This thread will contain info required to run Path of Exile in WINE.

AppDB page: <pending>

Tiny patch to shut up annoying d3d fixme warnings: here
mmap cache patch for WINE 1.3.X: here
This patch (written by me) implements a cache for open files to make sequential mmaps significantly faster. It works great for me but may not for you.
To use it, patch to the WINE source directory prior to compile. If you are not familiar or comfortable with building your own version of WINE, ignore this.
DO NOT ASK FOR WINE SUPPORT IF YOU ARE USING THIS PATCH.
DO NOT POST BUGS WHEN USING THIS PATCH.
EDIT: patch confirmed working with WINE versions .29 through .35

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To install:

"

wine msiexec /i /path/to/PathOfExileInstaller.msi

To run:

"

wine Client.exe

To run without sound:

"

wine Client.exe --nosound

Tip: If your game continually gets slower as you play, try setting your vm.swappiness to 100.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have played through the whole game (repeatedly) in 1920x1080 with ~70fps on a desktop with the following specs:
core2duo @ 2.40ghz (not overclocked)
nvidia 8800GT - linux driver v275.09.07
2gb DDR2 @ 1167mhz

My desktop is running kernel 3.0.4 (ck patchset) and Xorg v1.9.5 with latest SVN revision of Enlightenment DR17.

It's probably worth noting that I have the game sound disabled when I play, though I do have a sound card for hardware mixing. I also play with most post processing effects disabled.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Troubleshooting:
Linux nvidia v285.03 and above is BROKEN and will not work.

Lastly:
There are no known WINE-specific bugs in Path of Exile. Any issues you experience are either game bugs or the result of a poorly set up system.
