Here's a press release from inXile that we didn't get yesterday because it got lost in the mail somehow:

Wasteland 2 Early Access Now on Linux
Major Update Released

Newport Beach, CA – April 18 2014 – Today inXile is proud to add Linux support to Wasteland 2 Early Access, making it available on all three platforms promised in the Wasteland 2 Kickstarter: Windows, OSX and Linux.

Along with Linux support, the beta version of Wasteland 2 has seen a major update, adding another major area in Arizona, the new vendor screen, and numerous tweaks, fixes and optimization passes. The full patch notes list roughly 400 such changes: http://wastelandrpg.tumblr.com/post/83039841274/wasteland-2-early-beta-update-39080-notes

With these major systems implemented, Wasteland 2 is in the final stages of development. The Steam Early Access Release now includes over 40% of the game.
​

We already know all about this update, since it was described extensively in the previous two Kickstarter updates, but for completeness' sake, here's a list of the main improvements from the changelog:

High Profile Fixes:

The Titans have been released! A new area is available.

The vendor screen has been completely redesigned!

Waiting for the next 5gig patch, or perhaps the release. I'm tired of slogging through the opening area.

Not to hop into tech support mode too much, but feel free to report this on CenterCode or drop an email to support@inxile.net. A dxdiag report would be very useful, as well as a more accurate description of the cursor issues (i.e. how exactly do these issues manifest).
