App immediately closes without --no-sandbox and launches to a black window on reinstall
The app launches and immediately closes without --no-sandbox. The first time it did this, I assumed the installer had gone wrong, so I reinstalled. After this, the app launched and went to a black screen. After spending about an hour messing with config files and whether or not I specified --no-sandbox, I deleted all itch-related folders and reinstalled once more. It finally worked with this truly fresh install when I specified --no-sandbox.
Output (outputs for all previous attempts, whether immediate closes or black windows, were identical save for the presence or lack thereof of "--no-sandbox":

Same problem. App launches and immediately closes without --no-sandbox.
different OS though, PRETTY_NAME="Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS" (an Ubuntu/Debian derived flavor)
seems to be SUID related here as well (guess, not investigated on my system to any depth yet)
Same problem here with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.. If I directly run the app from "/home/anindya/.itch/app-25.5.1" directory, I get below error log of electron:

and this is my system details
Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
Kernel: Linux 5.15.0-27-generic
Architecture: x86-64
Hope this helps to fix the issue. Meantime, I have found a workaround, the below command runs the executable just fine.
% ./itch --in-progress-gpu --no-sandbox
this is likely a related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/1944468
Also experiencing this issue on Pop OS 22.04, using --no-sandbox is the only way to get the app to run
Unchecking "Disable hardware accelerations" in Preferences fixed this for me. I used --in-process-gpu to get in and access preferences, and now I don't need it.
