Played roughly 7-8 hours split over 3 days so far. Apart from the Beta issues, I am well aware of because the amount of YT Videos I watched, it works so far (on Wine 10.2 now) some of the Beta issues should be already fixed on a newer version but unfortunately it is what it is.
Even managed to install one of my favorite mods to (easily) switch between keyboard and (PS4) controller in game that works as well.

Hey, thanks for the report. I was hoping we'd have a Linux version, but will likely go with Windows until that happens. Wine 10 is pretty amazing.

Unfortunately, the new 42.6 build still crashes on Mac M1 (15.1.1), as soon as I start after character creation.

Something is telling me it's close now. I can feel it in my guts.... Oh, wait, it's just a zombie munching on me....

An updated offline installer? I very much doubt that. Still 42.2.0. :(
I can understand that we do not get every update on GOG. But after another three months it would be quite nice to have. Who knows how many months will pass until the stable release appears...

Would be nice, agreed.

A random PZ youtuber (playing 42.7.0 i think) recently had a feeling that stable could be around the corner.
My guess would be Christmas (not stating a year) :)

Meanwhile I switched to another game that has a up-to-date native Linux client, but still keep occasionally an eye on this one.

The windows offline installer got a update to 42.8.1 it seems (not tried yet).

EDIT: 42.8.1 Linux (offline) installer available, finally its Christmas :) , currently downloading.

Exciting news! Downloaded and tested. Works.
Now I have to read through all patch notes since 42.2.0. :)
