Linux

Known Issues

  • On Linux, having a capital letter anywhere in a custom level’s filepath will result in a crash upon entering the Load Custom screen. This is an engine-level issue. For the best custom level compatibility, it's recommended to instead play the Windows version via a compatibility layer (e.g. Proton).
