Fixes List

I am a little shocked on how long it took these to get fixed personally since it's one of their bigger games. It might actually work a lot better online now! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I wonder if they fixed having to pause the game and then un pause it just to use the mouse. Otherwise, I can still see the cursor and can only move my POV like 20% of the normal distance.

Nope, analog sticks still dont work.

I was hoping this had been fixed, well, I bet they didn´t fix the missing music on the menu screen.
