Notes
- ↑ Trine 2 and Trine 3 have broken "Automatic" refresh rate, so you have to specify the real one in the launcher.
- ↑ Game doesn't like Special K/3Dmigoto likely due to Denuvo being present in the executable
- ↑ dgVoodoo can be applied to the game, but forcing a resolution/refresh rate through dgVoodoo breaks the game
