This seems to only happen on Linux

[coreybruce]

I'll have to test to see if it does it on my PC and just a bug on the Raspberry pi or a bug on Linux itself.

Wanted to also ask off topic if there will be enhancements added to this open source version of the game like 16:9 or up-scaling and anti aliasing?

[MrSapps]

yeah there will be - if you have discord you can join the server to see progress on such topics :)

apparently this bug can be worked around by forcing SDL2 to use the software instead of the opengl backend

[coreybruce]

Oh ok so will it be switched to SDL since it probably doesn't need OpenGL or will there be some sort of launch argument for SDL?

[MrSapps]

SDL uses software, opengl and other "backends" but this bug only manifests with openg, the issue is in our code not SDL

[coreybruce]

I assume this is already being worked on? :)
