Not a problem I've had up until very recently as I was able to screen share almost my entire playthrough of Chrono Trigger, but it started happening within the last week.

I load up a game, swap over to discord to screen share, and when I swap back Retro Arch is stuck paused. I have found a way to pause it in the default keybinds, but can't seem to unpause the same way. I also can't close the window and am forced to close all of RetroDeck, which means it *might* be a hard crash, but I can't be certain.

Has anyone had any similar experiences lately?

I've heard all the praise this game gets, and agree with most of it so far. The worst I've come across is failing to get certain flags to progress the story, leading me to run around aimlessly for a bit. I didn't quite walk over the second sky bridge in the dark ages fully so I didn't realize I had access to the rest of the area yet.

This is the kind of "problem" I can shrug off. Most people probably didn't even have this issue. Now that I'm towards the end though... It's baffling. Death Peak was so miserable for me I almost gave up tonight.

Now that I'm trying up all the areas I couldn't access before I had wings, the first stop ended up being the Proto Dome. I ended up having to save state and quit due to the late hour, but the timing on the electric doors is ridiculously tight.

I honestly don't know where I was going with this. Maybe I just needed to vent, but to have a mostly smooth experience for 16 or so hours, and then hit the wall. It was super jarring.
