          1. This article might be posted on a website called “Gaming on Linux”, but @Wesnoth is available on many more platforms besides Linux, so if you have a computer of any sorts, you are able to play it and contribute!

          Some specific bugs I’d like fixed: One is this one I experienced when trying to introduce the game to @CJluvsMJ27 on her computer: github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/issues/6030

        Vsync support probably falls under the header of the desire to move to a new rendering engine as described in the initial article: github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/issues/5018

      Better autosaving support for scenarios with dialogue options would be helpful for branching campaigns such as “The South Guard”: github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/issues/5118

    This is probably another one that falls under the “move from software rendering to hardware-accelerated rendering” header: github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/issues/5814

      A lot of people would like Steam achievements for Wesnoth, and it turns out that there is actually a way to do that for FOSS games like Wesnoth! We just need to figure out how to do it: github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/issues/6008

        HDPI support would be really helpful for players with poor eyesight; there are a number of issues that fall under this umbrella, but this is the master one: github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/issues/2219

          Besides HDPI support, there’s also improvements to the zoom-in/zoom-out functionality that could be made to help people with poor eyesight; this is one such bug: github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/issues/5420

            One more under the header of things to fix to improve the rendering pipeline: github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/issues/5737

                There’s other bugs I’m keeping an eye on, too, but these are what I consider some of the most important, so I’ll take a break from this thread for now…
