      Ubuntu 21.04, followed the guide here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rv3ZXA4FNFk

      What additional information would be useful to know?

      SC:FA runs fine when I launch it from steam or with a script.

        The problem is using the ~ for /home/fred

        Use this to launch instead:

        /home/fred/faf/run "%s"

        Hope this helps and your username is fred 😛
