3D RTS Game MegaGlest Releases V3.9.0

The MegaGlest team has released a new version of their 3D RTS game and several improvements have been made to this actively developed game. Especially cross platform multiplayer which is much more stable now.

There are several graphical improvements you can see from the screenshots below.

Very important for Linux gamers is new default selection mode using "Colorpicking", which fixes the trouble many players had when using OpenSource drivers. Nevertheless especially nvidia users with proprietary drivers should switch the selection mode in the game options to something better.
