Armello gets full Linux support restored with cross-platform online play

This is really great to see! Armello from developer League of Geeks has a fresh update out, and it restores full Linux support.

Patch 2.2-p3 - The Return of the Mac (and Linux)

Hey Armellians!

Short patch notes for this one, but super good news for a portion of our community here...
  • Restored private matchmaking functions for Linux and Mac (macOS 12.3+) users.
  • Public and Private crossplay now available across all platforms (including macOS & Linux).
That's right, Party functionality has been restored for MacOS and Linux players!

As mentioned in this previous update, our multiplayer service provider decided to cease support of Party functionality for MacOS and Linux. Devastatingly, this forced us to discontinue Party functionality (private games, partying up, etc) for MacOS and Linux in Armello, back in July of this year.

However, that service provider has since rolled out support for MacOS & Linux, and so we pounced on the opportunity to restore Party functionality here.

Tell all your apple and penguin flavoured pals that they can join you in your quest for the throne once more! Patch 2.2-p3 is now live.
