****! no linux demo.

Can anybody upload star wars mod download link in moddb here?
because mediafire and 2shared is blocked and i have problems with gamefront
Nice game, all the DLCs seem to work on Linux as well. Just need a trick first though, got to convert all the BMP and DDS files to JPEG and PNG (this also helps witht he white screen bug).**
There are still some issues like using registration code to play the campaign in some cases. Other than that the game is fine.
Is there a way to know which version Desura provides? The latest should be 1.60.
So I bought the game from GSB's official website, but I can't get a shortcut here for the mods. Help, please?
I immediately got an segmentation fault, when I run it under linux after the splash screen is shown :-(
check the Positech forums, there is a linux support section and a topic dealing about this.
Any news on DLC?
For the DLC, I made a script to install them in Linux (no Windows nor Wine needed). You can find it on the Positech forum.
