Crashes and performance drops on Linux native build (Debian 13 sid) #37

Description

@SmashingQuasar

Hey,

So I tried running the Prepatcher on Debian 13 sid (kernel 6.19, fully updated on 2026-05-08) with the native Linux build.

I encountered many issues, which I will simply condense in a single issue.

Crash on load

When starting up the game with Prepatch active, the game will take an extreme amount of time loading, sometimes 10 minutes, and often simply eventually exits without logs. I did try removing just the Prepatcher and everything went back to normal, so it is definitely tied to this mod.

World generation crash

When generating a new world, very often, the game will either crash completely, or encounter a cascade of errors and immediately go back to the world generation screen. This is most likely a combination of the Prepatcher and World builder not playing nice together.

Significant performance drops

In the rare situations where I was able to access a brand new world (I did not add this mid save), I encountered some severe performance degradation notably when building new walls. The degradation happens when dragging the wall preview, once the click is released, everything goes back to normal.

My belief is that this mod relies on definitions that are specific to the .NET framework and are probably unstable or hacky within Mono.
