When you do the following:

1. Replace x2goclient's VcXsrv folder with that upstream VcXsrv 1.19.2.0
2. Start an X2Go session
3. Suspend the session.
4. Replace x2goclient's VcXsrv folder with its default version, 1.17.0.0-3 (X2Go/Arctica builds)
5. Reconnect & resume the X2Go session

You get the error message: Failed to restore all the required visuals And the session fails to resume.

You are downgrading the X server in this scenario. The older X might indeed have fewer/other visuals, so that behaviour could be correct.

Howewer, nx 3.5.99.x has a feature called "tolerancechecks=strict/safe/risky/bypass" that might help here.
