Does Linux/Ubuntu support this game?

need a whole new computer to run this game, but found out recently that the XP disc we used to have is messed up. I'm not in the mood to spend another 100 bucks or so on windows XP again, so will Ubuntu/Linux support this game?

No.

Have you tried to run it in WINE?

Or download Windows 7 Beta via BitTorrent, or search for it on Google.

I wouldn't be surprised if it ran in wine, but I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't. What's definitely not supported in wine is Impulse, so you'll need a Windows machine to actually acquire the game. With Sins I just sneakernetted it using a USB stick, but I haven't figured out an easy way to get Demigod copied over (other than using this as an excuse to buy myself a bigger USB stick ).

I've gotten the game onto my Linux box now. It crashes on startup, with the end of the Demigod crash dialog being:

info: Compiled shader: /effects/water.fxo
debug: Loading module '\000/lua/ui/menus/menumovie.lua\000'
warning: c:\Work\forge\main\code\src\libs\gpggal\DeviceD3D9.cpp(1032) Invalid call

I wonder if maybe it can't load the intro movie? Is there a way to shut that off?
