Known Issues and Issue Reporting
Please report issues with the mod in this thread.

Known Issues:

The regular game over screen is rendering still after enabling the mod / the game over screen has holes in it after disabling the mod. The game works fine after restarting.

The game pre-loads a lot of data at start-up, which includes the sprites/animations for the game over screen. This data is only ever loaded at game start, so if you enable/disable this mod from the in-game menu and immediately start a run then the game over screen will still use the sprites/animations loaded at game start-up. As such, it is recommended that you restart your game after enabling/disabling this mod for the proper sprites/animations to be utilized.

After enabling/disabling mods in the in-game menu, if I enable/disable this mod or enable/disable other mods while this mod is enabled, my game crashes when I try to load a run. The game works fine after restarting.

It's a known issue with shaders provided by mods that the game sometimes doesn't initialize them properly after enabling/disabling mods within the in-game menu, leading to crashes. If you are experiencing this issue, it is recommended that you restart your game after enabling/disabling mods in the in-game menu if you are using any mods with shaders, not just this mod.

I am using other mods with shaders (such as Revelations) and this mod messes with and/or disables those shaders / parts of the game over screen are darker than the rest.

It is a known issue with the modding API that only the first mod loaded that uses shaders will be allowed to use the callback that allows data to be sent to those shaders, which can cause issues. It is recommended to install and run Mod Compatibility Hack alongside this mod, as it fixes this issue.

Parts of the game over screen are brighter than usual while others are darker.

This mod utilizes a shader to brighten custom parts of the game over screen to counteract the screen-darkening effect of game overs, as it is currently impossible in the modding API to render over it. However, certain devices may experience issues with this shader, causing it to appear smaller/larger than usual. This may be counteracted by changing the Shader Scale Modifier value, which can be changed from within Mod Config Menu (recommended) or the mod's save file.

My game runs slow with this mod active.

This mod utilizes a shader to brighten custom parts of the game over screen to counteract the screen-darkening effect of game overs, as it is currently impossible in the modding API to render over it. It is a known issue that shaders provided by mods can run slowly on some devices, as can mods in general. Check the in-game console for any errors, and please report here with details if there are any. If not, then please try running this mod with all others disabled. If the slowdown persists, then the issue is likely device-specific due to shaders and as such is unable to be addressed properly. Apologies.

The Collection and Bestiary pages are blanked out with this mod active.

These features use the same sprites and animations as the game over screen, and are necessary to be blanked out to be able to render custom parts of the game over screen. Since there is no way currently to be able to render over the UI nor to render features in the main menu, there are no known ways to fix this issue currently. Apologies.

The My Stuff page in the pause screen is blanked out with this mod active.

This feature uses the same sprites and animations as the game over screen, and are necessary to be blanked out to be able to render custom parts of the game over screen. A custom implementation of this feature is available through Revelations, and is compatiable with this mod. There are no plans currently to include such a feature in this mod.

A mod I'm playing with has enemy/item game over sprites, but this mod removes them.

Such mods likely lack support for this mod. If those mods are known to have support for this mod but isn't working currently, then please check the in-game console for errors and report them here.
