What works
Most things seem to work, to the extent of which magicka works. The game crashes most of the time on windows as well.
Challenges.
Campaign
Some multi player
What does not
4k resolution results in a black screen. Run the game with virtual desktop. Higher graphics settings seem to make it crash more, but who knows...
Game crashes, a lot but that's the case on Windows so I don't think it's a wine issue per se.
Workarounds
The game requires a 32bit prefix (I couldn't get dotnet35 installed correctly on 64 bit prefix) and the following native libraries
dotnet20
dotnet30
dotnet35
xna31
xinput
directx9
xact (No music without this one)
dotnet35 installation might require --force
What was not tested
Finishing the game. All DLCs
Hardware tested
Graphics:
Additional Comments
The game works *just as well* as on Windows, except for not being able to run in 4k

Some components must be installed with winetricks in order to be able to launch Magicka.To proceed, run :
winetricks dotnet35
winetricks xna31
winetricks directx9
winetricks xinput
Sometimes, winetricks vcrun2008 is also needed.
In order to install the required components for Magicka, you will have to create a 32 bits wineprefix and install everything there (Magicka included).
To create your 32 bits prefix : WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/path/to/wineprefix winecfg
To start winetricks in that prefix : WINEPREFIX=/path/to/wineprefix winetricks
To run Magicka from this prefix : WINEPREFIX=/path/to/wineprefix wine /path/to/Magicka/Magicka.exe
Some problems can sometimes be solved by going in winecfg, in the graphic tab and activating these two options :
- Emulate a Virtual Desktop
- Automatically capture the mouse
If your game crash with error related to "system memory" or "out of memory" (bug 29324), you can try this workaround :
- in the graphic menu in the game, set all details to "low" and effects to "off" (you don't need to change the game resolution)
- with winetricks or regedit, set your graphic card memory amount, disable GLSL and multisampling
Error message: File not found: LanguageFont.xnb (triggered when using the settings menu)
Solution: Create a symlink to debug.xnb in the same folder
