RUINER, the slick action game from Reikon Games had another small update recently, which solves some of the last issues.
The actual update, wasn't fully announced by itself. Instead, they added an edit to their last announcement which reads:
The final update has just arrived. Cutscene quality improved immensely, crashes on menus obliterated, performance boosted. Enjoy your smooth ride, Penguin Puppies!
I have to admit, I've been massively impressed with their commitment to making the Linux version of RUINER as good as possible. It may have been delayed, but it was absolutely worth the wait.
Direct Link
Hopefully it did well enough for them to consider Linux with their next game, certainly will be interesting to see what Reikon Games do after this. If you're after a copy, you can grab it in the current Humble Monthly which has three days left, otherwise head to Steam or GOG.

What track is playing in the tunnel sequence by the way (one in tunel-full.bik?). I don't think it's included in the OST.

Quoting: Avehicle7887I wonder if they added the missing graphic effects in the Linux version.
Were they missing? I didn't really notice. But I didn't compare either.

Some soft glow effect makes the lights look better. I sent a comparison pic to the devs on Steam. I tried searching it so I can link it here but I can't find the thread. I'm out atm, will re upload it when I get home.
Quoting: ShmerlI've been playing this update, and besides some garbled colors in the opening screen at 16:10 resolution, I didn't encounter any problems.I reported that 16:10 is not supported well. Do you also have a non-redrawing bar at the bottom of the screen? After some fullscreen effects I have red lines there that just sit below the screen forever (until I restart the game, that is). The height of the area seems to be the 120 px difference between 1080 and 1200.

I didn't notice this issue. Feel free to add your comment here: https://www.gog.com/forum/ruiner/linux_version

Quoting: rkfgSo, for you the game viewport occupies the whole screen without black bars on top/bottom? 1920x1200 is not a very popular resolutions and when these issues happen it's hard to find confirmations.
I'll take a closer look later today and will post a screenshot.
