Issues unresolved
Smart camera option does not work
The smart (automatic) camera stays on, even if you disable it in the game options or through the game's configuration files.[3]
Thermometer bar in wrong location
When using widescreen resolutions, occasionally the 'thermometer' bar for pyrokinesis will be displayed at the outer-edge of the screen rather than near the targeted object/creature. There are no known fixes to this bug.
Linux version differences
Mouse movement in this game feels entirely different from Windows (no zigzags, smoother).
Issues fixed
Save game profiles not removed from DRM-free releases
The GOG.com and Humble Store releases of the game incorrectly include saved profiles used by a developer from Double Fine.[4] The profiles also reconfigure the gamepad control scheme even if you don't use them, so to restore the default control scheme it is necessary to delete them.
