Linux and Steam OS Version available now!

We made a Linux port and released it. The port is done with Wine and is tested for latest Steam OS and Ubuntu. If any problems occur please post here.

None of the text strings are working, just getting things like

TranslateMainMenuDelete

Thank you! Downloading right now!

Well mouse "click" do not work for me. Maybe I need to restart computer...

So restart did nothing..... Solution: Disable Steam Overlay. After it works great THANK YOU!

Seems to work great (already played the GOG version half a year ago) through PlayOnLinux. I just can't find where the savegames are stored though, as I'd like to transfer the one from my PlayOnLinux one here. Any pointers?

-- edit
Nevermind, found it; it's in the game's "/Game/Cache" directory.

Hi there, I can't create a LAN game, a friend on windows can do this (here I can enter game name and password but the button for creating the game does... nothing, except blinking and a button sound). Is this a known bug on the GNU/Linux version of the game? :(

Okay, now I'cant klick ANY Button in the menus anymore... (worked the last hours, already deactivated Steam overlay) :(

Strange: Works again (hope it stays this way), except hosting a LAN/multiplayer game. This Button still doesn't work. Anyone an idea? :(

Ok, works fine but only If I not have installed in system Wine. If I have it, game not want start. Uninstalled WINE help. So now working fine.

BUG 1, if you activate steam overlay and return back to game, mouse buttons dont work ... you must close game and start it again ...

BUG 2. when I started game for first time, it was in window mode, so I changed it in game settings to LCD native resolution. But resolution was not changed properly. So i forced game to close and started it again, after game restart new fullscreen resolution worked fine :-)

This game works great in UBUNTU 15.10 but these two bugs should be fixed, soon.
Thanks devs for linux port. Good work! :-)

Great, nice to hear! :)
Just one question: Is it possible to play online via the so called "LAN" function (-> like 'direct connect': typing in friends public IP & do port forwarding) or is online play in general only possible via earthnet? (or Hamachi & co.)

Sure. Just select Direct Play instead of EartNet. But all PCs playing need to have a differnt serial key. However, the game is on sale for 0,69 USD at the moment.

Ok, thanks! (No problem, already gifted my friends copies for that smal price... ;-) )
Btw, thanks for bringing this awesome classic to GNU/Linux! :-D
