Playonlinux, the Software, which makes it easy to use Windows-Titles on Linux (using WINE), has released the Version 4.2.10.

Changelog:

PlayOnLinux and PlayOnMac 4.2.10 are now released. Here is the changelog:

Wine 1.8 staging is now the default wine version on OSX. The build process has been improved thanks to wine-staging team so that the compiler supports ms_hook_prologue, allowing function hotpatching. This should improve the compatibility of some applications like Steam.

OpenRA, the free implementation of old RTS-classics like C&C (Tiberian Dawn), C&C: Red Alert, and Dune 2000 has released a new version just in time for Christmas.

It contains a lot of improvements like a global chat and a redesign of the server-browser.

Silently creeped Total War: ROME II - Emperor Edition in my Steam-library a few moments ago!

I'm currently downloading the 13.3GB, and will report here soon, if it really works!

UPDATE: currently there is sadly no executable file, so the game won't start.

Valve confirmed to the makers of the nvidia-PPAs for Ubuntu, what users of the current Beta-Nvidia-Driver 358.x for Linux do already know: the Beta-Driver is responsible for an unusual hight count of crashes when used within the Steam-Client.

What a great day for Linux-Gamers! Not only Total War: Attila has been released today, but also Grid Autosport finds it's way today to our favored operating system!
