Showing black on Netbook w/sub-720p resolution
« on: May 19, 2015, 12:25:31 PM »

I am running Cogmind on WINE and when I start the game I can fully view the hud for all times but only can see the character and his surroundings for only a brief amount of time - 5 seconds approx

Is it a bug or the game is supposed to be dark and we need to hit some power switch or something.
Forgive me for my foolish question if its meant to be a part of the game.

No, this is not normal, but I have a guess--are you running on a very small laptop? If so, press F3 and switch to ASCII mode. Tiles aren't supported below 720p. Only ASCII, but the game starts in tiles mode.

This is something I apparently screwed up when I made a change the DAY before launch, so it counts as a bug.

I'll have this fixed for next release, and thank you for reporting!
