Offworld have updated their tactical WW2 shooter Squad 44 (formerly known as Post Scriptum) to bring a whole bunch of fixes, while do so they've also updated Easy Anti-Cheat and enabled Linux platforms to jump in and play.

Nice to see another developer willing to enable Linux players to actually jump in unlike Apex Legends and GTA Online that actively choose to block us.
