Hi,

I use mostly linux so i tried the linux version under cachyos (latest kde under wayland) to stream to my mister.
The problem is i get input from the mister controller, but nothing from my pc keyboard. So i cannot open the menu to assign any input (coin, start...)
I tried with a xorg session and magically the keyboard start working, so it's a wayland specific issue.

I wouldn't mind much if xorg wasn't dying so hard on linux (and i hate wayland). Today i tried to start a xorg session and it wasn't even working anymore, probably with a recent update  :banghead:

Wow, thanks a lot!

Edit: just read the documentation and tested it on my desktop PC (LCD and Nvidia). As intealls said it looks like all issues are addressed with this release. All possible improvements have been implemented too it seems. That's really really great!
One note, on my PC, even though it's not recommended for LCD, D3D11 works fine, better than D3D actually.
