Hello,

I just installed the 1.131 GOG version and when I try to start CR all I get is a badly jumbled mess (that is also invisible until I set my window manager to put CR into fullscreen and back).

The version I had installed previously (2.13.0.15, 1.122 GOG?) worked fine today (I just got an error message about the version mismatch with the server).

Linux (Bedrock Linux with Devuan) x86_64
[AMD/ATI] RV790 [Radeon HD 4890]
radeon xorg driver (xserver-xorg-video-radeon 1:7.8.0-1~bpo8+1)

edit: note workaround in title
output on console:

Full re-installation did not help. The file I downloaded from GOG is
chaos_reborn_en_1_131_14290.sh with

Strangely, I also have two directories in ~/.config/unity3d/:

"Snapshot Games Inc_" and "Snapshot Games Inc."

I'm not having any problems on my Linux (Some version of Ubuntu, I forget which, sorry).
There's also some discussion over here about running on Linux:

Hello Rafi,

Thank you!

Putting the value to 0 on the line
<pref name="Screenmanager Is Fullscreen mode" type="int">0</pref>
in the prefs file largely solved it for me, too

The only glitch remaining for me so far is that the custom mouse cursor has grown an extra "corner" (see photo attached) but when targeting with the upper left corner it works fine and thankfully the UI elements in CR are rather large so it's not that big an issue (although a fix would be nice!).

On the issue with the two directories I just use now the one with the newest time stamp (with the underscore) and copied the prefs file from the other (since it had more customization entries in it) and so far it works well.

See you on the shards (meh, been away so long /me even forgot basic lore vocabulary :S)

Thanks for posting your workaround, I'll add the info the the bug database entry on this problem.
