Only a short time after the release of Version 4.2.11, Version 4.2.12 of PlayOnLinux has arrived.

Sadly the developers did not publish a changelog this time.

PlayingTux: Hi Liam, thank you for taking the time! Would you please like to introduce yourself?

Liam Dawe: My name is Liam Dawe and I run www.gamingonlinux.com.

I come from a "sunny" part of the UK where I've lived my entire life, you could say I've lived a pretty boring and sheltered life really.

I've run it for nearly eight years now (previously under a different address where stuff was lost) and I have no plans to quit any time soon.

Today saw the release of Patch 1.5 for the very difficult round-based strategy game Hard West.

It adds a new function, which most players have been waiting and wishing for a very long time: Quicksave!

Additionally the patch adresses some long standing bugs, which could corrupt your savegame.

Patch 1.5! Save Game on Demand! The future is here!

The heavily by Dungeon Keeper inspired strategy-game War for the Overworld is now also available DRM-free at GOG and received there a 50% starting discount.

UPDATE: you can currently also get the game for free on GOG via GOG Connect, if you already own it on Steam!

A new version 0.4.12 of Lutris has been released.

This time the developers focused mainly on fixing bugs:

lutris (0.4.12) zesty; urgency=medium

Short time after the release for Euro Truck Simulator 2, the American Truck Simulator now also gets the Heavy Cargo DLC!

A Cargo-DLC Bundle for ATS and ETS2 can be found here.

The Steam-News page for ATS has more detailed information on this DLC.

Bad news for friends of building and management games on Linux: Seastader, the complex mixture between "Waterworld" and "Simcity", seems not to going to have a release on Linux.
