Can someone explain please what does rendering backend mean for SDL? SDL has some abstraction over graphics API?
I thought it's primarily useful for abstracting stuff like WSL / windowing integration and input and such.

Nice for them to add present_mode after I proposed that :) But it appears to be buggy and needs more investigation.

Quoting: M@GOidLast time I used this it wasn't playing nice with Vulkan and Wayland. How is it behaving now?Works fine, but I think it doesn't anticipate Wine running in Wayland mode yet judging by some X11 related errors it shows in that case. But it still works.

I tried it, but it has an annoying bug - you sometimes get half refresh rate on the monitor while game has double the framerate.
It's some subtle bug between Wine, KWin, radv (Mesa) and amdgpu (kernel). I'll revisit it once KDE Plasma 6.0 comes out, since it has a major KWin overhaul and it might be a waste of time chasing that bug before that.

Sort of ironic that a game about dealing with anti-utopian corpo politics is suffering from bad corpo decisions.

I like Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. And it did feel unfinished, so it would be a waste if they'll never make a sequel now.
