Widescreen resolution
Upscaling comparison. On left is how game is outputting image in fullscreen on a 1920x1080 display and on the right is how game renders and how it looks in windowed mode. As it renders the game before upscaling, also overlays are effected.
- Fullscreen acts as an borderless fullscreen instead of actual fullscreen mode and upscales game from base resolution using Nearest-neighbor interpolation instead of outputting 1280x720 resolution directly, so with resolutions not divideable with that resolution will look janky. Some assets in "NEO Cartoon" mode are already upscaled making it even worse[1] and this behaviour can't be changed.
- There are few ways to bypass this issue.

Lack of Sound/Sound Crash (Error 0x80040154)
- Upon launching the game, a prompt appears that reads "Error 0x80040154". The game continues to load. However, after the intro screen for MarvelousAQL, the sound crashes. Upon verifying the integrity of the game's cache, one file fails to validate and Steam downloads a 528 byte file that does not fix the problem.

Notes
- ↑ Notes regarding Steam Play (Linux) data:
- File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data.
- Games with Steam Cloud support may also store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/214830/. - Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (214830) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.
