Jagged Alliance 2 - Wildfire now has a Linux beta available on Steam, uses Wine

Quoting: KeyrockToo bad TopWare didn't publish the original Jagged Alliance 2. Still, this is cool. Keep 'em coming, Topware.
They did, in some countries. My physical Polish copy of JA2 still has Topware logo on it :)

But at the moment, several different entities own the rights to Jagged Alliance games.

Quoting: liamdaweI saw the invisible texture issue only once this time, after I wrote this up funnily enough. It went after i died and came back. Better than before for sure.
Sounds good, thanks :)

Can smbd explain what is the difference to insurgency? I mean, isnt this just a change of the setting?
Mostly a change of the setting, but also kinda faster gameplay (more like in Day of Defeat!), more players in both teams, more gameplay elements (such as the commander role, the radio guy role, calling artillery support), new weapons (flamethrower!) and more.

I love Insurgency, I really like the New World studio and Day of Infamy :)

The weird thing is that the Steam game page does not say it supports Linux. But it works and is playable :)

Liam, did you encounter any invisible walls that were present in the previous versions?

QuoteI'm going to be honest, this is quite easily going to be my Game Of The Year on Linux.
Still Stardew Valley for me (and Undertale!). But I play quite a lot of Rocket League as well :)

Rocket League 'AquaDome' update is live with the new map

The new map floor with the wobbly water underneath is way too distracting, in my opinion.

About the desktop crashes - they are most likely related to more than one bug, plus they occur quite randomly, so it might take a while before they get fully patched.

Quoting: tofuheadeeh.. this is just silly, am I missing something or is this game like 5 minute long?

Yes, it is, it's a fan mini-game.

QuoteIt uses Adventure Game Studio and sadly I have been unable to get it to run, let me know in the comments if you have more luck than I do. Would love to give this one a little run as a fan.

What problems did you encounter? The game starts ok for me on Ubuntu 14.04.
