gollark: 2.2.6, it's the version the AUR has.
gollark: It seems like two potatOS things trigger timeouts when they don't in CCEmuX: CRCing the potatOS source code, and some font library. I'll try turning it up to 2000ms then.
gollark: Is it "abortTimeout"? If so, what unit is that?
gollark: Also, how do you control how long it takes to error "too long without yielding"?
gollark: I had segfaults when running potatOS a bit, but I tweaked the code to stop it randomly erroring as much and it now doesn't do that.
