Bug Description
Set Warzone to use full screen mode and 2560x1440 then restart.
Launch Warzone, choose Single Player > Start Skirmish Game
Whilst you are choosing game preferences or when you click the checkbox to begin the game the program will freeze. The issue came sometimes by overcome by switching to a different VT and then switching back.
I have been playing Warzone on Ubuntu for years using all versions up to the upstream 3.2.2 without any problems. This problem started with Ubuntu 16.10
I have replicated this problem on a clean download of Ubuntu 16.10 using the 3.1.1 version of Warzone from the software repository.
My system is Ubuntu Gnome 16.10 x64, Intel Skylake i5-6600K, HD Graphics 530
