    So this should be classified as a minor issue, but I don't think necessarily it should be ignored either as it may point to something more fundamental. I know not a lot of people use bbLean to play the game, but it seems that if you do the game immediately crashes on startup after "creating SDL window" in the log for those using the standard bbLeanSkin plugin. I've had this problem with zero other games so far (I don't even want to go over how hard it was for me to even figure out it was caused by this and how many hours I spent trying different things before I finally stumbled upon the answer,) so it seems to me this could point to something more fundamental in how this particular game is working that no other game I have ever run does apparently.

    Meanwhile it seems the best solution is to add the game to the exclusions list in bbLeanSkin. This works fine for a temporary solution but is a pretty messy solution overall since a game shouldn't just crash due to the shell's theme engine. I know there aren't a lot of bbLean users here and this is not going to be a high priority, but, as I said, it points to a more fundamental problem and really should at least be looked into eventually even if not exactly a rush job.

    Hopefully if any other bbLean users run into this problem they'll find this via a search as well.
