Hello! I downloaded Thrive several hours ago after hearing quite a bit about it and gave it a try. It seems quite interesting so far but I'm running into a peculiar bug on Linux (On Debian Stretch/Testing. GPU is NVIDIA GTX 960 with the proprietary drivers, version 367.44. OpenGL version 4.5). On the editor menu, everything looks quite different as to how it should, and I'm missing some options on the selection bar on the right. This video demonstrates the issue: my.mixtape.moe/nmlrhn.mp4

I also tried to run the Windows version through Wine, but it silently crashes without any information before I even get to the editor, as soon as it's in the gameplay stage. Likely just an odd quirk of Wine though.

Try playing in fullscreen mode. I have the same issue on linux, and it goes away when playing in fullscreen (delete your Ogre.cfg file, which is in something like ~/.config/Ogre2.0).
Though, fullscreen has issues with multiple monitors (which is an Ogre bug...). There's already an issue open for this: on github, which seems to be offline right now so I can't get a link

Thank you! Though that didn't seem to fix the issue. I did test the game out on my laptop (Arch Linux, OpenGL 3.0, Intel Ivybridge Mobile with Mesa 12.0.3 drivers) and the cell itself looks normal but the bar on the right still has the same issue as PC. It is running full-screen as well.

EDIT: There's also a strange visual bug on the cell in the main game

This is the discussion related to the issue: github.com/Revolutionary-Games/Thrive/issues/451
I forgot that this issue was fixed, but a newer version hasn't been released yet, so when the next version is released you should try again to see if it was fixed for you, too.
I haven't seen that cell graphical glitch, might be worth it to open an issue on Github for that.
