Works fine, but you're probably playing this game docked, which is a bit of a hassle if you want native res.

Tinker Steps:Set launch options, Changed configuration

SteamTenfoot=0 SteamDeck=0 %command%

<gamedir>/jbg.config.jet

"supportsFullScreen":"true",

Difficult To Read Text:

Game tries to always run in 1280x720 resolution, even when running docked. Launch options and config file changes fix this.

Windowing:Activating Fullscreen, Size

After changing the config files as stated, go to ingame Settings and turn on "Full-screen mode" to display at screen resolution.

On Wayland, it has a windowing issue, solved by using gamescope, but in general it's a great experience

Windowing:Size

Game window is maximized, but the actual image is still displayed in the original size (only on Wayland, it's fine on X11)
