GOG.com - Risen 2: Dark Waters

Works perfectly. I tried running Risen 2 on 2 different Windows systems and the game kept crashing BSOD every 15 minutes. I installed via PlayOnLinux and the install was very smooth, no issues at all and I really appreciated the ability to install the Gold Version as well as part of the process. Game saves/loads/settings all work. Initial Piranha Bytes movie opening does not show though there is sound. The only bug is mouse movement. The player locks when rotating right or left. You have to move your mouse in t he opposite direction to unlock the movement. I also found looking up will also lock. The player will be locked in a straight-ahead position, but tapping the left ALT key a couple of times will unlock that so you can look up (haven't tried the Right ALT key, so that may work too). The game is very playable so thank you!

Thanks for your feedback. The mouse movement issues you encountered are caused by a bug in wine which you can find here: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33479 . I already tried to run the game with earlier versions or patch and recompile wine myself, but none of that solved the problem for me. I hope the developers will find a solution for this soon, especially since Risen 1 + 2 are not the only games affected by this.

Thanks for pointing that out. I submitted an update to change this line.
