Hey everyone! I'm trying to get Pico Connect running again on my Linux machine because I can't seem to get ALVR to work with my specs. However, I'm facing a problem where Pico Connect isn't displaying any text and the window looks really glitchy. I've set my winecfg to use Windows 10 and I'm on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed Slowroll.
Here are my system specs:
- OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed-Slowroll 20251002
- KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.5
- KDE Frameworks Version: 6.18.0
- Qt Version: 6.9.2
- Kernel Version: 6.17.5-1.0.8.sr20251001-default (64-bit)
- CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-8400 @ 2.80GHz (6 cores)
- RAM: 16 GiB (15.6 GiB usable)
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050
I'm aware that these specs aren't great for PC VR, but the software worked fine on Windows. I'm unable to upgrade my hardware soon, so any advice would be really appreciated. I've attached a link to a screenshot of what Pico Connect looks like on my end.

I had a similar issue on Fedora with Pico Connect. What I did was ensure I had the default Wine settings alongside the corefonts package, and that sorted it out for me. It's worth a try if you haven't done that yet!
You might want to check if you have the corefonts installed, as sometimes missing fonts can cause text display issues. You can install them using winetricks. It could help with those glitchy visuals too! Let me know if that does the trick!
I actually do have corefonts installed already, so I wonder which font is still missing. It's frustrating!
