3. Donwload\Buy: Torchlight 2 & Run Installation

4. After installation: run TorchLight2 from desktop shrotcut

5. If you have graphical glitches \ lags: eg white character models

restart Ubuntu with old version of Nvidia driver

If you do not want to change the driver or the previous solution does not work, you can turn off in the game settings "Hardware skinning". Warning: this solution reduces the number of FPS;

This solution will only work with NVIDIA; If you have Radeon write in the comment's, i will try to help you;
