The second racer from Milestone officially arrived on Linux recently with Gravel, shortly after MXGP3. Both ports from Virtual Programming so let's take a look.
Sad news for those who purchased ARMA 3 due to the experimental Linux (and Mac) version, as Bohemia Interactive have announced a halt to the updates for it.
Virtual Programming has released a new version of their ARMA 3 beta which brings the game in sync with the Windows version for the first time. The new beta also provides support for the Laws of War DLC.
Bohemia Interactive have announced in their latest "SITREP" that the Linux version of Arma 3 will be updated to the latest version of 1.76, work is set to start on it "soon".
Bohemia Interactive have put out Virtual Programming's latest update of Arma 3 for Linux, it includes 64bit support and finally fixes the texture issue I had.
It seems Virtual Programming are porting 'MXGP3 - The Official Motocross Videogame' to Linux according to their website. However, something strange happened today with another port they claimed they were doing.
Virtual Programming have release their latest Linux port with 'Putty Squad'. It's a remake of the 1994 platformer that shares the same name, but the updated release has crispier high resolution visuals. VP provided me a copy last night, so here's some thoughts.
It seems another porting company is starting to work on more and more Linux ports and the year has only just begun! Virtual Programming are working on Arma: Cold War Assault and Frog Climbers in addition to the already announced Putty Squad.
Saints Row IV has just been updated to include proper Steam Workshop support, but the kicker is that it only supports Windows. VP will need to update the port to work with it.
Good news for Arma 3 fans today, as Bohemia Interactive have released their next roadmap. They have stated work is going to continue on the Linux version! Not only that, but they are going to make Arma 3 64bit too.
The Saints Row: The Third port from Virtual Programming looks like it could use some love, it seems the co-op play on Linux has been broken since release.
