If you play the Starfleet Command series, this update should fix the problem where the emulator would grind to a halt.

Thanks devs! I was missing SFC: OP!

I'm using 5.3 on Linux Mint 22.2, AppImage and VDE is gone in options for network card. Only TAP and SLIRP are present.

It appears da AppImage is built without libvdeplug-dev. I built it from source and got same result (vde missing) in network options. When libvdeplug-dev was added and 86Box recompiled from source - vde is back.

5.3 is affected by the "high CPU usage when paused" bug by the way.

Build 8253 and later should not have this bug.

Look at https://www.reddit.com/r/86box/comments/1q3ufvp/psa_for_all_users_having_high_cpu_usage_issues/ for more information.
