There are still issues to work out, but various in-game sounds (such as gui sounds, footstep sounds, and combat sounds) are playing. We've also managed to fix up most of the remaining known input and graphical glitches. 2 new screenshots have been added below.</blockquote> The NWN-Linux-Client homepage is <a href="http://nwn.bioware.com/downloads/linuxclient.html">here</a>.
