Issues unresolved

The game freezes while connecting to a server on Linux

Linux version of the game depends on outdated version of glibc which causes crashes on modern distros.^[7]^[8]

Use SDLCL to enable native `Alt`+`Tab ↹`
Replace game's libSDL library with SDL Compatibility Library (SDLCL). When the game hangs, freezes or crashes, return to desktop with `Alt`+`Tab ↹` or "show desktop" shortcut of your distro. Kill etqw-rthread.x86 or etqw.x86 processes with system monitor of your distro, restart the game.

Issues fixed

Play Online gives Cancelled error, Online Accounts cannot be created or login

Authentication / Master Server shut down in January 2020.^[1]

Use offline account to manually connect servers^[9]

Launch the game > Create User > Create a user for offline use only > Username > Finish
Use Direct IP to manually connect servers.
