itch.io

Since the game is no longer receiving updates frequently is a full release on itch still out of question? It would be really nice to be able to play Urtuk without Steam.

I never tried NGL Biathlon natively because I have no Windows computer, but I get more than 60 FPS with Wine.

What I did was just run the Windows executable file with Wine, close the game since fonts were invisible, run winetricks mscorefonts in the same Wine wineprefix (check the internet if you are unfamiliar with wineprefix, basically it’s the folder of the Wine Windows folder I used to run the game), and then relaunch the game.

I can play it flawlessly on Linux using Wine, after installing mscorefonts, so odds are good that it might work in MacOS with Wine or Crossover too.

I had the same issue and installed mscorefonts with winetricks, which solved the issue. I’m still missing the heart icon while in game, but that’s a minor issue in my opinion (even though I recently heard it can blink and show extra information that one cannot infer from just the beatrate value).

It’s wonderful that the game has all current players but also those from previous seasons, and legends! I just miss a way to select preset rosters by season/year, instead of manually picking each athlete individually. Would be great to add an extra button with past seasons and select athletes accordingly, while keeping the possibility to manually edit too of course.

I wanted to thank the developer(s) for chosing this business plan. I first downloaded the game for free just to try it, and after donated afterwards. Also quite happy that the game works with Wine, unfortunately it seems the mouse becomes buggy after you’ve alt-tabbed once, and I’m not good at shooting with just the keyboard.

This game is pretty good. The skiing felt awkward at first and there is no falls, but in the end NGL Biathlon greatly translates the stress that you feel on a tight race when you enter the shooting range. I just wish the AI would shoot slower though, this doesn’t look real there. The penalty loops are short, probably to compensate for tracks that are also faster than in real life.

The game works perfectly on Linux with Wine 64-bits.

I quite like that game and won my first mass start. I liked the game so much that I just binged four full world cups in a row.

Thanks, I can confirm running `RotT.x86_64 -screen-fullscreen 0` from terminal launches the game in windowed mode, and then the resolution can be changed in game settings. I could perhaps make a script to do that, since I didn't see a way to launch with options from itch.io itself. Maybe I can with Lutris though.

Solus is a rolling distribution, I'm up to date, using the Budgie flavor. 

Thanks for the reply Catmic, however it didn't work for me (Solus).

Same thing here.
