LINUXGAMES

A Talent For War updated to note that the version 1.4 (whichquickly followed v1.3) patches have been released for the new space simTerminus, developed byVicarious Visions. Changes (in 1.3 and 1.4):

• Removed ability to create black ships in cosmetic detail screen
• Restored the Ship Manager
• Fixed disconnect while joining a multiplayer game
• Fixed comm queue overflow when starting some games
• Fixed one liner bug when ignoring player communications
• Fixed comm interface update bug

Patches:

• v1.2 to v1.3: TerminusLinuxRetailPatch12to13.tar.gz
• v1.3 to v1.4: TerminusLinuxRetailPatch13to14.tar.gz
• v1.1 to v1.4: TerminusLinuxRetailPatch11to14.tar.gz

Furthermore, there’s been some controversy over just which non-Linux-exclusive shipped firstwith multiple binaries in one box… although there’s been many contenders(Hopkins FBI,BFRIS,Krilo,Theocracy, and probably some I’m forgetting), I thinkit’s safe to say this is the most widely available retail game which includes Linux support with Win32/MacOS out of box. In any case… I’m of the opinion that it’s a rather silly thing to fight over, especiallyconsidering our tactical position of industry underdog. Let’s show some solidarity folks, ok?
