Currently, there are three rendering APIs supported: DirectX11 (Windows), OpenGL (all platforms), and Metal (macOS). You can change which API to use in the Settings menu of the menubar, which requires a restart. If you're having an issue with crashing, you can change the API in the Ghostship.cfg.json file by finding the line "Backend":{... and changing the id value to 3 and set the Name to OpenGL. DirectX 11 with id 2 is the default on Windows. Metal with id 4 is the default on macOS.
Custom assets are packed in .o2r or .otr files. To use custom assets, place them in the mods folder.
