Attempting to change resolution or go from fullscreen to windowed from the video options causes the game to disappear, and then a few seconds later the game silently terminates.

Prior to a recent update, there was also an error window which appeared that said something along the lines of "SDL failed to create window".

I see a crash deep in the guts of the miles library, I haven't been able to track it down further than that yet.

Happens also under GNU/Linux for me.
But why is this issue marked as "High priority"?

Crashing is bad, mkay. I have a fix for the windows issue. The Linux issue happens on some OS's due to them incorrectly pinning open hw.so (due to symbol leakage), I am also going to investigate a fix for that.

Nothing extracted yet.
