(Bonus question -- do you have a default web browser set?)

Out of interest, does the game also crash if you go to Stats & Info -> About and press on game-icons.net link? That uses same engine function to open link to https://game-icons.net

In the paragraph of text on the left-ish side, 2nd line of text -- Icons courtesty of <link>

Hm, strange that it doesn't work 🤔 Documentation says it should work on Linux, and we also have several respondants using Linux. It might be some specific edge case the engine doesn't handle for some reason.
Might just be an engine bug we can't do much about -- although we are looking into updating to newer version of engine where this might/might not be improved 🤔

#

I see! There have been some other issues with Linux and window management things (I'm not familiar with the details of Linux and window management, so I'll refrain from trying to go too much into detail) -- so I'm not really sure how much we can improve this on our side

#

I see! Explains why it's so tricky to get working in all cases, at least!
From our side, there's not a lot we can do since most of this stuff is heavily abstracted away and dealt with by the internals of the game engine itself
