Doomsday crashes on game launch since upgrading to Ubuntu 24.04LTS
Doomsday worked fine under Ubuntu 22.04LTS, but since upgrading to 24.04LTS it crashes every time I attempt to launch a game (Doom, Doom2, Hexen or Heretic). It doesn't matter whether I'm using Xorg or Wayland. What information can I provide to help you diagnose what is happening?

Doomsday does not work on wayland, need to use x11 compositor, maybe xwayland could work?
Launch with QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb environment variable. Also there's a crash with newer versions of SDL when no gamepads are connected: https://talk.dengine.net/discussion/2964/fix-for-crash-when-no-gamepads-are-connected#latest
For thesourcehim, I set the environment variabe but it didn't make any difference. I'll try connecting a game controller next.
