Summary	0019674: Freeze on Startup / Blank Screen on Startup
Description	I cannot run starward rogue 2 times in a row without modifying the unity prefs. It freezes on a blank black screen or on a flashing screen. Computer: Ubuntu 18.04 Lenovo X260 yoga Intel Graphics Solution: I can reliably start it up by doing the following SW$ cat start.sh #!/bin/bash sed -i 's#<pref name="Screenmanager Is Fullscreen mode" type="int">1</pref>#<pref name="Screenmanager Is Fullscreen mode" type="int">0</pref>#' \ ~/'.config/unity3d/Arcen Games, LLC/Starward Rogue/prefs' ./StarwardRogueLinux.x86_64 SW$ bash start.sh If I don't do that I get 1 of 2 behaviours. 1. Black screen with mouse cursor that disappears 2. Maybe just maybe a picture of the base and the star that flickers black and doesn't load. But if I set this value at startup consistently I can run the game consistently. That said (ha) I am using sed on XML which doesn't feel right. BTW the updater doesn't work so I cannot update to the latest version (2.004) (this is the humble monthly bundle collection) This is similar to issue 19348

Chris_McElligottPark Jul 2, 2018 9:23 am administrator ~0047677	I'm guessing that this is a bug in unity, since that's the unity fullscreen code there. Right now I'm waiting for unity 2018.2 to come out of beta, as it has a variety of linux improvements. When that does, then I'll likely upgrade this game to that.
