Raz takes damage in the game normally, and the health indicator appears, but it always shows full health. If he takes enough damage he'll die, while still showing a full health bar

Correction -- it always shows whatever your health was when you loaded the save
Comment 2 David Gow 2012-06-03 08:12:45 EDT 
I can confirm this with the new test build.

It seems that sometimes the health-bar does redraw properly, notably after dying when it is reset to full health. Sometimes it does update after damage, but this is quite rare and I can't get it to happen consistently.

It seems that "health indicator" also includes the lives counter. I noticed it update once after a scene transition.
Comment 4 Isaac Smith 2012-06-06 17:07:48 EDT 
I have the same problem.

Confirming that it always shows whatever your health was when you loaded a save.
Comment 6 Matt 2012-06-09 23:55:55 EDT 
I can also confirm this behaviour.

Interestingly, I don't believe I had this problem during Basic Braining, but I did have this bug in every other course

I have this bug also during Basic Braining.

Marking a bunch of rendering/sound/gameplay bugs as Priority 2.

Just to let everyone here know, the new 0.5 patch does not fix this.
Comment 11 André Fettouhi 2012-10-09 06:12:37 EDT 
Is this bug going to get fixed anytime soon? It has been almost two months since the last test build.
Comment 12 Hamish Paul Wilson 2012-11-13 22:55:08 EST 
Still happening to me too with the version released on 2012-08-15. 

System specs:
Operating System: Fedora 16 Linux
Video Card: AMD Radeon HD 4670 (R600 Gallium 3D Drivers)
Memory: 4 Gigabytes
Processor: AMD Sempron CPU 2.7 Ghz
Hard Drive: 2 TB Western Digital Caviar Green

This, plus the screen blur after using the bacon/collecting someones brain (as well as just slow performance in general) are the main things making the Linux port still frustrating to use.

This will be fixed in the next build.
