Best gaming news of whole day, It's been a while since I played an RTS. Once this hits GOG, GSC has my full flappy-penguin support.

Quoting: adamhmThis was also released on GOG today; no idea if the Linux version will be made available there as well though. I posted in the release thread asking GOG about it and have emailed GSC about it too.

Thank you for that, I hope the Linux version comes to GOG too, that would seal the deal for me.

Been a while since I've played an RTS and the original Cossacks was never part of them so this will be a new experience. Looking forward to it :-)

We're really excited to unite our players!

Yet they fail to remember that on GOG.com there are Linux users too, and as of yet there's still no Linux version available.

Just tried opening a bunch of Glxgears, after 11 succcessful runs the 12th came black. While the Glxgears were running I also loaded Unreal-Gold which resulted in a black screen (sound only) > Game worked fine after I closed all the Glxgears and relaunching it.

For the record I'm using Mint 17.3 with Mate desktop and a GTX 960 (composite/any effects off).

This seems to affect only those who open multiple OpenGL windows as I've been using the driver the whole day and I haven't encountered any other issues.

Just checked my cache folder and it seems it has topped the 64mb many moons ago, 128mb feels a bit shallow still but better than nothing so Nvidia has my thanks. :-)

Not a fan of point and click games, this one however seems interesting and there's a high chance I will buy it.

From their Steam page:

Multiplayer allows Local Area Network and player hosted servers. We also have many official servers in the lobby.

Hosting your own server / Local Area Network right the kind of games I'd gladly instabuy. There's only 1 thing left for them to do, a DRM-Free release.

Honestly have to say that it looks like a game suited more for a phone than a PC.

Quoting: TuxusSomething don't work here...
I have the two remastered Broken Sword games on Steam, but it says: "NO ELIGIBLE GAMES FOUND" and those games appear grayed out in the list.

Anyone else have a similar issue?

Have you had the games there for a while or did you add them recently to Steam? I ask this because I added Risk of Rain and Broken Sword 1 to Steam just today (had 2 Humble keys) and took a while for GOG Connect to see them but I did redeem them.

Wine is an amazing piece of software which should be loved by everyone, partially it's thanks to it that I'm now a full time Linux user as there are some games (Guild Wars 2 being one of them) which I wouldn't do without.

I only reserve Wine for old Windows games of which are most likely never going to get ported over (and occasionally Free2Play MMOs), It's nice be able to re-play a favorite old game of mine without needing Windows for it. That said I don't intend to buy any new Windows games regardless of how good they run in Wine, I believe there are enough cross platform tools to make a Linux release happen these days.

I have found some games listed on Wine-AppDB to be outdated and do not reflect how the game runs in Wine today. For example BloodRayne has a Silver/Garbage rating, however after a full playthrough last week I'd easily give it a Gold/Platinum rating.
