The Linux beta version of Arma 3 (which still isn't officially supported) has been updated once again.

Today we've updated the Linux & Mac experimental ports to version 1.58. Kudos to @virtualprog. More Intel: https://t.co/BdQzkTwFOC - Enjoy! — Arma 3 (@Arma3official) August 9, 2016



This is version 1.58, so it's not currently as up to date as the Windows version. This means you won't be able to play online with your Windows pals just yet unless they are using the same version.



It looks like this version now has BattlEye anti-cheat enabled for Linux gamers, so at least we can play on servers using it now.



You can see what the 1.58 update did for Arma 3 on this official update post (released for Windows in April).



Issues

Sadly, I still have a major issue with the game.



The textures option is buggy for me, in the way that it won't let me pick the level of textures that I want. Half the time it will only display Low textures, and if I do manage to get the other levels to appear in the box, selecting them will only work for a few moments before it drops back down again (can actually see it dropping down in-game sometimes if I manage to do it). I even did a video to demonstrate the issue:



I believe I am one of only a few who have the issue, but it makes the port unplayable for me. As I really don't want to play a game like Arma 3 with my 980ti on Low.
