Game fails to start on linux

[Spook]

I have tried both the steam version and the flatpak version.

When trying to launch the steam version from the terminal i get the following error:
./wesnoth: error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.67: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Launching from flatpak fails immediately with no output given in the terminal, but the log says:
*** stack smashing detected ***: terminated

What distro is this on?

[Spook]

KDE neon 6.0

[Pentarctagon]

So not the Steam Deck then, right?

[Spook]

Correct. Neon is a distro based on the ubuntu LTS

[Pentarctagon]

Alright, that's weird then. I'm on Mint (also based on Ubuntu LTS releases) and both Steam and Flatpak work fine for me. The libicui18n.so.67 not being found was an issue with the Steam Deck specifically (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam- ... issues/647), but I've never heard of it happening on regular Linux. No idea what to make of the Flatpak error either - the only time that error has popped up previously was when Debian was using WolfSSL as a replacement for OpenSSL (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... bug=970520) but I can't imagine that's related to this problem.

I tried different versions on steam.

1.16 worked without problems.
1.17 gave the same error.

[Pentarctagon]

Is there anything usual about the Steam installation itself? Is it installed via Flatpak or some other way that from the distro packaging?

[Spook]

If I remember correctly, It's installed from the .deb downloaded from the steam website.

[Pentarctagon]

I really don't know what could be the issue then.

Update:

In ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/steam-runtime-sniper/sniper_platform_0.20240307.80401/files/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
I tried making symlinks to the files: libicui18n.so.67.1, libicudata.so.67.1, and libicuuc.so.67.1; where I removed the final ".1"

I then got this error message:
./wesnoth: symbol lookup error: ./wesnoth: undefined symbol: Mix_FadeInChannel

which might be related to this bug:

Currently my version of libsdl2 is 2.28.5
