What works

Everything worked pretty much out of the box,just had to run the launcher to select the good resolution, else the game ran in a lower resolution

I finished the main game as well as Shadow of Undrentide and Horde of the Underdark offical extensions. Played also the GoG given extensions flawlessly and a couple of third party extensions such as A Dance with Rogues Part I and II, Honor amongst Rogues, Mortarii Riseth and others.

crashing errors due to graphical issues, not related to wine
by jack bean on Friday September 22nd 2017, 18:14
what i have found is that two issues may be the leading cause of crashes related to graphics in the gog install.

1) try this: download and install the full dx 9c runtime from microsoft to gain the missing dlls discovered by using the dxdaig tool. this may solve the issue for some people.

2) also: for some reason it seems that several of the mods released by mod authors may or may not have bad file names, whether it is due to the name and/or the suffix being capitalized or mixed case, or the file suffix is the wrong one (example a tga is actually named *.mdl) or the file is corrupt such as a dds or tga that will not have a thumbnail or cannot be opened to view. just delete those bas image files and rename the tga so it is no longer an mdl and the game should return to normal. sure you miuss out on some texture and model upgrades, but the game wont crash. names in upper or mixed case can be renamed to all lower and that can help. NeverWintervault now has full linux version support for most of its community patches and some mods, so those should have a linux ready equivalent that wont or should not have issues with file names. i am assuming similar problems exist in the mac version of wine install for NWN.

last but not least it may or may not help to change the wine version to 2.13 or 2.13-staging and try that since it is the last known platinum test result.
Cannot run under OS X 10.11

Was unable switch Graphic mode from mac to x11 due to X11.app removal. So driver isn't available and game is fully unplayable (only menus work in xquartz mode)

I had the same problem, i was unable to circumvent. The chargeable version CrossOver works though (except for videos), since it brings its own X11 implementation.
