any possibility of linux client? I hate the great games being availible only on windoze.

Or if anyone has a working wine config as a last resort.

That would be like a dream come true for sure!
But developers are reluctant to make actual ports.
Actually it installs fine using wine and almost runs but ultimately fails to start.
:(
A true linux port would be nice.

yep me and a few other people already tried to do what we could to get the game going on Linux, but failed.

I would love to jump on Linux PC and use it to play.

you would think that developers would realize that they are idiots to be so narrow minded.

I wouldnt call them idiots.

They developed for the most common OS which is Windows. Linux is making a major Rise yes, but its still has a long ways to go, to catch up.

Besides I am not 100% but I would think it would be rather difficult to code for both OS at the same time. So coding up for one, then at a later time when things are more stable, and then coding for the other would be the most efficient route to go.

So you are not having to fix bugs from both sides.
