Issues fixed

Game does not start on Linux with Wayland

Game starts and immediately exits with no launcher or window appearing
This happens on systems which are configured to use Wayland by default (see Linux#Wayland or Xorg?)
Force the game to use Xorg[3]

Set Steam launch options to QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 %command%
