The drivers from the Nvidia website are safe to use, for over 2 years I've been installing them in this way and I can't say I've ever had any problems, so if you can't find what you need in the repo you might wanna give them a shot :-)

Not in a position to donate monthly, sadly. About that comment though - while it's true that sometimes there are contributions by other people than Liam, I cannot help but feel that without his continued work and efforts, this site wouldn't be where it is today.

People have to keep in mind that Liam doesn't just write articles, he also benchmarks games, contacts developers/publishers when required and of course work on the GoL website itself.

I've checked other Linux gaming sites in the past and they don't come as close to this. I can't donate (yet) but I greatly appreciate all the work done here. Thank you.

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.
