Hi.

I advise you to use game-data-packager to package & install game data.

[Lars Martin Hambro (lars-martin4)]

I have installed game-data-packager (67)

Same here. It works with the 'nosound' parameter.

Weird thing is that it does show the splash screen (logo rotating), but when it doesn't show the main menu.

I thought it could be a pipewire thing, but don't know for sure. I had it working on 21.04 when pulseaudio was active, but it could also be something else.
