* There is an issue with launching games on Windows when using AMD and Intel GPUs. This causes the emulator to just output a blank screen. There is a workaround available for this which is enabled by default and that can be disabled via the menu option "AMD and Intel GPU game launch workaround". The drawback of this workaround is that a white instead of a black screen will be displayed when launching games. If using an Nvidia GPU, it should be safe to disable this option for a slightly better user experience. An alternative workaround is to enable the option "Run in background (while game is launched)". * There is an issue with launching games on Windows when using AMD and Intel GPUs.

* On Windows when using high DPI displays, if not running ES-DE on the primary monitor and the display where it runs does not have the same scaling percentage as the primary monitor, then the ES-DE resolution will not be properly set. The application will still work and if running in fullscreen mode it may not even be noticeable. This issue is caused by a bug in SDL where the primary display scaling is always used for calculating the display bounds and as such it needs to be fixed in that library. If using the same scaling percentage across all monitors, or if not using high DPI monitors at all, then this issue will not occur. * On Windows when using high DPI displays, if not running ES-DE on the primary monitor and the display where it runs does not have the same scaling percentage as the primary monitor, then the ES-DE resolution will not be properly set. The application will still work and if running in fullscreen mode it may not even be noticeable. This issue is probably caused by a bug in SDL where the primary display scaling is always used for calculating the display bounds and as such it needs to be fixed in that library. If using the same scaling percentage across all monitors, or if not using high DPI monitors at all, then this issue will not occur.
* On Fedora 35 an issue has been observed where the screen turns completely black when starting ES-DE for the first time. A workaround for this is to simply exit the application with F4 or Alt+F4 and starting it again. Everything should then render correctly, and any subsequent startups will work fine including after suspending/resuming the computer. It's currently unclear if this is limited to only some graphics drivers or if it's a general issue under Fedora and/or Wayland.
* Sometimes when RetroArch has been upgraded to a newer version, it apparently requires a startup to get properly initialized. When ES-DE starts RetroArch it always does so by passing some specific emulator core parameters, which does not seem to initialize RetroArch after such an upgrade. What happens in this case is that the RetroArch loading screen will be shown and then it will quit right back to ES-DE. If confirmed to be the case, this is not an ES-DE issue but a RetroArch issue and starting RetroArch separately once should fix the problem.
