Overlord, Overlord: Raising Hell and Overlord II are all now available on Steam for Linux. Overlord II is also a brand new port today!
Note: You may have issues if you previously purchased them from bundles and other random stores. VP has reached out to Codemasters to add Linux to them. If you're only buying it now, you will be fine.
You can see my previous thoughts on Overlord and Overlord: Raising Hell in my previous article here.
I think Overlord + Overlord: Raising Hell are well worth the money and Virtual Programming did a cracking good job on them.
As for Overlord II, it's a brand new port! I had even shorter notice than last time being told only on the day it's released. So you will have to wait until later tonight for any thoughts on it. In future I'm sure I will get more time to cover VP's ports properly. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: liamdaweAll of you complaining it doesn't download correctly, is this new purchases today?
If not, I already noted why you can't play it right now.
Yes, boss!

OK downloaded here now - 2.3GB sounded a lot better than 135MB ;) I had to delete local content as verify did nothing btw.
Ran the config tool the first time then did a Save and Run, which resulted in a black screen.
Killed ('-s 9' - if this makes no sense to you just reboot) the process than ran it directly from Steam and it loaded fine :)
Thanks for the interject Liam!

Quoting: liamdaweDunno where you poked them, but it seems to have been fixed -- I just got a 1.6GB, 2.0GB and 611MB update for Overlord, Overlord II and Overlord: Raising Hell respectively. :DQuoting: libgradevOkay, it certainly shouldn't happen for new purchases!

EDIT: But Overlord still refuses to start, missing libgtk-3.so.0... :(
I'm not installing gtk3 on my system, so it may be time for a refund.

It runs the first time but if I quit then launch again I just get a black screen. Even after kill -9 and exiting steam it just comes up with a black screen, until I reboot.
