Hey everyone. literally just installing through stream on ubuntu 22 and trying to launch it results in the error message: "Error: Couldn't load project data at path ".". Is the .pck file missing? If you've renamed the executable, the associated .pck file should also be renamed to match the executable's name (without the extension)."

To be clear, when trying to launch it from steam i don't see this message, it just instantly fails to launch. going into the directory where its installed and trying to run it manually with ./linux_x11_64_release is how i see that error message.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

If i grab Godot_v3.5-stable_x11.64.zip from the website and extract it, i can run Godot:

./Godot_v3.5-stable_x11.64 
Godot Engine v3.5.stable.official.991bb6ac7 - https://godotengine.org
libGL error: failed to create dri screen
libGL error: failed to load driver: nouveau
OpenGL ES 3.0 Renderer: Mesa Intel(R) UHD Graphics (CML GT2)
Async. shader compilation: OFF

but moving that executable to the folder where steam installed it does not work (the root directory or the template directory where the other binaries are installed), I tried without renaming it and renaming it to the original file names steam had in its directory.

#

I would of expected it to work out of the box just installing it through steam, But I am glad i CAN use godot, but i would like to know how to fix it so it can be launched through steam (and understand why it doesnt just work as intended, if its specific to my setup or if others have had this same issue on ubuntu 22.04?)
