Sadly it seems the Linux version is a bit broken, still. I personally tested it a bit for them months ago and reported a game breaking issue to them (screen going black on zooming in, not being recoverable from), they blamed it on postfx when I had that turned off and then never replied again so I don't personally hold high hopes for it on Linux.

I cannot test it to see if that issue is gone either since they completely removed the test version and you have to pay now, so keep an eye on their steam forum for Linux issues before buying.

I'll wait for the Linux version to be fixed before I buy.

I saw it yesterday on Steam and I think it has beautiful graphics.

Works fine (except strange mouse acceleration issues) for me.

Biggest gripe is that most of the people I played with were massive arseholes. The amount of name calling was horrendous.

God. That's the number one reason (in my opinion) why newer players are put off by a game.

It's unplayable for me,

the known mouse bug (it's blamed on KDE? )
the known disconnection bug
the known graphical errors
the known 3 second soft crash
