Linux players: this build fixes two issues that prevented TideWane from launching on modern Linux desktops. On native Wayland sessions (Hyprland, GNOME Wayland, KDE Plasma Wayland, Sway, etc.), the game would crash on startup with a GTK initialization error from the in-game WebView. On NVIDIA GPUs, the game window would render fully black even though audio played — the WebView's GPU compositor wasn't drawing to the surface. Both are now handled by a small launcher script that ships with the build. No action needed beyond installing the update. Still required on Linux: webkit2gtk-4.1 must be installed at the OS level (e.g. sudo pacman -S webkit2gtk-4.1 on Arch, sudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0 on Ubuntu 24.04+). Windows and macOS builds are unchanged in this update.
