I’m on Linux. The game played fine just two weeks ago, and this update completely bricked the game for Linux users.
If you look at my post history, I also complained about this in February. They’ve broken the game several times in one year now - all they have to do is just leave it alone and focus on their next game. This isn’t a beta project. It’s a mature game that people expect to work a certain way.
If Funcom’s developers want to try something new with the combat system, then they should do so in their next game.
