    I see, in this release, that there are a lot of map changes. When will Linux get an in-game map so that we can enjoy these changes too?

    I am a Linux user as well, so I would really like this feature too. The JIRA for Linux map support has been pushed to R51.

    I don't really use the maps, but it would be nice to know that they are available if I ever do. Linux user here as well!

    The website works fine. But the map functionality in game does not. Fun job to find somebody specific in a town. The markers on the compass help a bit, but most of these marker are useless since even after you finished a task they keep glowing.
    So yes map functionality for linux is needed.

    Looking forward to the Linux Map in the game.

    Sure, the website works fine. However I agree with @gunnar_g. It's not the same.

    Other RPG games I've played have maps available or auto mapped by the character during game play. Pretty common :)

    I also noticed the glowing markers on my compass after a task is completed. I figured that will get fixed eventually. I understood it was jira'd already :-D

    Just as a clarification. I spent hours in Bloodriver Outskirts. I found these monkey automatons that said "return to Gus in Bloodriver outskirts". Try to find Gus if you don't have a map of the surroundings and thus no knowledge of where you have already been.
    I found him by looking at a walk through and looking at the surroundings. Clearly a map that gets filled in when you pass would make life so much easier.
    I had the same problem in Highvale outskirts looking for the alternate entrance of the kobold mine. The compass said I was going in the right direction, but the mountains were in the way ;-)

    @rok-yrikk
    I read somewhere in the forum that it's actually a chrome plugin that does not compile? Is there something people can help with?
