Julius {l Wrote}:Hmm, the desura linux version is still on 1.1
And problems with updating it? How does it work in general btw? Do you have to wait for an Desura employee to do it for you or do you have direct access?

No idea, the Desura guys did up the v1.1 stuff themselves when they first released the Linux Beta.

If you have the developer of Red Eclipse contact me here via PM then I can make him the owner of the game and he can do the updates himself.

NetMassimo {l Wrote}:I tried played a few maps in version 1.2 but I'm already impressed by the improvements that make Red Eclipse even better. Congratulations to all developers, artists and contributors!

Architect {l Wrote}:best one yet, but i need to be able to change vars in servers, yes, even if it isn't mine
