Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura

About the game:

This is a Wine port of the Good Old Games version of the 2001 PC game Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura developed by Troika, a developer formed from the producer/lead programmer, visual artist, and engine designer of the first Fallout game.  It plays much like Baldur's gate and other RPG's of that era, and is probably the best "Steampunk" RPG around.  It received positive reviews but was somewhat  buggy upon release, but has since received patches and a lot of love from fans in the form of fan patches and mods.  All of the "must-have" mods have been pre-installed.  The game runs in widescreen, the music has been updated to "lossless" full-quality .wav files, and the fan-patch has been applied making the game virtually bug-free.  Artwork, the manual, patches, wallpapers, and a game map are included in the download.  I did not crack the original PC game, so full credit to whoever did.

Issues:

The Wine port is very good.  The only problem I've noticed is a very small amount of screen tearing while scrolling around the game world while playing on a large screen, but that might have nothing to do with Wine, and it isn't noticeable on my laptop.  Also, keep in mind that although the game world is rendered in widescreen, the interface is not.  There is no pretty way around this that I have found, but it looks fine as-is.  The main menu is part of the interface, so it will not be rendered widescreen either.  The in-game movies will also be about half-size due to the high resolution.  Don't let these things discourage you.  The game runs great, but I feel obligated to inform downloaders of any problems. 

Installing:

The file is a little large, but the game is pre-patched and all you need to do is mount the .dmg and then drag/drop the game to install.  The .dmg also includes all the extras. I tested the installer on a separate computer and everything worked fine.  Make sure you read the included text file.  I have the default resolution set to 1920x1080, and if your monitor does not support that resolution, the game will crash on startup.  It isn't hard to change resolutions, and if you know enough to be able to download a torrent, you should be able to change the resolution.  Nevertheless, the text file includes extremely detailed, click-by-click, instructions for changing the resolution.

Cheers!

The last word in the brackets is Wineskin. This is my first torrent, and I wasn't aware there was a length limit. I'll be seeding it like a nut!
I didn't know so many people would grab this so fast. Sorry it's taking so long. I don't have very fast upload speed; especially with so many downloading. If you're one of the first to get a complete file, please keep seeding to help out others.
awesome thanks!
Let me know if there are any problems with the wineskin, and I'll do my best to help.
For me it's appearing on the dock as opened for a few seconds, than closes, I got a late '06 IMac and I'm still on 10.6 so it's probably just my computer, but I'd like to know if there's a fix
Does your imac support 1920x1080 resolution? From what I see, only the 24 inch model from that year does. The text file contains instructions for changing resolutions. It will crash at startup otherwise.
I'm not sure whether or not 10.6 could affect it. I should have mentioned that I used a 2012 imac with 10.8.3 to make it, and the other laptop I tested it on also had 10.8.
Why did u set the default to 1920x1080? I set all my mac ports to 1280x800 for compatibility reasons..
Yes, you're right. I should have. This is the first time I've ever shared anything that I've done with anybody else though, and I was thinking that more people would want a higher resolution, and only the people that couldn't display it would have to go through the process of changing it. I should have set it lower though. Lesson learned. Luckily, it isn't hard to change.
thanks pitch_mod for the well-picked game and explicit instructions. hope you continue to upload!
Thank you!
Hi pitch_mod, i hope i am not asking too much of u, but would it be possible for u to port the torrent to a wineskin that can run on 10.5.8? My computer is rather old, but i've been waiting for this forever.
If thats not possible, could u please tell me how to transfer content from this port to this one?
