Runs fine for me on Kubuntu 24.04 LTS.

Works without issues for me on Linux Mint as well

Joining this thread because I also have an issue with the AppImage.

Linux LMDE 6.

AppImage and TFTD+UFO folders are stored the following directory:
"home/myuser/Games/openxcom"
When I launch the AppImage from this location, it works.

I  created a launcher for the AppImage on the desktop (R-click > Create new launcher here). When I launch from the launcher, it does not work.

Any idea how to solve it?
I notice on the third line that "Data folder is:" is not followed by anything, perhaps that is the cause?

Thanks

Where you keep `UFO` folder?

[robin]

"home/myuser/Games/openxcom/UFO"

[psavola]

This is probably a problem related to how you create the launcher and missing current working path, not an issue in AppImage.

Try adding the following to the launcher .desktop file using a text editor:

Path=home/myuser/Games/openxcom/UFO

it worked using
Path=/home/myuser/Games/openxcom
Thanks!

This path is not on search list, this mean you need use psavola solution and explicitly ask OXC to search for your path or
move `UFO` to for example `/home/robin/.local/share/openxcom/`.
