... The game crashes at various stages while loading the main menu. Can be reproduced with the demo version. ... See also bug #53683. ...
Oh my goodness, thank you - I have been struggling to reproduce what's going on in Bug #53683 and this app did it immediately. It looks like the issue is a leaked file descriptor. Please go to the end of lookup_unix_name (~4360) and change: === fchdir( old_cwd ); free( name_buf ); === to: === fchdir( old_cwd ); close ( old_cwd ); free( name_buf ); === and let me know if that fixes the problem for you.
That worked for me, thank you Erich! All the affected games that I know of are starting properly with it.
