding certain objects. AwesomiumProcess and the dll is the largest culprit for most crashes, specially the UI responsiveness.
Workarounds
What was not tested
All levels.
Hardware tested
Graphics:
Additional Comments
hwreport.txt still needs to be added to the data folder for it to even run.

1. Preorder the game so you can get access to the alpha
2. Download & install the .exe
3. Install vcrun2005 using winetricks
4. Place an empty "hwreport.txt" in the /Overgrowth/Data/ folder
5. Enjoy
NOTE:
Wolfire Games has promised a native Linux client, so hopefully we'll see that soon!
