If you are sure you did everything correct and nothing helped report this bug on ddnet’s discord #bugs channel. You are the first encountering this situation. The only known modern GPU that caused problems is an AMD ryzen 3 2200g, if you don’t use the AMD beta drivers (confirmed with Adrenalin 22.5.1 Recommended (WHQL)) | If you are sure you did everything correct and nothing helped report this bug on ddnet’s discord #bugs channel.

It’s also quite possible that the problem is not GFX related. Try to disable your Anti-Virus for DDNet, make sure you use a recent Windows/Linux/macOS version. Always try 64-bit versions first as they are more tested. | It’s also quite possible that the problem is not GFX related.
