Running without problems like Windows.

tout au minimum

Crashed once on loading, I accidentally pressed the inventory button when leaving the area.
Got stuck in the scenery a couple of times, easly resolved by quitting and reloading save.
Worked almost perfectly minus a couple of bugs that may not be platform related.
Works perfectly directly
No issues found after recent update
Unfortunately, it's currently unplayable
The intro narration did not play
When jumping Twinsen will not fall down, instead he will keep going up forever. This behaviour was also observed with the first NPC, when he is lifted by the elevator, after the elevator stops he continues rising in the air. Nothing seems to be able to bring the entities back to the ground.

Updated 3 DLLs from unofficial sources
Many keyboard keys are not working especially arrow keys. There is also no official Steam Controller support.
Manually overriding DLLs with unofficial sources is unacceptable, and even then there are many issues.
The "Enhanced" version works well with DLL substitution as instructed by others. The Original version needs more tinkering.
I have substituted the DLLs as instructed below. The "Enhanced" version works fine.
In the original version, some audios will not play at all.
In the original version, the keyboard input is broken. I cannot use the arrow keys to select options in the menu. I can press Enter and start a new game, skip the dialogue with Esc, use Ctrl to view Twinsen's behaviour menu, and shift to view the inventory. But even at this point I can't control twinsen because the arrow keys do not respond. I don't understand why that happens, but it's not a problem of DOSBox through Proton, because I also tried using Boxtron (a compatibility layer that doesn't use proton, but native DOSBox for Linux), and the same problem still happens. However, using native DOSBox, the game will not have the scaling issues, and will go fullscreen.
DLL files should be fixed by game provider. No one should overwrite original dll's with the one downloaded from unverified web page.

I don't know if needed, but after copy destination DLLs i renamed them to match case with originals.

Little Big Adventure - Enhanced Edition does not work
Not even with the DLLs trick (but that helped for the Classic edition). I hope it can be fixed... I miss this game!

Enhanced Edition still not working (I did not dare to inject DLLs from a random web site, as explained in the review below :)

Thanks to Nothor for this fix.
Enhanced edition will not run. The game crashes with an assertion error. The Original Edition seems to start just fine, but since that version runs in DosBox it's not possible to earn achievements.

Enhanced Edition does not launch. (But you can launch original edition with the same launcher, it works)


Enhanced edition throws two asserts, which can be ignored, but the game will only show a blank screen. Original edition works in dosbox but has very cumbersome controls.



Enhanced edition does not start with an "Assertion Failed" error. Original edition runs perfectly.
