All I get when starting the game is a black screen and background music. After going back and forth between full screen and windowed I get a pointer that's obviously bugged and sometimes background graphics for what I presume is the title screen at the very top of the window as if everything is offset or incorrectly centered.

No, it's a bug in a library we use that only happens on macOS Mojave. A workaround until this is fixed is to move around the window a bit.

Yes, it's kind of annoying, but right now we can't do much about it. We have to wait until the SDL2 library is fixed. Sorry.

Thanks fo the quick response! Of course I forgot to list my system and yes, I'm running Mojave.

2012 retina MPB (Intel HD 4000 + GeForce GT 650M), 16GB RAM, macOS Mojave.

EDIT: I guess this is what you describe:

Yes, exactly.

https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4272 has just been resolved FIXED. Would you need to wait for an updated SDL release?

I've uploaded a beta version of ADOM that uses the most current version of the SDL2 library. Since I've compiled this library myself and since it's still in beta itself, I would not recommend to use this ADOM beta in general.

But if the black window really bothers you, you can give it a try. The ADOM FAQ contains pointers on how you enable the beta channel in GOG Galaxy. The screenshot shows how it should look if the beta is enabled.

Thank you, really appreciate this! I'll give it a try tonight and reply here.

jterstiege: ...
Works like a charm thank you! The reason it bothered me too much is because the "move the window" fix didn't really fix the issue on Retina screen for some reason - and I had to tweak more and set "Open app in low resolution" and then move the window on every launch.

Not anymore!
