Company of Heroes 2 updated for Linux

By -
tagline-image
Company of Heroes 2 has once again been updated. The great news for me is that fullscreen works fine once again.

Their last patch had a regression where I couldn't play in fullscreen (like a lot of people reported for Life is Strange).

Other additions and fixes:
Latest Windows version balance changes and fixes.
Other various fixes and improvements.

You can find Company of Heroes 2 on the Feral Store and Steam.

It's still easily one of my favourite strategy games available on Linux. Now is a great time to pick it up, so once I am back to my weekly battles in September which are live-streamed you can join in! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: omer666On my rig, the game doesn't steal focus on startup, and it still doesn't connect to Relic servers no matter what. I think the second issue is Relic/Sega-related, but the first one is new.
I don't know if it's a similar problem with the certs that I had on borderlands 2 but for archlinux doing a ln -s /etc/ssl /usr/lib/ssl fixed the problem with the game with SHIFT servers , maybe something similar in your case.

The path is maybe different but I think it could help you.

That's quite strange as I can connect to Shift without any problem, including on Arch (which used to be installed on my computer until I switched to Fedora). But I'll look into this, thanks a lot.

I used this a long time ago so maybe it's not needed anymore with borderlands 2 but I have an old install of arch and it was the trick for shift servers back then. Relic servers seems to work for me.So maybe it helps ? don't know :D But I hope it could help you .

Quoting: edddeduckferalSure please do and link to this thread. We'll add it to our weird unsupported distro list. :-)

These issues we can't guarantee to fix but sometimes something happens that helps expose the root cause so we can workaround or log a bug with the library causing the issue. Also the same thing goes for workarounds if you ever find one let us know we can then use that to help others or even narrow down a permanent fix.

Hello, I would like to ask - does the port support cross platform multiplayer, if so is it supported well (are there no desync issues?) and if either answer is no, is there any positive future outlook?
