Stan, Hori, and thelimeydragon:

We have updated the Linux Desura App to 120.25, which should have fixed some installation crashes and various crashes while running. Would you mind seeing if this version works for you?

Thank you!!

Hi guys!

We've released a Linux Beta version (320.28) that fixes quite a lot of crashes on Linux. It does not yet support Arch Linux, we're still working on that.

You can get Beta releases by:
1) Launch Linux client
2) Choose Settings from left-side menu
3) Choose the Beta tab
4) Select "Participate in Desura Public Beta" and 'Save'

A dialog should appear after it downloads the beta.

Thanks everyone!!

Hi everyone!

We at Desura will be releasing a Beta of the current Linux client tomorrow (December 23 - probably towards the end of the day). We could sure use your help beating on it, especially under different Linux environments. Anything you find would need to be reported to [email protected].

Instructions on how to obtain this Beta will be forthcoming. Please watch this space for further information. Thanks in advance!

Also, we really appreciate your patience!
