Nah, the custom SDL versions messes everything up.
This is surprising to hear since SDL has never been an issue for me and I have been playing every version as soon as they are released for many years. Is it something that affects the Mac version (which I have never tried)?
Yes, I had no problem on Linux whatsoever. It's just Mac that has these weird issues.
