Support for the wheel varies on different distributions of Linux. In the end, we want the mouse wheel to work for all users. Also, we have made progress on music and sound effects. The current audio developments are starting to add to the immersive experience of the Linux Client. And since we can't give you a screenshot of sound, we have some screenshots of Fire Giants for your fear and trembling.</i></blockquote> <br> Woohoo! If they're down to worrying about mouse wheels, the release must be just around the corner, right? | NWN client update | default |
