Bay 12 Games Forum

Hello, I have not played the game for some years. I saw it on steam ! Which reminded me that it exists.

I tried the steam version but did not really like it and refunded it as all the keys are different and a lot of the menus are different.  It tends to run slow too.


The last playable version appears to be 47.05, there does not appear to be any linux binaries for the new 50.x version .

If I remember it right, the last version I was playing is 40.0x so I guess there is still 7 versions of new stuff to checkout before the game is unavailable from the enforced control change and lack of binary? It can be played in the proton I think.

What compelled this series of events? I have not kept up to date for 10 years. Is the magic arc done yet?

I'm attempting to make a helper/pet that does jobs and can wield items/help with workshops and jobs, and that i can buy from the embark screen.
