Hi guys. Just installed this from steam on linux, and noticed a few issues.
On the main screen, where it would normally show the version number, it says "none" instead.
On the research tree, under Moklumnue mineral trade, the first line of trade stabilization is listed as "ERROR". This is also the case on android (nexus 7, version 2.1.11), and additionally there is a "buy elite" button visible when looking at that tech (think there's already a bug open on that though). This may apply to other political treaties, haven't checked properly though.
As far as I can tell, I have the latest version steam has to offer (installed it after the update notice number 11 was posted) but deep space operations 1 doesn't offer AOE refuel (doesn't give any unlocks). Is this a bug or do I have not the latest version installed? As the version number is missing on the front screen I can't tell. (md5sum of factionwars exe file is 0da3e6b1028278461e7f2b2d94dab8b1 or something - had to type it rather than copy paste - if that lets you work out what version I'm on).
Fullscreen doesn't work properly (as with HoS) - had to add a command line parameter in. Obviously fullscreen works but doesn't seem to use the application setting, this feels a bit cheap and hacky and would be nice if it worked properly based on the setting from the game.
Running on Linux mint 17 cinnamon 64 bit

shallowthought - thanks for the post and we'll try to address all of these issues. Can you answer a few questions that could help us reach resolution quickly? 1. Do you get a version number for Heroes of Steel on Linux, or they are both reading "none"? 2. We'll make sure that Trade Stabilization is fixed for the next release, that is a bug on all platforms. 3. The "Buy Elite" button is fixed for next, and it should only appear on Android. I don't see it in my Steam production release, so please let us know if you are seeing this button on Linux. 4. On my production Steam release (2.1.11) "Deep Space Operations 1" offers two Talents - "Refuel Ships 1" and "Repair Fighters 1". This is a tech that is the child of Starship Construction 6, to be sure we are talking about the same thing. 5. Thanks for pointing out the issue with fullscreen. There was a bug in the command-line parameter testing in Linux-specific code that is now fixed. Thanks for playing the game and we hope you'll leave a review. There is no better way to help share the word about Trese Brothers than to leave a review on Steam.

Hi fallen.
1 I get the correct version appearing on heroes of steel. 3 buy elite is android only 4 we're looking at the same tech. As I said I may have an older version though.
Thanks for the quick reply.

shallowthought - I guess, as you don't have a version # on the front page, it's hard to tell. That would be the result I would expect with on release back. Is your Linux 32-bit or 64-bit?

64 bit. Is there any way to find out the version apart from the front screen? I'm OK with command line stuff if that's a possibility.

Still waiting for this update to appear on steam. Any idea how long it usually takes to go through?

shallowthought - it is processing right now. I would restart your Steam client in about 10 minutes and see if it appears.
