What works

Both the installer and the game itself work: launching, creating a new game, playing, saving and restoring.

What does not

Fullscreen mode is buggy, so the solution is to use the 1024 x 768 virtual desktop.

Workarounds

What was not tested

Thorough gameplay: so far I have only advanced a couple of turns.

HowTo / Notes

HOWTO: Installation

In order to make the game run properly, create a brand new prefix for it:

env WINEPREFIX=~/zafehouse_wine_prefix WINEARCH=win32 winetricks -q dotnet35sp1 vcrun2008 gdiplus

This command will create a new prefix in the path that is specified by the WINEPREFIX parameter. Feel free to choose whatever path you want.

If you are installing the .NET Framework for the first time from winetricks, get ready to download some packages manually. The installation script will terminate from time to time telling you to visit a certain page, get the file from that page and put it in a specific folder.

Note: the -q parameter that is passed to winetricks makes it suppress all the dialogs during the installation, including those with the license agreement. If that's not what you want, remove the parameter.

Also note: You need the latest winetricks executable to properly install all the required software. You can get it on the winetricks site.

After your prefix is ready, you need to execute theGOG installer:

 env WINEPREFIX=~/zafehouse_wine_prefix wine ~/Downloads/setup_zafehouse_diaries_2.0.0.3.exe

After the installation finishes, you need execute the patch:

 env WINEPREFIX=~/zafehouse_wine_prefix wine ~/Downloads/patch_zafehouse_diaries_2.0.2.5.exe

After that you're done, enjoy!

wine-1.6.1
zafehouse_diaries 2.2.1.10

I had to modify my winetricks as per code.google.com/p/winetricks/issues/detail?id=263#c21 to get dotnet35sp1 to install correctly.

Then I found that text in the game was not displaying properly, so I had to install gdiplus as per forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=6377, switch the game to using GDI+ with the Zafehouse Diaries Diagnostic Tool, and start a new game (attempting to continue a game started prior to switching to GDI+ caused it to crash.)

Everything appears to be working now...
