| [Linux/macOS] FNA Update, Data Desync Fix | 2021-12-06 | A minor update was made to the Linux/macOS versions of Streets of Rage 4 today, with two changes: - Update to FNA 21.12, mostly a Vulkan and SDL update - A possible integrity issue was found in the last version's "bigfile", which could lead to multiplayer desyncs with the Windows version.
