Torchlight Linux
If you want to play on HumbleBundle edition of Torchlight you need old libSDL2 library.
Someone forgotten about that.
With latests libSDL2 it won't work. You will have issues with mouse pointer.
Cursor will have black outline. You won't be able to click on anything etc.
So I prepared modified libSDL2 lib which will able you to play this game with no issues.

That's those libSDL libs. You need to copy it to lib64 dir where you've installed Torchlight, in my case it was /home/kkszysiu/.games/Torchlight/lib64/
