Thank you for this update! I can finally use the native Linux version without any problem. Previously, it had an issue where I could not double-click with a pen tablet, so I was forced to use the Windows version with Proton. Tested the new build on Linux today at work and no problems so far! Great job!

There are no too many new features, you can find some new little features in the [v1.3.18-beta1](https://community.aseprite.org/t/aseprite-v1-3-17-v1-3-18-beta1/28092/1) post and [v1.3.18-beta2](https://community.aseprite.org/t/aseprite-v1-3-17-1-v1-3-18-beta2/28279/1) (v1.3.18 includes all those changes).

Hi @Steven, it looks like you didn’t create an account in [Aseprite - User - New](http://aseprite.org/user/new) with your email address, but after that you should be able to access the files.

Remember that your account in this forum ([community.aseprite.org](http://community.aseprite.org)) is not the same as in [Aseprite - User](http://aseprite.org/user)

Hi!

I have a quick question.

I own two Aseprite licenses: one through Steam and another through Humble Bundle.

My Steam version is already updated, but the Humble Bundle download is still the previous version. In Aseprite I can see that **1.3.18.1** is available, but I can’t download it from Humble Bundle.

Is the new version still going to be released on Humble Bundle, or has something changed?

Thanks!

I cannot currently see any downloads on /user on the Aseprite website, I could see them when I first signed up, but now it’s just telling me to buy it again.. I already purchased on humble ages ago.

Hello @dacap , the same is happening to me. I’ve bought Aseprite through Humble Bundle a lot of time ago. I kept updating through their website until now, that the v1.3.18.1 is not available there. I’ve registered on the Aseprite website with the same email, but on my user page, I just see the option to purchase again, I cannot download the new version. Can I get help with this?

Thank you so much! 🙂

Hi @noin04, I’ve just fixed your account.

Sorry about these inconveniences, but Humble Bundle didn’t share with us the list of all our customers that purchased Aseprite from Humble Bundle Store. They only shared the information of customers that purchased from Humble Bundle Widget. So we must manually check each customer from Humble Bundle Store (sometimes going through 6 captchas to validate just one customer).

Hi @beechris84, you can create a new account in [aseprite.org/user/new](https://aseprite.org/user/new/) with your email, we have your Humble Bundle purchase registered, so you will be able to download new updates from [aseprite.org/user](https://aseprite.org/user) directly.
