Some of you may or may not be aware that I've never actually run Hex on Windows or OSX. Up until the Dead of Winter patch I had been running the Windows version of Hex under Linux using Wine . The dead of winter patch however introduced a few changes that broke Hex's compatibility with Wine.Some of you may also know that the Unity engine that Hex runs on supports Linux natively. One of the wonderful people at Hex took a small bit of time to throw all the switches in Unity to "Linux" and spit out some binaries for us which I've been given permission to share today.With that little bit out of the way - you can download the native Linux version of Hex from here After the hex.tar.gz downloads, extract the file to your folder of choice and make the contents readable / executable. You can do this from the command line by navigating to the directory you extracted the files in and running the command:You can then launch the native build of Hex by executing thefile in this directory. If you would like to add a Hex menu entry to launch from the GUI you can create a .desktop file and put it somewhere your system can find it (such as). For example the desktop file I used looks like:I've streamed from this client without major issues for 5~ hours so far having played ladder matches and using the collection manager. The known issues I am aware of so far are:Your client should start windowed mode by default, but if for some reason you switched to full screen you can toggle it back off by, force closing Hex and then opening the fileand find the line:Change the 1 to a 0, save the file, and relaunch Hex.If you hit any other issues please post them in this thread so we can keep track of them. There might be some platform specific bits hiding in places that Unity did not convert correctly.Happy Penguin Powered Hexing!
