Problem with "High Res Scale Mode" and other bugs
Installed this a few days ago, running the linux version on arch linux. Couple of minor issues:

- Most annoyingly, the "High Res Scale Mode" option is buggy. I'm running at 1920x1080, and the fist time, I could just select it. When restarting the game, I'm back at the normal scale, and the option is still selected, but grayed out, while the resolution is still 1920x1080. One can fix this by changing resolution to something lower, and then back to 1920x1080. The option is then no longer grayed out, disabling and reenabling it then finally makes it work. But one has to do this everytime the game is started. This is the only option that doesn't seem to carry over correctly between restarts.

- The Anti-Aliasing option simply doesn't work. I can set the option, there's nothing weird going on with it, but AA is just never enabled. Using nvidia propriatary drivers here. A shame, because it would make the (already very nicely integrated) 3d characters blend in better with the beautiful backgrounds.

- I cannot exit the game. Hitting the confirmation button just brings you back to the main menu as if nothing happend. But alt-tabbing out of the game, I can just close the window using the task bar, and this seems to shut it down completly.

- Much weird behaviour in ingame menus having to do with items:

--ESPs and programs show up randomly either as equipped, or in the stash. They all show up and work fine once I jack in, but they clutter up the menus randomly the rest of the time.

--When buying (a lot of) items, entries start to show up double or tripple, sometimes instead of other entries, in the menu. This doesn't seem to affect gameplay/-logic to much. When I bought a lot of outfits to check them out, I suddenly had way more in the stash than should be possible, but when selling them, I did not end up with a lot more money. If it was just displayed wrongly, or if the game fixed the multiple entries once I tried to sell multiple items of which I only should have one, I cannot tell. This only happend with cloths so far, not with items I can actually have multiple times (granades etc)

-- I can buy cyberware I already own, which shouldn't be possible. I already have a leg replaced, but I don't have enough essence for a second one. I can still buy a leg, and put it in the slot where I already have the exact same one (it's not an upgrade). The essence doesn't change, the stats don't change, but the money is gone. I didn't have a problem with this, I tested it with a quicksave, but one might accedentally loose a lot of money this way.

All in all, the game runs fine, and beeing aware of the weird behaviour of the menus, I just keep my transactions simple, which makes most problems never show up. But it's still a bit annoying to have to second guess the interface all the time.

I wan't to take a minute to say that besides this minor issues, this game is freaking awesome. Picked it up in the sale, but didn't buy the dlc, because together that would have been still a little much for something I might not play for more than an hour. As it stands now, I'll probably pick up the DLC for full price, because this game is really worth the money. Great writing too, I haven't been sucked in like this by a game in a long time. Thanks, and thanks for the linux port!

Is the grayed out box fixed yet? It's been almost 4 years
