--- Comment #5 from Screwtape thristian@gmail.com 2013-09-03 05:04:07 CDT --- It has come to my attention that the specific DRM scheme used by the Runic build of Torchlight 2 is GameShield. This DRM scheme was also used by Torchlight 1 (see bug 23090), L.A. Noire (bug 29128) and Max Payne 3 (bug 30822), and that's just the ones I found by searching Bugzilla for "gameshield".
I can confirm that under Wine 1.7.0, Torchlight 2 crashes and burns when you click the "play" button in the launcher/updater tool, but if you apply a crack to remove the DRM it works pretty well.
