Its been a long time since I am using software renderer setting true when using tiles. But I patiently played at this setting even though there are appearance glitches. like that i cannot see smoke, acid, blood etc.Also I notice when I sleep or crafting the screen sort of freeze or the screen not refreshing. I have to wait staring on moving screen. In older versions ways back this is not an issue and I can see the in game clock ticking.
In older version after the stable I can turn software renderer setting to false and the graphics is good. Is anyone aware or this issue. I hope this will be fixed it is a long time ever since.
Windows XP and Windows 7 in my netbook glitch the same
most of the time i use waldo tileset.

I have been getting the sort-of-freeze on sleeping for ages, certainly before 0.A.
