I'm experiencing odd text rendering issues. Each time I start the game there seems to be one letter which is mis-rendered every time it appears.
If I quit the game and launch it again, it may (or may not) be a different letter which is affected.
I'm attaching three screenshots (one from each of three different sessions).
This is SOS version 6 for Linux on Lubuntu 14.04 with a GeForce 8600 GTS.
n.b. I feel like I was getting the lower-case 'g' issue pretty consistently initially -- I was actually intending to post that there was a problem specifically with that character, but then I started to notice more variation. (I'm not certain of that though -- this version is the first one where the rest of the graphics are working, so I may not have been paying so much attention before now.)
That does indeed seem to have fixed it :) Or at least I've started the game three times and looked at plenty of text each time, and haven't spotted any issues, and I believe it was happening to me every time I ran the game previously. I'll follow up if I see it again, but at this point it looks like you've sorted it.
It's win 10 , Threadripper 3970x with 64 GB ram and a GTX 3090. I had the original version from a while back installed. I overwrote it that installation (or in this case unzipped to the same directory), and it started up fine and it asked to make a profile, but I declined just to try the game out quickly, then I played the first level and died rather quickly but it crashed. So I repeated it 2 more times and thought I might as well make a profile to see if it helped, and it didn't crash anymore. Though in hindsight, the old save file was there in the save directory so that could have been the cause of the crash. I just checked the save location and there are 2 files there now that were updated today, and on my backup from yesterday, there was just one file there from 2018.
Ah, i see. Yes, it would have been the old save file that was causing the issue..
To make sure you don't have any issues with the new file (SosSettings.sav), check if the password entry in the savefile says something like dev_numbers_hex, rather than anything else. it's normally on the second line of the file. If you want to reset the account to default/no account, you can change the user and password lines to read
username char _nouser
password char _nopass

I'm afraid this bug is still present, at least in the latest Linux build (v18, from July 13).
It happens on a fresh install, without any older savegames present. The game crashes upon death, when pausing and quitting to the map, and when choosing an exit after beating a level.
Also, don't know if releated or not, no score is computed when playing (see screenshot, taken after having shot several enemies).
Reproduced the crash and hopefully fixed the bug! New Windows and Linux versions now live.
Cheers
