* The input configuration can be a bit glitchy on some devices, most notably the setup of trigger buttons for Xbox and PlayStation controllers. Once configured everything should work fine though. This configuration issue will hopefully be resolved in ES-DE v1.1 with the move to the SDL2 GameController API.
* Some artifacts can be present with the gaussian blur shader, and screen tearing can be seen when using the slide transitions with certain graphics drivers and resolutions. Both of these issues only affect the upper part of the screen. The second issue is apparently more prevalent when running ES-DE at a lower resolution on 4K displays by using the --resolution command line option. These problems will hopefully be resolved in ES-DE v1.2 when moving to the GLM library.
* The launching of games can freeze ES-DE on some Windows installations. It probably only occurs on Windows 8.1 and older but that's not confirmed. The setting 'Run in background (while game is launched)' can be enabled to get around this problem, but this causes some other issues so it should only be used as a last resort. It's unclear if this problem can or will be resolved. If it's confirmed to only affect older Windows versions, then it's probably not worthwhile fixing it.
* On Windows, if not running ES-DE on the primary display and the display where it runs does not have the same scaling percentage as the primary display, 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 then this issue will not occur.
* Scraping using ScreenScraper could lead to errors when exceeding the allowed requests per minute. This will cause a popup window to be displayed in ES-DE with the option available to retry the scraping for the current game (you should first wait a minute or so though or the error will immediately reoccur). This is not really a fault in the application per-se but rather a restriction of ScreenScraper. A request per minute limiter is planned for ES-DE v1.4, which should help with avoiding this problem.
