      I can open and run FAF Client fine, but when I go to open the game, I get either exit code 3 or I just get a black window with the not responding notification. I am running Pop! OS 22.04 with an Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-9100 CPU @ 3.60GHz and a GeForce GTX 1660.

        @edbernard @iczero can help you more with linux installs, but a glance at the log you posted indicates that the DirectX version that SCFA uses didn't get installed correctly. There's an installer in your root Steam SCFA folder > DirectX > DXSETUP.exe, but I don't know how you'd use that on linux.

          thanks for the help, I tried it on ubuntu 23.10. It worked, but it was super laggy to the point that it was unplayable. I don't know why it works on ubuntu and not Pop! OS.
