44Torchlight is now available on Linux!! Via Humble Indie Bundle 6.
I just got the deal oh yeah!
This video will hopefully help anyone who does not know how to install Torchlight on Ubuntu 12.04. You might want to turn the volume down a bit, still haven't gotten a Blue Yeti mic yet...
Near the end, I showcase some Torchlight gameplay.
Steps:
1. Download Torchlight's installer (.sh)
2. Right click on it, and go to properties.
3. Go to Permissions Tab, tick Execute. Close.
4. Double click the installer to run it.
5. When asked, click on the button Run.
6. A small black terminal will appear, the installer is now working.
7. Read through the installer, and click Next to continue.
8. When EULA agreement appears, tick I Agree then Next to continue.
9. There is NO need to change game installation directories, just click Next.
10. When prompted for your password, input it (for Registering Torchlight with Ubuntu).
11. When the installation is done, click Ok, Next and then Finish.
Congratulations! You've successfully installed Torchlight!
A problem I experienced with Torchlight initially is that it tries to go full screen with a low resolution and in Netbook mode. I'm on a desktop and this is not suitable, so the game runs but I'm stuck with a smaller screen and can't click anything.
To get around this. I open .runicgames folder, which is located in your home folder (it is a hidden file). Open the settings.txt, and set fullscreen:1 to 0 instead. Later on just set stuff up in-game, and then restore it to fullscreen.
