Flatpak GZDoom 4.12.2 can't identify IWADS, won't boot

Post by yasaburou »

Hi all, I am on a new Lenovo Legion laptop (2024 Y9000X, identical hardware to 7i) with a new install of Zorin OS (Ubuntu LTS 22.04 base), and have installed GZDoom 4.12.2 from Flatpak.
Unfortunately when booting the app it returns 'Fatal error: Cannot find a game IWAD'. See this screenshot with the error message in the top right corner:

I have followed all three of those instructions, and have even put my IWADs in both ~/.var/app/org.zdoom.GZDoom/.config/gzdoom/ and my custom folder within the home directory, but no luck. I also tried both uppercase and lowercase filenames. I have used these IWADs successfully before on a different computer so I know the files are not the issue either.

Any help would be appreciated.
