[SOLVED] Game consistently crashes while launching a new game or Tutorial

[tuk0z]

Game consistently crashes *after* reaching the main menu ie while launching a new game or the Tutorial.

Last time I could play was towards the end of January (that is before a27).
The issue seems to be different as the one encoutered by Victor13.

OS is Arch Linux; 0ad a27-3 (Feb 8th); 0ad-data a27-1 (Jan 30th).

Console:

Problem solved

[Stan`]

Switching to Vulkan (in the options) should fix it. Bug has been reported already and fixed upstream. Fix is in the flatpak

[tuk0z]

That works just fine, thank you @Stan`

Had read your answer to Victor13, but for some reason paid attention only to this part, not understanding the "if" wasn't the condition :

 If the game doesn't start at all you might try to start it with vulkan with the -conf=rendererbackend:vulkan command line arg.
