Any chance of a linux release?

Unfortunately, I've never been involved in producing Linux builds; historically, that was Trick's area, but they haven't been around for years now. If someone would like to step up and push the needed buttons, I'd be happy to work with them.

I've been building DROD on Linux for years. The builds were generally without CaravelNet support by necessity, and non-static by choice.

I can try creating an official build if you want. (Obviously with no guarantee of success, or promise of any time frame.)

Hey Mike, if you'd like to work together and try producing a full OS X build, let me know! I'm not sure of the steps required to do that.

Due to a newly discovered crash, I am provided a new CNet-enabled Windows build of 5.1.1. As usual, it is a "drop-in" update, where you directly replace the drod.exe file.

Developers working on other platforms might want to add this PR to their builds, as the crash is a product of faulty logic exposed by 5.1.1 changes.

On the topic of other platform builds, it can be worth posting non-CNet 5.1.1 builds in this thread to allow for initial testing. For non-Steam builds, the only difference is CaravelNet connectivity, so most changes and fixes will be available. (Steam builds have some extra considerations beyond the addition of the Steam overlay stuff in relation to DLC holds)

Windows patch installer for 5.1.1.544, for if you don't want to mess around with dropping files into places. As with all patch installers, it requires a pre-existing installation of TSS.

Well, I installed it. The good news is that the Englos Creeps no longer crash the game when their path is blocked. The bad news is, they also no longer call for artillery strikes.

Looks like the crash was covering up the fact that there was also a regression. Fun!

Is anyone else running the 5.1.1.515 beta? I am getting a crash when navigating to the Hold Select screen and selecting the hold called "Blackout". The crash happens instantly as soon as this hold is selected in the list. No other hold in the list causes this, and there is nothing in drod.err or drod.log.
Does this happen to anyone else?

I just encountered this crash myself in the stable macOS 5.1.1 release. My current OS version is 10.15.7.
