A little later than expected, but Linux versions of Sudden Strike 4 & the Road to Dunkirk DLC are now available on GOG.

I'm still a fan of the single-player myself, but the multiplayer really isn't anything special at all. Especially since it's locked per-platform, so Linux to Linux only. The developer still won't reply to me on that, considering I was told before release it was cross-platform online.

The good news is that GOG have told me that multiplayer is compatible between GOG and Steam.

GOG provided me with a copy to test and make sure it works okay. The slightly bad news is that the download currently seems to have a broken launch script. It seems someone at GOG may have done a little copy/paste screw up (happens to the best of us), as it looks for a different game. I've let them know about the issue, so it should be fixed soon. Launching the actual game directly works fine though, so it's not a major issue.

Update: They've now fixed the launch script.

You can see my original thoughts on the game here.

We know it's the Linux version, this is GamingOnLinux, so, kind of redundant, just something to think about. :3

It's extremely important for search engines actually. It helps to distinguish our news from normal Windows news.

I'm curious how is the multiplayer handled without Galaxy on Linux, if it has LAN it's a definite buy.
